Re: preg_match Warning on Email

instead of explode I would use Cake's String method:

$emails = String::tokenize($emails[0]);

Now I assume you are taking input as comma separated multiple emails. If yes
use code like.

In Model

"email" => array(
'mustNotEmpty'=>array(
    'rule' => 'notEmpty',
    'message'=> 'Please enter to email(s)',
    'last'=>true),
'mustBeEmail'=> array(
    'rule' => 'validateEmails',
    'message'=> '',
    'last' => true)),

and put following function in same model

public function validateEmails($check) {
    $emails = array_values($check);
    $key = array_keys($check);
    $emails = explode(',', $emails[0]);
    foreach($emails as $email) {
        $email = trim($email);
        if(!empty($email)) {
            $valid = Validation::email($email);
            if(!$valid) {
                $this->validationErrors[$key[0]][0]= 'You have an error near '.$email;
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}


nothing to do in controller. only call validation method from controller.

good luck

thank you for your reply chetan,... 

I'm steel getting an error: 

Warning (2): preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash [APP/controllers/invitations_controller.php, line 83]

this is my invitations model: 

    var $validate = array(

     'user_id' => array(

      'rule' => 'notEmpty',

      'message' => 'user must be valid',

     ),

'email'=> array(

                    'mustNotEmpty'=>array(

                        'rule' => 'notEmpty',

                        'message'=> 'Please enter email',

                        'last'=>true),

                    'mustBeEmail'=> array(

                        'rule' => array('email'),

                        'message' => 'Please enter valid email',

                        'last'=>true)                  

                    ),

 );

and this is what I have in a invitations controller: 

        $emails = array();

        

        if(!empty($this->data['Invitation']['emails']))

        {

          $raw_emails = explode(',', $this->data['Invitation']['emails']);

          foreach($raw_emails as $email)

          {

            $email = trim($email);

            if(preg_match('VALID_EMAIL', $email)) // This is where I'm getting an error... 

              $emails[] = $email;

          }

debug($email);

I placed the debug in,... and I'm reading test email in the view,... but steel getting an error

For email validation you should use-

'email'=> array(
                    'mustNotEmpty'=>array(
                        'rule' => 'notEmpty',
                        'message'=> __('Please enter email'),
                        'last'=>true),
                    'mustBeEmail'=> array(
                        'rule' => array('email'),
                        'message' => __('Please enter valid email'),
                        'last'=>true)                 
                    ),

and for deep checking

'email'=> array(
                    'mustNotEmpty'=>array(
                        'rule' => 'notEmpty',
                        'message'=> __('Please enter email'),
                        'last'=>true),
                    'mustBeEmail'=> array(
                        'rule' => array('email', true),
                        'message' => __('Please enter valid email'),
                        'last'=>true)                 
                    ),
