Hi, I am new to Yii. I’m doing some tasks with the help of yii wiki and documentations. Now I have completed a form for employee details updation with validation. But I dont know where this validation process is actually going on.Even though I can see the script for validation. And how can I customize the error messages? Can anyone help me to catch this??

If I understand you, validation happens in rules() funtion in the model:




public function rules()

    {

        // NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that

        // will receive user inputs.

        return array(

                    array('FieldName', 'required'),

                    array('FieldName', 'unique'),   

                    // The following rule is used by search().

                    // Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.

                    array('FieldName', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),

        );

    }

You can set this function adding more validation rules.

If you mean with errors which appear if there are any empty field, I think you must change core messages.

Change Core Messages.
