That's much more sound. And thanks for the laugh.

Re: Validate belongsTo model in select element - inList does not seem to work?
Something like this should work:
(code not tested, but theory sound)
class Customer extends AppModel {
var $validate = array(
'country_id' => array(
array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[a-z]{2}$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
),
array(
'rule' => array('checkCountry'),
'message' => Please stop playing with firebug.'
),
)
);
function checkCountry($data) {
$countryCode = reset($data);
return $this->Country->hasAny(array('Country.code' =>
$countryCode));
}
}

Brian, your solution seems to be ok, but there is one problem: Let's assume the selectbox contains the 3 items de, nl and dk. Selecting one of the items would pass the validation. But aa, ab, ac, ad, ae and so on would also pass the validation without being valid. So what is the way to go? I guess you have to write a custom validation rule, that checks if the selected item is part of the association. Hope that helps.

It depends on the primary key you're using for Country. I use the ISO
code, others might use an auto-increment field. Either way, just check
that Customer.country_id is not empty and conforms to whatever kind of
PK you're using.
**
I just noticed that your field is "country" not "country_id". The
latter is the way Cake would expect it by default.
**
In your Customer's $validate array ...
'country_id' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[a-z]{2}$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
)
or, for integer PK:
'country_id' => array(
'rule' => array('custom', '/^[0-9]+$/'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'Please select the country that you reside in.'
)

Validate belongsTo model in select element - inList does not seem to work?
Hi,
I am trying to validate data from an association the I output to the
view like:
$this->set('countries', $this->Customer->Country->find('list'));
and in the view:
echo $form->input('Customer.country'); // Results in select
How would I validate the input of this form? I was thinking I could
use "inList", but that does not seem to provide this functionality.
Thanks,
Michael
