You *should* be able to do this with "saveAll". saveAll will validate your records and then try to save all the records in a single transaction, so you don't have to validate first and then perform a transaction.
If for some reason you wanted to validate separately- just do: $this-> Product->saveAll($this->data['Product'], array('validate' => 'only')) to just perform validation on your records http://book.cakephp.org/view/1031/Saving-Your-Data -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
