how to make confirm password validation cakephp with hashing it - php

Question

I'm using cakephp 2.xx, I want to hashing password with sha256 before it going to database,
before it I wanna make validation value password in my form input, validation which check password input and re-confirm password is match, if In my controller, when form catch validation, the password automatically hash
if ($this->request->data['Driver']['password'] != $this->request->data['Driver']['confirm_password']) {
$this->request->data['Driver']['password'] = hash('sha256',$this->request->data['Driver']['password']);
}
necessarily, the password hash when form no catch validate at all, so how can I make validation in my model ?
Thanks In Advance.

Answer 1

In your model (Driver.php)
Validation
<?php
public $validate = array(
'password' => array(
'notempty' => array(
'rule' => array('notempty'),
),
'password_confirm'=>array(
'rule'=>array('password_confirm'),
'message'=>'Password Confirmation must match Password',
),
),
);
?>
Custom validation rule
<?php
public function password_confirm(){
if ($this->data['Driver']['password'] !== $this->data['Driver']['password_confirmation']){
return false;
}
return true;
}
?>
Hashing,but I think that better to choose AuthComponent
<?php
public function beforeSave($options = array()) {
$this->data['Driver']['password'] = hash('sha256',$this->data['Driver']['password']);
return true;
}
?>
It's overall description and you probably would need to modify some parts of it
