Hello! I am a Japanese programmer and I hope you read my English.

I use bake command and make car photo stock system. And I would like to make these validation of image file. The variable name is “car\_photo\_name” And I hope to use a parameter:size and type.

If I don’t use cakePHP, I coded below:  
if ($car\_photo\_name\_type == ‘image/jpeg’){-----}  
if ($car\_photo\_name\_size \< 0){------}

I hope to know on function validationDefault, how I code above ‘if’ statement.  
If you know that, would you please reply?  
Thank you!

there is set of available rules you can use in validation:

what you need are:

Thank you for your reply!

I added ‘use Cake\Validation\Validation;’ and the functions are now moving collectly.

I thank you a lot!
