Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to cakePHP and I've been struggling with a simple user registration feature. For the past two days, I've been stuck on validating the form. No matter what, the validation function always returns true, which means that even if the form is empty, it still gets saved to the database.
I've provided the model, controller, and view below. Can anyone spot any mistakes or suggest any fixes?
/app/Model/MemberModel.php
<?php
class Member extends AppModel {
var $validate = array(
"username" => array(
"rule" => "alphaNumeric",
"allowEmpty" => false
)
);
}
?>
/app/Controller/MemberController.php
<?php
class MemberController extends AppController {
var $components = array("Security");
var $helpers = array("Html", "Form");
public function index() {
}
public function register() {
if($this->request->is("post")) {
Security::setHash("blowfish");
$this->Member->set($this->request->data);
debug($this->Member->validates());
if($this->Member->save(array("password" => Security::hash($this->request->data["Member"]["password"])))) {
$this->Session->setFlash(__("Saved."));
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__("Error: ").$this->validationErrors);
}
}
}
}
?>
/app/View/Member/register.ctp
<?php
echo $this->Form->create("Member");
echo $this->Form->input("username");
echo $this->Form->input("password");
echo $this->Form->end("Register");
?>
