Re: how to abort save?

cakephp101,

You don't have to save the records that would put a blank row in your
table.

What validation rules are you using now? You can set some of your
fields as 'notEmpty' or 'required'. You stated you are using saveAll
(); are you aware of the validate option for saveAll()?

For more information on validation see the links I posted earlier.
