Re: Validating data always fails, why?

[citrus]

if you want to do the validation manually, in CakePHP 1.2 use the
following:

if ($this->User->create($this->data) && $this->User->validates()) {
  // validation ok
} else {
  // validation failed
}

otherwise, use $this->User->save($this->data) directly as Grant Cox
pointed out.

Re: Validating data always fails, why?

[Grant Cox]

Your controller should be much simpler - like:

if ( $this->User->save($this->data) ){
  echo "saved";
} else {
  $this->log( $this->User->validationErrors );
  echo "not saved";
}

the save() call automatically validates the data, and will not save if
it does not pass validation.  The log() call will write out the
validation errors to your app/tmp/logs/error.log file, and it should
identify which values are not passing.

Validating data always fails, why?

[Steveston]

in model:
 var $validate = array
 (
  //'username'  => '/[0-9]{8}$/',
  //'student_no'=> '/[0-9]{8,9}$/',
  'last_name' =>  '/[a-zA-Z]$/',
  'first_name'=>  '/[a-zA-Z]$/',
  //'password'=>'/^.{5,8}/',
  'email'=>VALID_EMAIL
 );

in controller:

if ($this->User->validate($this->data))
 {
 $this->User->save($this->data);
 echo "Saved";
 }
 else
 {
 $this->validateErrors($this->User);
 echo 'Not saved';
 }

Submitted form:
first name: Test
last name: test
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
student #:12345678

This data is supposed to pass data validation, but it turns out it
always fails, as I always get "Not saved" printout.

Even weird, if I purposely add some number after some letters as first
name or last name, I do not get error message (I have set $html-
>tagError correctly in view page). All I get is still "Not saved".

Any idea? Where did make mistake?

Thanks!
