Re: Conditional validation rule1 OR rule2

Hello Cricket,

I got this error message:

Error: Call to undefined method ModelValidator::url()

Please advise

You'll need to create your own validation method.

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.
