CakePHP : Validation message not displaying

Question

I\'m new to cakePHP and I\'ve made a simple form following some tutorial. On this html form I\'ve used validation. Now the problem is that the validation is working but the mess

Answer 1

Your Form-create() options are invalid, first argument is the model-name, second is for options:

Add New Post
Form->create('Post', array('action'=>'add'));
     echo $this->Form->input('title');
     echo $this->Form->input('body');
     echo $this->Form->end('Create Post');
?>

If the form-helper does not know which 'model' it is creating a form for, I won't check for field validation in the right place, hence, it won't output the validation errors for 'title'

[update] solution above didn't solve the problem. OP has modified the question

Some ideas:

1. Be sure to enable 'debug' (App/Config/core.php set Configure::write('debug', 2); Otherwise CakePHP may be using a 'cached' version of your model.

2. If you've named your Model incorrectly, Cake may be automatically generating a model for you, in which case your own model is never actually used, try this for debugging to see if we even 'get' to your model:

Add this to your model;

public function beforeValidate($options = array())
{
     debug($this->data); exit();
}
