how can i validate a contact form? i have a model Contact - but no Database so i just put in the model var $useTable = false; but with the above code, it always shows validation errors - no matter if i typed something in or not in the contact form: model Contact:

	var $validate = array(
		'name' => array(
    		'empty' => array(
                  'allowEmpty' => false,
                  'required' => true,
                  'message' => 'Please insert your name',
                  )
               ),
		'email' => array(
        	'required' => array(
                  'required' => true,
                  'message' => 'Please insert your email',
                  )
               ),
		'title' => array(
        	'alphanumeric' => array(
                  'allowEmpty' => false,
                  'message' => 'Please insert title',
                  )
               )			               
	);

Controller Contact:

	var $name = 'Contact';
	var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
	var $components = array('Email');
	
	function index() {
		
		if (!empty($this->data))
        {
        	$this->Contact->set($this->data); 
			if ($this->Contact->validates())
			{
				echo 'done';
			}

View Index


Contact me:

create('Contact',array('controller'=>'contact','action'=>'index'));?>
	
 		
	input('name');
		echo $form->input('email');
		echo $form->input('title');
		echo $form->input('message',array('type'=>'textfield'));
		echo $form->input('attachments');
	?>
	
end('Submit');?>

Geoff, thanks!

This saved me from giving cake the boot. Tired of the deprecated stuff and lack of docs.

Direct manipulation of the Model’s $data property is not recommended. Use the set() method.
