I have an app where the user must be able to login with either their email address or mobile (cell) phone number. I'm using CakePHP 1.3 with Auth component for authentication and all is well. I even have the desired functionality working with the below code in the beforeFilter() of my accounts controller (my users table is called accounts).
app/controllers/accounts_controller.php function beforeFilter() { parent::beforeFilter(); $this->Auth->allow('login', 'logout'); if ($this->action == 'login') { if (!empty($this->data)) { if (strpos($this->data['Account']['email'], '@') === false) { $this->data['Account']['mobile'] = preg_replace('/ [^0-9]/', '', $this->data['Account']['email']); unset($this->data['Account']['email']); $this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'mobile', 'password' => 'password'); } else { $this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password'); } $this->Auth->login($this->data); } } } And here's the form: app/views/accounts/login.ctp <?php echo $form->create('Account', array('action' => 'login')); echo $form->input('email', array('label' => 'Email Address or Mobile Phone Number')); echo $form->input('password'); echo $form->end('Sign In'); ?> As I said, this works fine. I can login with an emaill address or mobile phone number. However, if I submit the login form with empty values (enter nothing and hit submit), I get a blank screen (instead of the login form with an authMessage). Any ideas?
