Re: Validation problem
Thanks a lot. This

helped. Now most of the fields are being validated. Only two left:
'password' => array(

> 'required'=>true,
> 'message' => 'Co najmniej 6 znaków'
> ),
> 'moodle_password' => array(

Both don't validate. I don't know why. :-(

The above is attempting to validate an empty Student object - Student
doesn't have any form data in it. You are missing:
$this->Student->set($this->request->data)
or similar.

Because the form data isn't in/on the model - you're validating nothing.

Where are you doing that?

Re: Validation problem
Ok, I've got everything working now! The rules I have ended up with are; First name: 'rule' => '/^[a-zA-Z]+$/', Second name: 'rule' => '/^[a-zA-Z]+$/', Company name: 'rule' => '/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/', (Company name should also allow spaces) I realise that I could use "/i" instead of the [a-zA-Z] bit but as its working I don't really want to mess it up. So thanks again to both McBuck DGAF and Dr. Loboto for your help in fixing this.

Re: Validation problem
A regexp that only allows letters, numbers and spaces?

Re: Validation problem
I would defer to Dr. Loboto on this, since he obviously knows more about regex than I do. Maybe he can suggest the correct rule . . . ? My only response to your last post, Felix, is that you cannot remove "/ i" since the "/" is required to delimit the regex. In other words, just remove"i". Good luck.

Re: Validation problem
Rule '/^[a-z]$/i' accepts strictly one latin symbol in any case. Example: 'a' or 'B'. Rule '/^[a-z][A-Z]$/i' is same as '/^[a-z][A-Z]$/' and accept strictly two latin symbols, first in lowercase and second in upper. Example: 'aB'. Rule '/^[a-zA-Z]$/i' is same as '/^[a-zA-Z]$/' and same as '/^[a-z]$/ i'. So look upper: it accepts strictly one latin symbol in any case. Example: 'a' or 'B'. So these rules should always fail for username/name/company/etc unless you want them to be 1 symbol.

Re: Validation problem
Removing the /i doesn't do anything unfortunately - I read the handbook page too and thought it should work. They use this to check for any string using alphanumeric characters + dashes + underscores; [0-9a-zA-Z_-] So I would have though that using [a-zA-Z] would work for just upper and lowercase letters. Just so I'm not doing anything stupid, everytime I update the validation in the model and upload it, I then delete what ever files are in the /app/tmp/cache/models directory - is there anything else I need to do.

Re: Validation problem
I thought the "i" at the end of the rule I suggested would make it case insensitive, as described in the manual. (Like I said, regex is not my thing, I am still learning there . . .) Anyway, try removing the "i" from the end of the last rule you suggested (ie, '/^[a-zA-Z] $/') and see if that works.

Re: Validation problem
OK, that validation rule works, kinda. If I remove the validation for the company name (temporarily) the rest of the form validation works, with one exception. The new regex doesn't allow for upper case letters, only lower case. I tried changing it from; '/^[a-z]$/i' to: '/^[a-z][A-Z]$/i' --didn't work to: '/^[a-zA-Z]$/i' --didn't work I think there's something basic I'm missing here! As for the company name that still gives the same errors as before. Thanks for your help thus far, Felix.

Re: Validation problem
Sorry, I wasn't looking at the regex itself, I was just looking at the way you implemented it (and we have not addressed your 'company_name' issue at all, but the solution here should be readily adaptable to that). I am no regex expert, but wouldn't the following get you what you want?: 'rule' => '/^[a-z]$/i', (the regex must be delimited by "/", which is probably the source of your current error) On Jul 12, 7:18 pm, Felix wrote: Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Validation problem
Hi, thanks for the reply - I have updated the validation rules in the
model with your suggestion, I get the following errors back for data
that should be valid (ie. allowed)

The validation rule should only allow a user to input lower and upper
case letters - no numbers spaces or punctuation. (I'm hoping thats
what my original expressions did!)

