cakephp form validation

Question

does anyone know if there is a VALIDATE function for a form in cakePHP and view the errors array? i.ve checked the documentation but the only thing i found is the SAVE function, i just need to know if the data i send is valid and review the errors manually.

Answer 1

Try this

$this->ModelName->set( $this->data );

if ($this->ModelName->validates()) {
  // it validated logic
} else {
  // didn't validate logic
}
