Hi
I'm using CakePHP version 1.2.3.8166 running and PHP 5.2.9.
I've been following the blog tutorial on the CakePHP site and adapting
it for my own basic project. I've got to the bit where the tutorial
introduces data validation. I know the validation fails or passes; but
for some reason I just can't get it to display error messages in the
form.
Here's my controller add method for adding a new record:
function add()
{
// If we have some data to save
if (!empty($this->data))
{
if ($this->Birdfamily->save($this->data))
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Your bird family has been
saved', true);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
}
else
{
$this->Session->setFlash('Your bird family has NOT
been saved', true);
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'add')); // If there
was a problem then go back to the form
}
}
}
Here is my add.ctp view:
<h1>Add A Bird Family</h1>
<?php
echo $form->create('Birdfamily');
echo $form->input('english_name');
echo $form->error('english_name');
echo $form->input('latin_name');
echo $form->error('latin_name');
echo $form->input('tax_order');
echo $form->error('tax_order');
echo $form->end('Save Bird Family');
?>
and, finally, here is my model with the validation:
class Birdfamily extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Birdfamily';
// Set up validation for Bird Families
var $validate = array(
'english_name' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'All fields are required'
),
'latin_name' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'All fields are required'
),
'tax_order' => array(
'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'message' => 'All fields are required'
)
);
}
All very basic stuff I'm sure you'll agree.
If I submit an empty form it returns to the form with the correct
flash message; but why doesn't it display any of the messages saying
'All fields are required'?

David
