I mean when I hit submit the form gets sent and comes back invalid but nothing is marked as invalid (even when I leave it completely empty). Then same page without refreshing or anything just hit submit on that same returned form it comes back with errors. Even if I have letters / numbers in the field it says Can not be empty.
Just weird.

Have you got validation working anywhere else in your app? When you say hit submit and nothing do you mean it shows the form again and is this because it has failed to validate? You maybe want to echo $this->validationErrors in your view to see what errors you are getting, it may be that you are getting the errors but something is up with the form field naming that is stopping the automagic working. In my controllers I personally go for the following approach rather than validating first as save does that for you. if($this->Model->save($this->data)) { // Validated and saved, save a flash message and redirect to desired page } else { // Failed, show form again with errors } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
