compare operator default behavior
by default,
array('password', 'compare', 'on'=>'register')compare with password_repeat. If you do not explicitly state what to compare. It will compare with comparedfield_repeat
CFilterValidator?
The example at the bottom is great but what we really need is a sample of each validator. Currently I am searching how exactly to use CFilterValidator
compare operator against avalue
Suppose you have a situation where you need to compare against a certain value. The most obvious case is yes/no situation.
You could use compare operator like this;
array('field_prop', 'compare', 'compareValue'=>'Y', 'message'=>'Your only choice is YES'),Assuming that you have yes/no drop down and Y/N as values
File rule safe attribute
Hallo,
I found out that I have to set the safe rule attribute to true for the file rule.

Here is where it is said that its default is FALSE:
CFileValidator#safe-detail
