Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
Even "manual" invalidation doesn't help:
$this->ModelName->invalidate('field_name', 'error_message'); doesn't
display error_message in layout :-/

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
Doesn't anybody validate select_boxes?
How do you render error_messages?

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
Hi Japheth,
The problem is that if I use 'selected'=>'' and when form doesn't
validate because wrong fields the application "doesn't remember" the
selected value in list box. For example if user selects 2001-2002 tax
year and submit form with wrong field for tax, form doesn't validate
and remember the entered value for tax, but doesn't remember the
selected tax year because of using 'selected'=>''

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
Hi Senser,
I've managed to use showEmpty => ' ', to provide an option that is
essentially blank. You could then use trim() if you found that ' '
still was counted as a value?
Also, if you want to make sure that the empty option is selected by
default, you could add 'selected' => ' ' to your options array also.
Does that make sense? If so, did it help?
Cheers,
Japheth

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
I found this link while searching for resolve but it didn't help -
when I use "array(showEmpty=>'Select ...')" it shows in select box but
it's not selected by default and doesn't help :(
May be select boxes must be validated in different manner but I don't
know how

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2
Hi manuj.
Your proposal didn't solve my problem. I think I did read somewhere in
group postings that using fromHelpr->input is the right way for form
fields and using formHelper->select, formHelper->label, ... etc will
be deprecated in next versions of CakePHP. I'm not sure for this and
correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: select box validation in CakaPHP 1.2

input function
try it
*view code
echo $form->label('modelname.name')
echo $form->select('modelname.name',array('value'=>'text'));
echo $form->error('it can't be blank');
