''(Note: I have posted a very detailed response in the google-group, which

php/browse_thread/thread/5da14ef82b2c257e )''[[BR]][[BR]]
There are many ways in which you can implement this feature yourself in
CakePHP. Here's one approach:
{{{
// in either your app_model.php or a model class
public function alnumWhitelist($data, $whitelist = array()) {
$data = array_values($data);
$check = $data[0];
$whitelist = implode($whitelist);
$rule =
/^[\p{Ll}\p{Lm}\p{Lo}\p{Lt}\p{Lu}\p{Nd}{$whitelist}]+$/mu;
return preg_match($rule, $check);
}
// in your model validation rules
// Note that some special characters need to be properly escaped.
public $validate = array(
'name' = array(
'rule' = array('alnumWhitelist', array('\s', '\-', \',
'\')),
'allowEmpty' = false
),
);
}}}
You can place the custom validation rule in a model, or make it available
on an application-level by putting it in your app_model. If you want to
get fancy you could also wrap up the validation rule in a behavior, add
test cases and put the whole lot in a plugin, which would make the whole
thing portable, re-usable and application independent.[[BR]][[BR]]

Replying to [comment:8 phally]:
Replying to [comment:7 michaelc]:
Please change milestone to 1.3.x.x - a more generic and useful
extension is to allow special characters to be passed to the alphaNumeric
function as an optional second parameter, such as Sanitize::paranoid
accepts. I create my own versions of the same to slap into AppModel until
the framework supports the common case.
[[BR]]
I can't think of many good examples when to use this and why a simple
regex wouldn't do fine. When you start adding characters to the
alphanumeric rule, it wouldn't be very alphanumeric right?
[[BR]]
Mostly because I wouldn't like typing
{{{'/^[\p{Ll}\p{Lm}\p{Lo}\p{Lt}\p{Lu}\p{Nd} ]+$/mu'}}} once for every
different rule I'll be using, with the exception of a character or two.
I'm currently using these rules for address and name, as a shorthand for a
fairly bothersome regex.
[[BR]]
Though I admit that we don't always want to lock down a system entirely,
occasionally CakePHP's email validation regex,
{{{'/^[a-z0-9!#$%\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%\'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]*\.)*(?:[a-z0-9][-a-z0-9]{0,62})\.(?:(?:[a-z]{2}\.)?[a-z]{2,4}|museum|travel)$/i'}}},
can be nice to have.
