Suppose we want to create a dependent input validation rule in Yii model for dependent 2 input fields. Field one is status and field two is reason. If user select a status from dropdown list then they must be fill-up reason field. If not then it will show an error message.
In model rules-
public function rules() { return array( array(...), array(...), array('status', 'reasonValidators'), ); }
And validation function-
public function reasonValidators() { if ((int)$this->status=="Yes") { $labels = $this->attributeLabels(); // Getting labels of the attributes if($this->reason=="") { $this->addError("reason", $labels["reason"]." cannot be blank."); } // More dependent on type can be written here } }
