CakePHP - radio button not showing error message

I'm unable to get the error message to show up when creating a radio form using the CakePHP form helper.

This is what I have now.

     $options开发者_开发百科=array('active'=>'Active','inactive'=>'Inactive');
     echo $form->input('Status', array(
  'type' => 'radio',
  'id' => 'EntryStatus',
  'name' => 'data[Entry][status]',
  'options' => $options

));

What am I missing?

I'm using CakePHP 1.2.7 and this is what I have in the validation

'status' => array(
    'notempty' => array(
         'rule' => 'notempty',
         'required' => true,
         'message' => 'yo'
         )
    )

Tried the answer from Form helper for creating Radio button in Cakephp and it's giving me a select option form instead.

Thanks,

Tee

had same problem, and i fount this, and it works:

http://book.cakephp.org/view/204/Form-Element-Specific-Methods

you need

if ($form->isFieldError('gender')){
    echo $form->error('gender');
}

... in your code. this works in case that your field is named as gender.

I had the same issue and I added:

<?php echo $form->error('currentStatus');?>

below the radio button and it worked fine.

Try taking a look at $form->input('Status' ... (capital 'Status') versus the DB column name (which might or might not be capitalized versus 'name' => 'data[Entry][status]' (not capital 'status').

Cake's form helper is picky about inserting error messages when it can't figure out what things go to what.

Have you tried using the explicit $form->radio() method instead of the general input() method?

---

You need to manually add in an error form helper.

echo $form->error('status');

---

You need to add error condition in case of radio button

<?php 
    $options=array('active'=>'Active','inactive'=>'Inactive');
    echo $form->input('Status', array(
      'type' => 'radio',
      'id' => 'EntryStatus',
      'options' => $options
    )
    );
    if ($form->isFieldError('Status')){
        echo $form->error('Status');
    }
    ?>
