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? - greg strockbine --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
