RE: How to dynamically create validation rules

interestingly enough, I actually came across this same need in my application.

From inside the controller, I added this line

$this->MyModel->validate['bid']=array('rule'=>array('range',$this->MyModel->minimum_bid-1,$this->MyModel->maximum_bid+1),'message'=>"Allowed range for bid is {$this->MyModel->minimum_bid} - {$this->MyModel->maximum_bid}");

if ($this->MyModel->save($this->data)) {...}

so the save function still runs the validate and I set the minimum and maximum bid during the beforeFilter

Hope this helps.

I am creating an API for my website and I want to create validation
rules for my various methods based on some rows in my api_arguments
table. How should I go about doing this? Thanks for any help.
