Hi All,
I have a tipical search form where I have two fields, I would like to validate that the user fills one of them atleast, but not necessarily both.
I have checked the wiki and tried several things but not worked. Of course, CRequiredValidator validates both fields, any idea?
Thanks!
Declare a custom validator method. Set the rule for one field to call the validator method and declare the second field safe.
Something like this:
In your model:
public function rules() {
return array(
array('field1', 'myValidator'),
array('field2', 'safe'));
}
public function myValidator($attribute,$params) {
if(strlen($this->field2)==0 && strlen($this->field1)==0 )
$this->addError('field1', 'You must enter either field1 or field2');
}
You made my day! Thanks!
