hi, As earlier said u are sending the form data to a different page...
function thank_you() { > if( !empty($this->data) ) > { > $this->User->create(); > if( $this->User->save($this->data) ) > { > } > else > { > $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'),null,true); > } > } > else > { > // we're at this place because a form was not filled in > $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'),null,true); > } > } Now in cakePHP the validation works when u call save. so if if( $this->User->save($this->data) ) is false it means that ur form has errors So what u r doing is that u are redirecting the page when there are form erros. So give any redirect page in the else condition it will automatically come to ur form page. Also there is no need for $this->User->create(); Think u got the point.
