But doesn't $this->validate just call the validation using the
$validate variable set in the model? That's the variable I'm trying
to set based on a session variable. The $validate variable will
contain the validate rules I want applied.
I've run this code. The $validate variable is getting set properly
inside beforeValidate() BUT cake is not using it to validate my data.
So can I not assign another array to the $validate variable? Is that
variable getting passed BEFORE beforeValidate() is being called?
