1) You're probably running CentOS on your production server. 2) CentOS ships with broken PCRE UTF-8 libraries. 3) A few of the validation rules in CakePHP use multibyte flags (e.g. for alphanumeric validation)
Combine the above, and you get the problem you've described. Solutions: 1) Ditch CentOS. It's a piece of shit for PHP web development. It ships with PHP 5.1.6 (4 years old), an ancient version of Apache, OpenSSL 3.x (which is currently at a 5.x release), and more. Using CentOS is just going to cause pain and trouble. 2) Stick with the shit that is CentOS, and fix the RPMs: http://gaarai.com/2009/01/31/unicode-support-on-centos-52-with-php-and-pcre/ 3) Write your own custom validation rules for any built-in rules that use multibyte flags in the regular expressions. There aren't really any other options. -jperras On Feb 17, 3:43 pm, Atti <moltoespeci...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > Just a quick question, I managed to get my data validation working > perfectly on my local apache (XAMPP) web server, but as soon as I > uploaded the site to the internet the validation flag seems to be > always true, ie, there is not validation going on, so it seems.