Could you try:
'rule' => '^[a-zA-Z]+(([\'\,\.\-][a-zA-Z])?[a-zA-Z]*)*
$',
If that works, and you use this regular expression more than once, you
could consider implementing a custom validation rule as described

Re: Validation problem
I would do something like this:
items_controller.php
function foo(){
if (!empty($this->data)) { //check if there is data sent
if($this->User->field('email', array('conditions' =>
array('email' => $this->data['User']['email']{ //find the emai in the
database
} else { //email not found
//your requestAction call
}
}
}

Re: Validation problem wtih "required" flag set
When cake validates fields it first checks for field existence in data
array. If there is no such key, with required=true cake invalidate it,
with required=false cake skip it. So this flag behave exactly as it is
named. If field is required it must be present in data array.

If you don't remove or change $this->data then the form should be
re-filled by FormHelper when that view is displayed again.
function yourAction()
{
if (!empty($this->data))

Re: Validation Problem
You can use 'on' => 'create' or 'on' => 'update' to gain a finer grain of control. You can also set 'allowEmpty' => true for some fields.

Re: Validation problem
Be careful using the alphaNumeric and money validation rules as they require
UTF-8 support for PCRE. On a stock Centos 5 install (or Redhat ES5) I have
PCRE 6.6 06-Feb-2006 compiled in.The following script fails (the
alphaNumeric test from CakePHP 1.2 validation.php):
If you don't need UTF-8 alphaNumeric support I recommend a simpler match
expression:
/^[A-Z0-9]+$/

Re: Validation problem
Hi Oribium, I have had this problem. "This field cannot be left blank" is Cake's default response when the data you are saving does not meet your data structure and you haven't configured a validation message for the validation scenario. For example: if you specify a max field length of 3 characters, then try to save a string of 3 or more, you get the "This field cannot be left blank" response (if you haven't configured a validation rule in your Model). Additionally, it seems the message does not necessarily appear on the field which is having the issue. To fix it, try constructing a query to save the data that is causing the issue. When you identify the problematic data, add a validation rule into your model to catch it and return a more meaningful validation message. Cheers Paul. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Validation problem
Thank you for you reply, Rob.
I simplified things trying to get the troubleshooting more easy. I
created
a model, and a view with only one field, "first_name". I also created
an
add function in the controller which is supposed to validate input
rather
then saving data to the database. The problem remains and I get
redirected
back to the form, where a label "Valid characters: letters and numbers
only, please try again" is attached to the field.
The view:
create('Lead');?>
input('first_name'); ?>
end('Submit');
pr($this->validationErrors);
pr($session);
?>
The model:
array(
'alphaNumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Valid characters: letters and numbers only,
please try
again.'
)));
}
?>
The add function in the controller:
function add() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->RequestHandler->isPost()) {
$this->Lead->create();
$this->Lead->set($this->data);
Debugger::dump($this->data['Lead']);
Debugger::dump($this->Lead->validationErrors);
Debugger::dump($this->Lead->invalidFields());
Debugger::dump($this->Lead->validate);
if ($this->Lead->validates()) {
$this->_sendMail();
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Lead
has been saved', true));
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'index'));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('The Lead
could not be saved. Please,
try
again.', true));
}
}
}
}
Output from the Debugger statements in the add function:
array(
"first_name" => "Paul"
)
array()
array(
"first_name" => "Valid characters: letters and numbers only, please
try
again."
)
array(
"first_name" => array()
)

Re: Validation problem
Without looking at your data model, I can't say for sure, but it would
seem like you may be breaking a rule that is implied by the table.
That said, you might want to add a message to your $validate like:
'last_name' => array(
'alphaNumeric' => array(
'rule' => 'alphanumeric',
'message' => 'Only letters and numbers for last
name, please try again.'
),
)

