Can't validate model ?!
Hey everybody,
I'm new to CakePHP, so don't shoot me if I made a stupid mistake.
I'm having a problem validating my model I created. I think I done
everything right, but it doesnt' work.
I already took a look at http://book.cakephp.org/view/1143/Data-Validation
and http://book.cakephp.org/view/1182/Validating-Data-from-the-Controller.
According to the cookbook I done it right but somehow I can't get my
model to be validated.
This is my code so far:
My Link_controller.php
?php
class LinksController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Links';
var $helpers = array('Html','Session');
function index()
{
$this-set(links,$this-Link-find('all'));
}
function add()
{
if(isset($this-data))
{
$this-Link-set($this-data);
if($this-Link-validates())
{
debug($this-data);
//if($this-Link-save($this-data))
$this-Session-setFlash('Data Saved
Succesfully');
}
}
}
}
?
If i don't type anything in my form my add method gets to the debug
statement. Which I find strange because I use the isset($this-data).
my debug print out looks like this :
Array
(
[Link] = Array
(
[link_name] =
[link_url] =
[link_category] =
[link_img_url] =
)
)
my link model
?php
class Link extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Link';
var $validate = array(
'link_name' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty'
),
'link_url' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty'
)
);
/* var $validate = array(
'link_name' = array(
'link_name_rule1' = array(
'rule' = 'alphaNumeric',
'message' = 'Link name can only contain
numbers and letters'
),
'link_name_rule2' = array(
'rule' = array('macLength',50),
'message' = 'Link name can maximum have 50
characters'
),
'link_name_rule3' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty',
'message' = 'The field cannot be empty'
),
'link_name_rule4' = array(
'rule' = 'isUnique',
'message' = 'The field must be unique'
)
),
'link_url' = array(
'link_url1' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty',
'message' = 'The url cannot be empty'
),
'link_url2' = array(
'rule' = array('url',true),
'message' = 'The given input isnot a valid url'
)
),
'link_category' = array(
'link_category' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty',
'message' = 'The category cannot be empty'
),
'link_category' = array(
'rule' = array('between',1,3),
'message' = 'The image category must be 1,2 or
3'
)
),
'link_img_url' = array(
'link_img_url1' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty',
'message' = 'The image url cannot be empty'
),
'link_img_url2' = array(
'rule' =
array('extension',array('gif','jpeg','png','jpg')),
'message' = 'Please supply a valid image'
)
)
);*/
}
?
I first tried some simple rules but they also don't seem to work.
and my add view:
?php
echo $form-create('Link');
echo $form-input('link_name');
echo $form-input('link_url');
echo $form-input('link_category');
echo $form-input('link_img_url');
echo $form-end('Add Link');
?
I find it really strange could some one please help me find this
stupid bug ?
Thanks a lot,
cheers

Re: Can't validate model ?!
you should use
if(!empty($this-data)) {}
see baked code examples
as a beginner i strongly recommend that you use baking to create your
views and forms

Re: Can't validate model ?!
Thanks for the response but !empty doesn't work either.
it still passes the if and de debug output is still:
Array
(
[Link] = Array
(
[link_name] =
[link_url] =
[link_category] =
[link_img_url] =
)
)
when I don't input anything in the form.
Maybe you're right of using the console to bake my first app but still my code
should work.
Could any body see the error or mistake I made ?
