Why don't you do the validation on the same page using javascript if
you're going that route. Otherwise, you will have to use the model
validation and let the controller method complete what it needs to.
if($this->Model->create($this->data) && $this->Model->validates()) {
if($this->Model->save($this->data)) {
$this->redirect('/somewhere');
exit;
} else {
throw new Exception("Could not save the user data!");
}
} else {
$this->render();
exit;
}
