CakePhp: read View rule message inside controller

Question

I've declared my validation fields of my view in this way:

public $validate = array(
    'myField' => array(
        'alphaNumeric' => array(
            'rule' => 'alphaNumeric',
            'required' => true,
            'message' => 'username required'
        ),
        'unique' => array(
            'rule' => 'isUnique',
            'required' => 'create',
            'message' => 'Username already used'
        )
    )
);

Is there a way to know (inside the relative controller class) when this message is fired? Because if one of these rules is violated, I would like to perform some tasks, and not simply show message to the user.

see & try stackoverflow.com/a/4693494/2460470.

Yes, first set the data to the model in your controller:

$this->ModelName->set($this->request->data);

Then, to check if the data validates, use the validates method of the model, which will return true if it validates and false if it doesn’t:

if ($this->ModelName->validates()) {
    // it validated logic
} else {
   // didn't validate logic
   $errors = $this->ModelName->validationErrors;
}

To know more about validationErrors, go to cakephp Validating Data from the Controller article.
