Subject: Validate belongsTo


I am trying to validate Country and State models from there related models
$belongsTo
 
In the form users select Country and State which is populated from the db.
 
So each has an id...
 
Now I want to make sure someone is not messing with the values with Firebug.

So in my Experience controller this is the 

debug($this->data); right before the save();
 
Array
(
    [Experience] => Array
        (
            [company] => Sants Workshop
            [position] => Head Elf
            [city] => Secret
            [state_id] => 31
            [country_id] => 3
            [respons] => 2222
            [start] => 2055
            [finished] => 0000
        )

)

So I change a State value to ABCD which is not in the DB as an ID....

Array
(
    [Experience] => Array
        (
            [company] => Sants Workshop
            [position] => Head Elf
            [city] => Secret
            [state_id] => ABCD
            [country_id] => 3
            [respons] => 2222
            [start] => 2055
            [finished] => 0000
        )

)

State Model:

function checkStateValues($data)
      {
                  $valid = false;
          if (!empty($this->data)) {
                          $san = new Sanitize();
              $this->data = $san->paranoid($this->data);
                         $results = array_diff($this->data,
$this->find('list', array('fields' => 'id', 'order' => 'id ASC')));
              if (empty($results)) 
                                  $valid = true;
          }
                return $valid;
      }

Do I need to set both State and Country to their models? I have in the
controller:

$black = array('id', 'user_id');
                  if ($this->Experience->save($this->data, true,
array_diff(array_keys($this->Experience->schema()), $black))) {

So it should be checking validation before save with 'true' no? Or does it
only validate the Experience Model?

Thanks

Dave
