Re: Conditional validation rule1 OR rule2

You'll need to create your own validation method.
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/data-validation.html#custom-validation-rules

Personally, I'd create columns for both url and email in the table,
then set up a custom rule to check that either one is there, and that
whichever one is there is correct. Something like this:

public $validate = array(
'email' => array(
'rule' => array('emailOrUrl', 'url'),
'message' => 'Please supply a valid URL or email address'
),
'url' => array(
'rule' => array('emailOrUrl', 'email'),
'message' => 'Please supply a valid URL or email address'
)
);


function emailOrUrl($field = array(), $other_field = null)
{
$key = key($field);

/* If this is empty, the other shouldn't be
*/
if (empty($field[$key]) && empty($this->data[$this-alias][$other_field]))
{
return false;
}

switch ($key)
{
case 'email':
return $this->validator()->email($field[[$key]);

case 'url':
return $this->validator()->url($field[[$key]);

default:
return false;
}
}

Check the API for other params you can pass to these two methods.
