Validate from the controller
Hello Folks!
Imagine the following situation:
I create a validation rule on the controller, for example, like below:
$this-Person-validate = array(
'Name' = array(
'rule' = 'notEmpty',
'message' = 'Some error text message here'
)
);
In the view i have a form like this:
?php print $form-input('Person.0.Name'); ?
?php print $form-input('Person.1.Name'); ?
I don't want to save the data, just validate it. So, i do the
following at the controller:
$this-Person-set( $this-data );
$this-Person-validates() {
//
}
However, the code above doesn't validates the data when it is a array
like:
Array(
[0] = array(
['Name'] = 'Some Name'
),
[1] = array(
['Name'] = 'Some Name'
)
)
With $this-ControllerName-validates(), how can i validate a array
like happens when using $this-ModelName-saveAll().
Best Regards,
Felipe Carballo

Re: Validate from the controller
I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are going for here, but if all you want to do is validate the input THEN save, which is what I gather from your question (please correct me if I'm wrong) then you need to move your validation code to the model and anything else if you want to do before a save you can put it in a callback. i.e beforeSave in the model as well I hope this helps -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.

Re: Validate from the controller
I believe you have to use saveAll() in this instance, validates() only supports 1 array dimension.

Re: Validate from the controller
Miles J, it's all i want to know. If validates() supports only one array dimension, i can't validate like i did. =/ Thank you folks.
