Amit's code won't work as-is, because the keys are being duplicated.
For example, try this in an example script:
$test = array(
'Bacon' => array('Yummy'),
'Bacon' => array('Delicious')
);
print_r($test);
You'll see that the first declaration has disappeared. You can only
use a key once in an array.
For validation purposes, do it like this:
var $validate = array(
'email' => array(
array(
'rule' => array('email', 'isUnique'),
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'create',
'message' => 'Your Error Message'
),
array(
'rule' => array('email', 'isUnique'),
'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'update',
'message' => 'Your Error Message'
)
),
);
This way both rules will be observed as there are no duplicate keys.
