Why do you call save when validation in the controller fails? Save validates your data using the validation rules in your model. If you want to do some extra validate in your controller, you should make sure, that you don't call save when the extra validation fails.
Did you setup validation rules in your item model? Check the Cookbook for help on that topic: http://book.cakephp.org/view/125/Data-Validation For validation inside your controller you should check this link: http://book.cakephp.org/view/410/Validating-Data-from-the-Controller Hope that helps Markus --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
