Hi! I have a form that submits it's data to a controller, which then processes it (possibly in some complicated way) and saves it to a database. Or even doesn't save it, just uses it to render view. The point is that there is no direct relation between form fields and database tables. How do I validate such form, while still having the benefits of form helpers mentioned in tutorials (automatic toggling of error messages, repopulating the fields with entered data). One idea I have is to create the model with empty useTable var, and use it to validate the form - but that's not entirely intuitive to me. Is it okay (and "the MVC way") to do so, create such model for every form I want to validate, or is there some other, preferred solution?
The other question is - there is a function that I want to be accessible by two controllers (but not necessarily by every function in the whole application, global variables and functions doesn't sound too OOP). Where do I put it to make it possible? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
