how to validate amount in cakephp,
validation rule: should not accept empty space, should not alpha numeric, should not accept special character except dot(.),
example:
should accept below values
12 12.0 12.00 133
should not accept below values
123_33/#$#%#$%# a1a1455 asd fadsfads
actual thing is, this field for payment gateway, so before sending amount to payment gateway, we should make sure, we are sending decimal or full integer.

You will have to do the following
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/data-validation.html#Validation::money
//2.0
var $validate = array(
'salary' => array(
'rule' => array('money', 'left'),
'message' => 'Please supply a valid monetary amount.'
)
);
If you are using 1.3 try
http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Common-Tasks-With-CakePHP/Data-Validation.html#money
If can also try decimal http://book.cakephp.org/1.3/en/The-Manual/Common-Tasks-With-CakePHP/Data-Validation.html#decimal
//2.0
public $validate = array(
'price' => array(
'rule' => array('decimal', 2)
)
);
Also consider Numeric http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/models/data-validation.html#Validation::numeric
Try this:
var $validate = array(
'amount' => array(
'rule' => array('decimal', 2)
)
);
Hope it helps
