Validating a scenario in 2 ways? [SOLVED]

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Hello. I wonder what is the difference if we validate a model in follow two ways:


$model = new User('scenarioName');

//and then....

$model->validate()

or the second manner:


$model = new User();

//and then....

$model->validate('scenarioName');

What are the differences?

Thanks.

I hope I don’t answer any stupid question.

Your second example is wrong. validate() expects attributes, not a scenario.

Then this example is wrong?

It’s correct as of 1.0.x

The syntax was changed in 1.1
