Validation approaches for CakePHP

Yesterday, Myles Eftos has published another tutorial about validating data with CakePHP. What is special on his approach is that it allows client-side validation with Javascript.

With this tutorial there are in total four different approaches described for doing data validation with CakePHP:

• The official approach described in the manual
• Complex Model Validation Routines
• Advanced validation
• Alternate Advanced Validation

Which one you use is up to you and your requirements ;-)