Re: Validation problem in CakePHP 1.2
Never mind I found my answer! For those of you looking to get two
password fields to validate, or having the same problem as me this
form has your answers. Here's what was wrong:
In the Controller this is what I had:
//register function
function register() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->data['User']['password'] == $this-
>Auth->password($this-
>data['User']['password_confirm'])) {
$this->User->create();
$this->User->save($this->data);
$this->Session->setFlash("You have
been registered! You can log
in now.");
$this->redirect(array('action' =>
'index'));
}
}
}
I checked out my original code and compared it, after comparing it I
added this little snippet and now it works:
//register function
function register() {
if (!empty($this->data)) {
if ($this->data['User']['password'] ==
$this->Auth->password($this-
>data['User']['password_confirm'])) {
$this->User->create() &&
$this->User->validates();
if ($this->User->save($this->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("You have been
registered! You can log
in now.");
$this->redirect(array('action' =>
'index'));
}
}
}
}

Re: Validation Problem
I'm a dough-head. Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly.
But, would you really need to change the name f any countries? Those
don't change too often. And when one did, I'd think you'd want to
update the main DB record for it rather than the association to some
other model.
If what you want to do is to update the list of associated countries
to your model, you could do:
$form->select('Country.Country', $countries, null, array('class' =>
'Required', 'multiple' => 'checkbox'));
(note the double "Country"--that's important)
This will create checkboxes for each country. I can't remember,
offhand, how to make the associated ones checked (sorry).
Your $countries var would be an array gotten from a find('list') call
in the controller. Or, you could replace it with
$this->requestAction('Countries/getList') if you had an appropriate
controller/action for that.

Re: Validation Problem
Thanks, I understand what you are saying but what I need is to be able
to edit mutliple items at once.
For example if I have to edit 20 countries, clicking on every one,
editing it and saving it would take me alot more time then selecting
the ones I need to edit and having them presented in 1 page to be
edited and saved.
I also need to validate them but, for example, being all
"Country.name" I don't know how to obtain this.
For the part about the parser, Thanks! I'm pretty new to php and
cakephp, but willing to learn.

Re: Validation Problem
You might find it simpler to, instead creating a form, to put links
around the country names pointing to an edit method. In the edit view,
create one form to edit the table fields and one form to delete. So
you have something like:
Edit Canada
echo $form->create('Country', array('action' => 'delete');
echo $form->hidden('Country.id', array('value' => $some_var));
echo $form->submit('delete');
echo $form->end();
echo $form->create('Country', array('action' => 'edit');
...
echo $form->submit('edit');
echo $form->end();
This way, each action points directly to the corresponding method and
you only have to deal with one item at a time. I realise that this may
not be practical but it may work for you.
Regarding $some_var above, your code appears to assume that the
country IDs & names are going to line up with your counter var $i. I
may be missing something but that looks odd to me. I'd think it's be
better (if your $countries array is constructed as $id => $name) to do
it with a while like so:
foreach ($countries as $key => $name)
{
$html->link($name, "countries/edit/${id}");
}
I've used my link suggestion but it's just as applicable to a form
setup like you have.
BTW, in your views, you don't need to put around every
line. If you don't have any HTML markup to add then you can just open
a block:
create(array('url'=>'/countries/process'));
for($i =0; $i<$countries; $i++) {
echo $form->hidden('Country'.$i.'.Country.id');
echo $form->input('Country'.$i.'.Country.name');
}
echo $form->submit('Save', array('name'=>'save'));
echo $form->end();
?>
Otherwise, you're making the parser (and anyone who has to look at
your code) work a lot harder than necessary ;-)

SOLVED. Re: Validation problem with multiple select boxes
Well, I got it. Mea maxima culpa.
In the controller, I was setting the select[Model] array with only one
index. Instead of:
if(empty($this->data['Model']['Model'])) { $this->data['Model']
['Model'] = null; }
$this->set('selectedModels', $this->data['Model']['Model']);
I was trying:
if(empty($this->data['Model'])) { $this->data['Model'] = null; }
$this->set('selectedAreas', $this->data['Model']);
This was bombing out at the _selectedArray method of the controller
class. After some hours scattering var_dumps here and there, the
problem became obvious. Hope with time and experience I start to get
these kind of stupid mistakes faster. Or avoid them.

Re: Validation problem
In beforeSave(), before returning false, you can do$this->invalidate($field_name);To me, beforeValidate() seems a little more logical place to put that, though.Hope it works for you.Sohei --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
