After a very long development time of more than 2 years CakePHP 1.2 has been released today/yesterday (see the announcement).
Since RC4 a small new feature has been added: it is now possible to specify whether the validation of an URL should be strict (“strict” meaning the protocol must be provided, i.e. “http://example.com” is valid whereas “example.com” is invalid). If you want to use the strict URL validation, you have to use in your model something like:
public $validate = array('website' => array('rule' => array('url', true)));
For people currently using Cake 1.1 and considering to upgrade to 1.2 I recommend to have a look at Migrating from CakePHP 1.1 to 1.2. And to budget enough time for the migration itself because so many things changed…
Happy baking!
This is a nice feature, it’s a royal pain to “autolink” those URLs later.. Strict validation kicks ass!
@Hannibal: Yes, it is a nice feature. Up to now you had to write your own validation rule if you wanted strict validation.
I want to build 1 controller running (5 minutes to run 1 times).
Examples: 5 minutes I will write log files 1 times and backup
database.
Controller will run without calling anyone.
So I have to write how.
Thanks
@tung: I’m not sure I understand you correctly, but if you want to execute, for example, some functionality every 5 minutes, you could write a cake shell script, which is then called by a cron job. See also the article Writing a custom CakePHP console script.
Hope that helps!
