Hi @haithamedrees23,

You have to define the rules.
Validation returns false because the rules are empty.

@softark thanks for your answer

but even if i defined a rules still there is a problem

for example if i defined some attributes as ‘safe’ then on submit the inputs are reuired
also if i try to print something in the rules function of the model or rules function of the CModel class , its not printed , meaning that the rules function is not called

Remove everything you added to the rules function(s), not approved by the docs, and try again. Not executable code.

@tri , sorry but i didn’t get what you mean

there are no rules in the rules function (the array is empty)

Just the array, that’s my point.

Edit:
Never mind, as long as you return the array it should work.
I just checked that no fields are required if the array is left empty in an old 1.1 Contact form.

More info:
https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CModel#validate-detail
If you use beforeValidate(), remember to return true.

Still no explanation why you get fields required without rules.

Is an empty array OK for “rules”? I didn’t know that.

@haithamedrees23 anyway, there’s too few information to tell what is wrong. Could you post the relevant code?
