    <p>I am trying to build my first CakePHP application and I am having some trouble with the form validation not showing when I try to add to the database. On submitting the form I get the flash message (as shown in the controller below), but the individual validation does not show.</p> <p>Model:</p> <pre><code>class Client extends AppModel { public $validate = array ( 'businessName' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'mustBeUnique'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'isUnique', 'message'=&gt;'Name already registered' ), 'maxLength50'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 50), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds 50 Characters' ) ), 'address1' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'maxLength50'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 50), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds 50 Characters' ) ), 'address2' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'maxLength50'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 50), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds 50 Characters' ) ), 'address3' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'maxLength50'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 50), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds 50 Characters' ) ), 'postCode' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'postCode' =&gt; array( 'rule'=&gt;array('postal', null, 'uk'), 'message'=&gt;'Please enter a valid postcode' ) ), 'telephone1' =&gt; array ( 'mustNotBeBlank'=&gt;array( 'rule'=&gt;'notEmpty', 'message'=&gt;'Must not be empty' ), 'maxLength11'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 11), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds phone number length' ), 'mustBeNumber'=&gt;array( 'rule' =&gt;'numeric', 'message' =&gt; 'Must be a number' ) ), 'telephone2' =&gt; array ( 'maxLength11'=&gt;array ( 'rule'=&gt;array('maxLength', 11), 'message'=&gt;'Exceeds phone number length' ), 'mustBeNumber'=&gt;array( 'rule' =&gt; 'numeric', 'message' =&gt; 'Must be a number' ) ), 'email' =&gt; array ( 'rule' =&gt; array('email', true), 'message' =&gt; 'Please supply a valid email address.' ), 'domain' =&gt; array ( 'rule' =&gt; 'url', 'message' =&gt; 'Please supply a valid email address.' ) ); } </code></pre> <p>View (html removed for simplicity):</p> <pre><code>echo $this-&gt;form-&gt;create(); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('businessName', array('label' =&gt; 'Business Name')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('address1', array('label' =&gt; 'Address')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('address2', array('label' =&gt; '')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('address3', array('label' =&gt; '')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('postCode', array('label' =&gt; 'Postcode')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('telephone1', array('label' =&gt; 'Landline')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('telephone2', array('label' =&gt; 'Mobile')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('email', array('label' =&gt; 'Email')); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;input('domain', array('label' =&gt; 'Domain')); $options = array( 'label' =&gt; 'Add', 'div' =&gt; array( 'class' =&gt; 'btn btn-primary', ) ); echo $this-&gt;Form-&gt;end($options); </code></pre> <p>Add action in controller:</p> <pre><code>public function add() { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')) { $this-&gt;Client-&gt;create(); if ($this-&gt;Client-&gt;save($this-&gt;request-&gt;data)) { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash('Client has been saved.'); $this-&gt;redirect(array('action' =&gt; 'index')); } else { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash('Unable to add your post.'); } } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks once again for any help.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
