Newbie question on form validating
Just starting on Cake (1.2.0). I'm trying to make a form that checks if a code that a user has inputted is in the correct format, then check if it's found in a database. If the first check/validation fails, it returns the user to the first page and displays an error above the code-field. And I don't understand how it's done. What are the steps in achieving this? Is there a tutorial about this? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Newbie question on form validating
I'm really confused with this - can't get even the simplest examples
working.
I set a test case like this:
?php
//app/model/Contact.php
class Contact extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Contact';
var $validate = array(
'email' = array(
'rule' = array('email', true),
'message' = 'Please supply a valid email address.'
)
);
}
?
###
?php
// app/controllers/contacts_controller.php
class ContactsController extends AppController {
var $name='Contacts';
var $uses = array('Contact');
var $helpers = array('form');
function add(){
if( !empty( $this-data ) ){
if ($this-Contact-validates()){
echo yes;
}
if( $this-Contact-save( $this-data ) ){
$lastId = $this-Contact-getLastInsertId();
$this-flash('Your new user has been created.','/c/
contacts/view/'.$lastId );
}
}
}
}
?
!-- /app/views/contacts/add.thtml --
h1Enter Contact Information/h1
form method=post action=?php echo $html-url('/contacts/add')?
?php echo $form-label('Contact.email', Contact's E-mail); ?
?php echo $form-error('Contact.email'); ?
?php echo $form-text('Contact.email', array('size' = '80') ); ?
br /
?php echo $form-submit('Check validity'); ?
/form
When I submit anything, like or 1oi321 or whatever,
everything validates. The e-mail addresses also validate, which is
nice :) but it clearly isn't working at all. What am I missing? Wrong
configuration? My cake version is 1.2.0.7692 RC3.

Re: Newbie question on form validating
A small typo - the path to the model file is of course /app/models/. BUT I just noticed that I can change the model file to whatever, even remove it, and it still works. Is this normal?! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Newbie question on form validating
I'm quessing this has something to do with communicating with the model file. Even if I write die() or some broken code to the model, nothing happens. Are there any ways to confirm that the controller talks to the model, and if not, how could it be fixed? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Re: Newbie question on form validating
OK, thanks for that info! Still, the problem persists. I installed a fresh cake and made this tutorial: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/multiple-rules-of-validation-per-field-in-cakephp-1-2 But even though I followed every step, it just doesn't work, no validation is happening. On Dec 11, 1:48 pm, grigri [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes; Cake supports dynamic models. If you don't create an actual model file, cake will instantiate an instance of AppModel with the name and useTable set up to work properly. This is only useful for basic models though as you can't specify associations, behaviors, validation or anything specific for the auto-model. Its main use is for join tables in HABTM. hth grigri On Dec 11, 11:29 am, AJV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A small typo - the path to the model file is of course /app/models/.

Re: Newbie question on form validating
:D Well I guess I just confirmed my newbie status, I had written the names of the model files Capitalized. I noticed that small letters work much better :D Well, that was a fun couple of hours.

Differences between Session types?
The project I'm working on is expected to get a good load of visitors, so I need to make sure I tune my cake to work as efficiently as possible. Are there any speed/reliability issues between php (native php sessions) and cake (filesystem) -types of sessions? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.
