This is done with validators…

First check the documentation about validators - http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/form.model#declaring-validation-rules

For your solution you would need a custom validator… search the forum there are many topics about that…

one is this - http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12802-

Finished with the custom validator

Thanks mdomba… U guidelines were just perfect

so that other users can see the solution… and if they have same/similar problem they can benefit from it…
