Re: validate select field in a Model

hi jsundquist,... 
in fact I'm getting an 2 empty spots on top with no options empty,... what if the new user who's trying to signup accidentally deselect it ? ,... and there we need the red wrapping warning with message,...  'message' => 'Gender must be valid',... anyway,... for now I'm validating from a controller but will be nice to do it from Model,... 

    elseif(empty($this->data['User']['gender']))
    {
          $this->flash('error', ucfirst(i18n::translate('you must enter valid Gender')));
              $this->redirect($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
    }

thanks man,...

A select dropdown will never be empty unless one of the options is an empty string.

hi guys,... I'm using cake 1.3 
how can I validate "select" field from Model,....? 

what I have in bootstrap: 
 Configure::write('User.genders', array('unknown', 'male', 'female'));

in a view: 
     <tr>
        <td><strong><?php echo ucfirst(__('gender', true)) ?></strong>
<?php 
$genders = array(Configure::read('User.genders')); 
echo $this->Form->select('gender', $genders) 
?>
</td>
     </tr>

and in a Model: 
  var $validate = array(
     'gender' => array(
      'rule' => 'notEmpty',
      'required' => true,
      'message' => 'Gender must be valid',
     ),
  );

I'm not getting warning of red box with "Gender must be valid" 

how can I do this....? 

thanks in advance 
chris
