Add this to your AppModel.
/**
* Validates two inputs against each other
* @param array $data
* @param string $confirmField
* @return boolean
*/
function isMatch($data, $confirmField) {
$data = array_values($data);
$var1 = $data[0];
$var2 = (isset($this->data[$this->name][$confirmField])) ? $this->data
[$this->name][$confirmField] : '';
return ($var1 === $var2);
}
Then add the validation rule to your Model.
'password' => array(
'isMatch' => array(
'rule' => array('isMatch', 'confirmPassword'),
'message' => 'Your confirmed password does not match'
)
)
Hope that helps.
