To validate two forms in CakePHP, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create the two forms in your CakePHP application.
  2. In your controller, create two validation rules for each form. You can do this by creating an array called $this->validate in the respective action method.


For example:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
public function form1()
{
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        $this->validate = [
            'field1' => 'notEmpty',
            'field2' => 'numeric'
        ];

        if ($this->ModelName->validate($this->request->getData(), $this->validate)) {
            // Process the form data
        }
    }
}


  1. Repeat the above step for the second form with its own validation rules.

public function form2()
{
    if ($this->request->is('post')) {
        $this->validate = [
            'field3' => 'notEmpty',
            'field4' => 'alphaNumeric'
        ];

        if ($this->ModelName->validate($this->request->getData(), $this->validate)) {
            // Process the form data
        }
    }
}


  1. In your view templates, make sure you have the appropriate form elements with the correct names and attributes.
  2. Add the necessary form tags and submit buttons to your view templates.
  3. Now, when you submit each form, the respective validation rules will be applied and the form data will only be processed if the validation passes.


By following these steps, you will be able to validate two forms in your CakePHP application.
