Re: How to validate if associated Model exists when saving

In my opinion, that should be caught by the database, so CakePHP just need to catch that and inform you back.

Is that actually implemented in CakePHP?

Which version of CakePHP are you running?

Enjoy, John

Suppose I have an 'Order' model associated with the 'Customer' model.

class Order {     var $belongsTo = array('Customer');  }

Is there a standard way in CakePHP to validate if the record pointed to by the customer_id field exists?

$this->Order->create();  $this->Order->set('customer_id', 1);  $this->Order->set('order_date', date('Y-m-d'));  $this->Order->set('total', 100);  $this->Order->save();

Is there a validation rule that can be applied to the customer_id field of the Order model? Or, do I have to define a custom rule?
