CakePHP - validation returning false - php

Question

validates() getting failed, but the validationErrors is empty in CakePHP 2.x, even I have user unlockedActions for this method but still getting this error, while inserting its working fine. Only edit is not working.
This my controller code:
if (!empty($this->data['UserProfileName']['new']['new_profile_id'])){
// $this->data['UserProfileName']['old_profile_id'] = $this->data['UserProfileName']['profile_id'];
$new_data['UserProfileName']['profile_id'] = $this->data['UserProfileName']['new']['new_profile_id'];
$new_data['UserProfileName']['user_profile_id']=$userProfileId;
$this->UserProfileName->create();
$this->UserProfileName->set($new_data);
}
$this->UserProfileContact->set($this->data);
if ($this->UserProfileName->validates() && $this->UserProfileContact->validates()) {
} else {
$errors = $this->UserProfileName->validationErrors;
$errors = $this->UserProfileContact->validationErrors;
pr($this->UserProfile->validationErrors);
pr($errors);
}
The form input $this->data is:

)`
It always goes to else part, but when I print the error array it's empty.

Answer 1

Try this and modify according your requirement.
if(!empty($this->data))
{
$this->User->set( $this->data['User'] );
$this->Contractor->set( $this->data['Contractor'] );
if ($this->User->validates() && $this->Contractor->validates())
{
$this->data['User']['passwd'] = $this->Auth->password($this->data['User']['new_passwd']);
$this->data['User']['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$user = $this->data['User'];
$contractor = $this->data['Contractor'];
//pr($this->data);die;
if( $this->User->save( $user ) )
{
$newId = $this->User->getLastInsertId();
$contractor['user_id'] = $newId;
if($this->Contractor->save($contractor))
{
$this->redirect('/contractors/index') ;
}
}
}else{
$this->validateErrors($this->User);
$this->validateErrors($this->Contractor);
$this->render();
}
}

Answer 2

I have solved the issue by change the validation rule
in validation rule i've used
'required' => 'create',
and changed to
'on' => 'create',
now its working.
