Youre better off not merging validation rules together like that rather:
public $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'emailOrUrl' => array(
'rule' => 'validateEmailOrUrl',
'message' => 'Email or url are required'
),
'email' => array(
'rule' => 'email',
'message' => 'Type a real email, yo'
)
),
'email' => array(
'emailOrUrl' => array(
'rule' => 'validateEmailOrUrl',
'message' => 'Email or url are required'
),
'email' => array(
'rule' => 'url',
'message' => 'Type a real url, yo'
)
)
);
public function validateEmailOrUrl() {
return !(empty($this->data[$this->alias]['email'] &&
empty($this->data[$this->alias]['url']));
}
Otherwise it's just another form of repetition.
