Would it suffice to remove the 'rule' key and just retain 'required' and 'allowEmpty'? 2. How do I get the required class to appear on div's surrounding a $form-input() that is part of an associated model?

Re: Setting Required Validation in a Model
I never use allowEmpty or required = true. Simply use the rule notEmpty which means the field cannot be empty, thus required. And if a field doesnt have that rule, its not required, it works perfectly for me. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups CakePHP group.

Of course, that makes me wonder even more about why the other keys exist and how they behave. I'll give the book another read. Maybe I missed something. Any idea what it takes to get the form helper to automatically populate the required class in the generated markup?

Setting Required Validation in a Model
I'm trying to figure out how to set validation in one of my models
(v1.2) and I don't understand the docs. In this case, I want to start
simple and just indicate that in my Address model, street_address_1 is
required. In the code below (borrowed from the book), I don't
understand the breakdown. The way I read it is clearly incorrect
because it looks like the 'alphaNumeric' rule is required and that
doesn't make any sense to me. I also can't find any built-in
required rule (though I do so notEmpty, minLength, etc.).
If I were to simplify this example and simple ask that the login field
be required, how would I do that?
?php
class User extends AppModel {
var $name = 'User';
var $validate = array(
'login' = array(
'alphaNumeric' = array(
'rule' = 'alphaNumeric',
'required' = true,
'message' = 'Alphabets and numbers only'
),
'between' = array(
'rule' = array('between', 5, 15),
'message' = 'Between 5 to 15 characters'
)
),
'password' = array(
'rule' = array('minLength', '8'),
'message' = 'Mimimum 8 characters long'
),
'email' = 'email',
'born' = array(
'rule' = 'date',
'message' = 'Enter a valid date',
'allowEmpty' = true
)
);
}
?

As it always seems to happen, I found my explicit answer in the book shortly after hitting Send, but that did lead to another question. Given: public $validate = array ( 'street_address_1' = array ( 'rule' = 'notEmpty', 'required' = true, 'allowEmpty' = false, 'message' = 'Street address is required' ), 'city' = array ( 'rule' = 'notEmpty', 'required' = true, 'allowEmpty' = false, 'message' = 'City is required' ) ); Do I really need the 'rule' key _and_ the 'allowEmpty' key? Would it suffice to remove the 'rule' key and just retain 'required' and 'allowEmpty'?
