Well, I can see a few problems straight away:
* You're confusing the 'required' and 'allowEmpty' validation keys.
'required' means it must be present in the array, 'allowEmpty'
controls whether empty values are allowed. 'allowEmpty' is checked
before anything else, so an empty field without `'allowEmpty' =>
false` won't even make it to your validation routine.
* Your regular expressions are erroneous:
(In your first post)
'rule' => array('custom', '/[A-Z]{2}$/i'),
You've specified in the comments 'Must exist and be two capital
letters, eg CA', whereas your regexp says 'must end with 2 letters'. A
more correct one would be
'/^[A-Z]{2}$/'
* the 'comparaison' validation isn't type-specific. So your
`array('comparison', '>=', 1)` doesn't mean "must be a number not less
than one", it means "must not come after 1 when sorted
alphabetically". Try using a regular expression like '/^[1-9][0-9]*
$/' (which means first character must be 1..9, all the others must be
0..9).
Also, your form generation code looks incredibly verbose. You might
want to look into the FormHelper::inputs() method. I get a complicated
form layout with this code:
<div class="col">
<?php
$fields = array(
'legend' => 'Account Login Details',
'defaults' => array('before' => '<div class="label">', 'between' =>
'</div><div class="field">', 'after' => '</div>'),
'Customer.email' => array('size' => 30),
'Customer.password' => array('size' => 30),
'Customer.confirm_email' => array('size' => 30),
'Customer.confirm_password' => array('size' => 30, 'type' =>
'password'),
);
echo $form->inputs($fields);
?>
</div>
<div class="col">
<?php
$fields = array(
'legend' => 'Your Details',
'defaults' => array('before' => '<div class="label">', 'between' =>
'</div><div class="field">', 'after' => '</div>'),
'Customer.firstname' => array('size' => 30),
'Customer.surname' => array('size' => 30),
'Customer.tos' => array('div'=>true,
'type'=>'checkbox', 'class' => 'checkbox', 'label' => 'I agree to the
' . $html->link('Terms of Service', '/pages/terms', array('target' =>
'_blank')))
);
echo $form->inputs($fields);
?>
<?php echo $form->submit('submit-button.png', array('alt' =>
'Submit')); ?>
</div>
(Note that the confirm_email, confirm_password and tos do not
correspond to fields in the schema, but they do have validation
entries).
Anyway, hope this helps
