Validate Across Columns - tradeJmark - 04-09-2017

Hi, all,
Is there any way to use the Validate class to verify if a combination of values is unique across multiple columns? I mean, in the same way that composite primary keys need to be unique. Or, will I have to do that a different way?
Thanks for the help,
Tim Meredith

The validate class won't do that by itself, so basically you'll have to run a query like

Code:
$checkQ = $db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE
.... //fill in your conditions here

Code:
$checkC = $checkQ->count();
//get a count of the results

Code:
if($checkC < 1) {
//No results found, therefore it is unique)
//do something
Code:
}
