Hi, thanks for the reply - I have updated the validation rules in the
model with your suggestion, I get the following errors back for data
that should be valid (ie. allowed)
==
Warning (2): preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter
'^' found [CORE/cake/libs/model/model.php, line 2571]
Notice (8): Undefined offset: 0 [CORE/cake/libs/model/model.php, line
2550]
Warning (512): Could not find validation handler for company_name
[CORE/cake/libs/model/model.php, line 2573]
==
The validation rule should only allow a user to input lower and upper
case letters - no numbers spaces or punctuation. (I'm hoping thats
what my original expressions did!)
The "Account" model now reads as;
==
<?php
class Account extends AppModel {
var $name = 'Account';
var $useDbConfig = 'accounts';
var $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'rule' => 'email',
'message' => 'Email must be valid.',
'allowEmpty' => false
),
'password' => array(
'rule' => array('minlength', 6),
'message' => 'Passwords must be six (6) characters or
more.',
'allowEmpty' => false
),
'first_name' => array(
'rule' => '^[a-zA-Z]+(([\'\,\.\-][a-zA-Z])?[a-zA-Z]*)*$',
'message' => 'Names can only contain letters.',
'allowEmpty' => false
),
'second_name' => array(
'rule' => '^[a-zA-Z]+(([\'\,\.\-][a-zA-Z])?[a-zA-Z]*)*$',
'message' => 'Names can only contain letters.',
'allowEmpty' => false
),
'company_name' => array(
'rule' => array('custom' => '(\w(\s)?)+'),
'message' => 'Company names can only contain letters,
numbers and spaces.'
),
/*
'terms_accepted' => array(
'rule' => array('boolean'),
'required' => true,
'message' => 'You must agree to the terms and conditions
and privacy policy.',
)
*/
);
}
?>
