Sorry, you are absolutely right, redirecting causes the validation
error messages to be lost. So, reverse the logic.
You currently have a view that renders the form that collects the
search criteria (you don't say what this is but I'll call it
search_form as I did above). So there is an action and a view called
search_form. The action search_form() will do the call to validates()
and if the result is false, re-renders the search form with the
errors. If the validation is successful, THEN you redirect to the
action/view that renders the search results.
function search_form() {
if ($this->Plan->validates()) {
$this->redirect('search'); // Renders the search results
}
// Drops through to re-render search form
}
