Property Details

allowEmpty property
public boolean $allowEmpty;

whether the attribute value can be null or empty. Defaults to true, meaning that if the attribute is empty, it is considered valid.

attributeName property (available since v1.0.8)
public string $attributeName;

the ActiveRecord class attribute name that should be used to look for the attribute value being validated. Defaults to null, meaning using the name of the attribute being validated.

See Also

caseSensitive property
public boolean $caseSensitive;

whether the comparison is case sensitive. Defaults to true. Note, by setting it to false, you are assuming the attribute type is string.

className property (available since v1.0.8)
public string $className;

the ActiveRecord class name that should be used to look for the attribute value being validated. Defaults to null, meaning using the class of the object currently being validated. You may use path alias to reference a class name here.

See Also

criteria property (available since v1.0.8)
public array $criteria;

additional query criteria. This will be combined with the condition that checks if the attribute value exists in the corresponding table column. This array will be used to instantiate a CDbCriteria object.

protected void validateAttribute(CModel $object, string $attribute)
$object CModel the object being validated
$attribute string the attribute being validated
