Hi ,  
In my user register form I am using cakephp model validation. The validation  
is working perfectly. Unfortunately the validation error messages are  
not displaying on my form. Would you please help me on this?

The code I am using is as follows. Please advise me what I am missing here.

## Model:
\<?php namespace App\Model\Table; use Cake\ORM\Table; use Cake\Validation\Validator; class UsersTable extends Table { public function initialize(array $config) { $this-\>table('tp\_users'); $this-\>primaryKey('user\_id'); } public function validationDefault(Validator $validator) { $validator = new Validator(); $validator -\>notEmpty('username', 'A username is required') -\>add('username', 'unique', ['rule' =\> 'validateUnique', 'provider' =\> 'table', 'message' =\> 'Not unique']) -\>notEmpty('email', 'A email is required') -\>add('email', 'validFormat', ['rule' =\> 'email', 'message' =\> 'E-mail must be valid']) -\>add('email', 'unique', ['rule' =\> 'validateUnique', 'provider' =\> 'table', 'message' =\> 'Not unique']) -\>notEmpty('password', 'A password is required') -\>lengthBetween('password', [6, 8]) -\>add('profile\_image', 'file', ['rule' =\> ['mimeType', ['image/jpeg', 'image/jpg', 'image/png']], 'message' =\> 'Only jpeg, jpg, and png image extension are allowed to upload..', ]); /\* $errors = $validator-\>errors($this-\>request-\>data()); if (!empty($errors)) { // Send an email. } \*/ return $validator; } } Controller: -------------------------------------------- public function add($role = null) { $this-\>viewBuilder()-\>layout('customer\_register'); // New in 3.1 $this-\>set(compact('role')); $user = $this-\>Users-\>newEntity($this-\>request-\>data); if ($this-\>request-\>is('post')) { //echo print\_r($this-\>request-\>data); //die; if ($this-\>request-\>data['password'] == $this-\>request-\>data['conpassword']) { /\* echo $this-\>request-\>data['password']; echo $this-\>request-\>data['conpassword']; die; \*/ //$user = $this-\>Users-\>patchEntity($user, $this-\>request-\>data); if ($this-\>Users-\>save($user)) { $this-\>Flash-\>success(\_\_('The user has been saved.')); return $this-\>redirect(['action' =\> 'index']); } else { $this-\>Flash-\>error(\_\_('Unable to add the user.')); return $this-\>redirect(['action' =\> 'add', $role]); } } else { /\* echo $this-\>request-\>data['password']; echo $this-\>request-\>data['conpassword']; die; \*/ $this-\>Flash-\>error(\_\_('Password and Confirm Password Mis Match')); return $this-\>redirect(['action' =\> 'add', $role]); } } $this-\>set('user', $user); } View: ---------------------------------------------
