I thought I was going to be smart
and use CakePHP for my next project,
here I am in week 2 and I've had to bow
out and let someone else take over.

I thought I would get a jump start by
using cake to handle all the messy
database stuff and I find myself mired
in figuring out how to use cake.

yet all around me on the net I see people
raving how cake saved their lives.

I have a simple form to gather user info.
I'm getting this error message from cake:
"This field cannot be left blank".  This is
perplexing because the field is not blank,
it's got an address in it and I told cake to
validate it as alpha-numeric. there is also
this message that appears twice at the
very top of the page:
"Empty regular expression [CORE/cake/libs/validation.php, line 774]"

Searching through the cake group someone
says that the 1.2 beta up on site is old and
recommends grabbing a nightly build, so
I do that.  Granted that takes care of the
phone number field, for which I no longer
get the "cannot be blank" message, but there's
at least 4 other fields on the page with that
message.

All the other posts I see about "this field cannot
be blank" are asking how to change that message
with one of their own.

Am I doing something wrong or am I seeing a bug
in cake?

at what point does the rapid kick in?

I have another form that by the default 'bake'
appears as "text input" but I want it to be a
drop down menu.  I have to wade through the
api to figure this one out.  I'm just wondering
if it's worth it, or should I just go back to
plain old php?
