The following is my complete code with validation:
students_controller.php
<?php
class StudentsController extends AppController{
var $name='Students';
var $helpers = array('Html','Form','Ajax','Javascript');
var $components=array('Security','RequestHandler');
function beforeFilter()//executed before any controller action
logic
{
//parent::beforeFilter();
if(isset($this->Security) && $this->RequestHandler->isAjax() &&
$this->action = 'getcities'){
$this->Security->enabled = false;
}
}
if (!empty($this->data)){
die(debug($this->Student->validationErrors));
$student=$this->Student->saveAll($this->data);
if (!empty($student))
{$this->Session->setFlash('Your child\'s admission has been
received.
We will send you an email shortly.');
$this->redirect(array('controller'=>'pages', 'action'=>'home'));
}
else{
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Your admission could not be saved.
Please, try again.', true));
}
} //for if (!empty....
$states=$this->Student->MerryParent->State->find('list');
$this->set('states',$states);
$cities=array();
//$this->set(compact('states','cities'));
}//end function
}
?>
Following are my models with validation:
student.php
<?php
class Student extends AppModel{
var $name='Student';
var $belongsTo=array('MerryParent','MerryClass','State','City');
var $validate=array(
'name'=>array(
'rule'=>array('minLength',3),
'required'=>true,
'allowEmpty'=>false,
'message'=>'Name is required!'
),
'dob'=>array(
'rule'=>'date',
'required'=>true,
'allowEmpty'=>false,
'message'=>'Enter a valid birth date!'
),
'class_id'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
'message'=>'Which class are you
enquiring about?'
)
//'city_id'=>array('rule'=>'notEmpty','message'=>'Please select
your city','required'=>true, 'allowEmpty'=>false)
);
}
?>
merry_parent.php
<?php
class MerryParent extends AppModel{
var $name='MerryParent';
var $hasMany=array(
'Student'=>array(
'className'=>'Student',
'foreignKey'=>'merry_parent_id'
)
);
var $belongsTo=array('State','City','MerryClass');
var $validate=array(

),
'address'=>array(
'rule'=>array('alphaNumeric',array('minLength',1)),
'required'=>true,
'allowEmpty'=>false,
'message'=>'Please enter your address.'
),
'state_id'=>array(
'rule'=>'notEmpty',
//'required'=>true,
'message'=>'Please select your state'
),
'postal_code'=>array(
'rule'=>array('numeric',6),
'required'=>true,
'allowEmpty'=>false,
'message'=>'valid postal code
required!'
)
);//closing bracket for $validate array
}
?>
