Re: Why is the Validation Filters Array Processed Backwards and Returns Conservatively?

Actually, I don't think it does!

I was always under the impression it (CakePHP 1.2) runs through the
$validate array in it's natural order and falls out at the first fail.

ie.

var $validate = array(
"name"=>array(
"required"=>array(
"rule"=>array("minLength, 1),
"message"=>"is required",
"required"=>true
),
"unique"=>array(
"rule"=>"isUnique",
"message"=>"must be unique"
)
)
);

The unique rule won't be tested if the required rule fails.

This is certainly my experiance (of CakePHP 1.2).
