I am finally getting around to implementing the validation rules but seem to
be not quite understanding it or something.
I have this set up to validate Username:
....
'username' => array(
'user-notempty' => array(
'rule' => array(
'minLenght', 8),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'last' => true,
'message' => 'User name must be a minimun of 8
characters.'),
'user-unique' => array(
'rule' => array('checkUnique', 'username'),
'message' => 'Username taken. Use another')),
....
Now it checks the unique factor just fine if there is a match when I test it
but if i enter a Username that is less than 8 characters it does nothing in
validation. It passes as OK.
I also can not seem to validate fields that are not in a database such as
when I want to change the password. User enters new password in new_pass
field and new_confirm in new_confirm field. There are no fields in the db
for these fields but i added :
'new_confirm' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array(
'minLenght', 8),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please confirm your password.'
)
),
'new_pass' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array(
'minLenght', 8),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'Please enter a password with minimum 8
characters.'
)
),
I read the cookbook validation section and it makes sense to me but
obviously am doing something wrong.
Ideas where I went wrong?
Thanks
Dave
