How do you perform Form validation without a model in Cakephp?

Question

I need to perform some validation. I don\'t have the model in the application.

Does anyone know how to do the validation without a model? Can you show me using a small s

Answer 1

I think my first question would be this: if you don't have a model...what are you validating? Typically data collection would be done to populate a model. If you're using an alternative data repository (file, web services, etc.), a model would still be the appropriate way to access and manipulate that data.

In short, in order to better answer this, I think a little more context would be helpful and maybe even necessary.
