I just noticed another thing about your problem.
The reason why you get a preg_match error is because you weren't able
to follow the proper syntax for the validation rule.
for simple rules, you can follow this sample code (got from book):
var $validate = array(
'fieldName1' => array(
'rule' => 'ruleName', // or: array('ruleName', 'param1',
'param2' ...)
'required' => true,
'allowEmpty' => false,
'on' => 'create', // or: 'update'
'message' => 'Your Error Message'
)
);
for multiple rules:
var $validate = array(
'fieldName' => array(
'ruleName' => array(
'rule' => 'ruleName',
// extra keys like on, required, etc. go here...
),
'ruleName2' => array(
'rule' => 'ruleName2',
// extra keys like on, required, etc. go here...
)
)
);
