Yup, you've got it right. The only improvement would be that you don't
need to give an index for each of the rules under zip.
var $validate = array(
'zip' => array(
array(
'rule' => array('postal', null, 'us'),
'message' => 'Must be a valid zip code.',
'required' => true,'allowEmpty' => true,
'on' => 'create',
),
array(
'rule' => array('postal', null, 'us'),
'message' => 'Must be a valid zip code.',
'required' => true,'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'update',
),
)
);
Works just the same.
