Put the input needed in cakephp

Question

I have a form in cakephp that has some inputs that are for confirmation only, these fields are not fields that belong to the table database. Like this:

Password confirmation field, this field is not in the database, it is just a check of some logical things. How can I make this field mandatory (notEmpty rule)? Is it right to create this “check” on the model, even if this field does not apply to the table of this model?

Answer 1

Yes, you can check fields that are not in the database - as usual. It just doesn’t save anything in the database (of course).
