CRequiredValidator validates that the specified attribute does not have null or empty value.
When using the message property to define a custom error message, the message may contain additional placeholders that will be replaced with the actual content. In addition to the "{attribute}" placeholder, recognized by all validators (see CValidator), CRequiredValidator allows for the following placeholders to be specified:

Property Details
requiredValue property
public mixed $requiredValue;
the desired value that the attribute must have. If this is null, the validator will validate that the specified attribute does not have null or empty value. If this is set as a value that is not null, the validator will validate that the attribute has a value that is the same as this property value. Defaults to null.
strict property
public boolean $strict;
whether the comparison to requiredValue is strict. When this is true, the attribute value and type must both match those of requiredValue. Defaults to false, meaning only the value needs to be matched. This property is only used when requiredValue is not null.
trim property (available since v1.1.14)
public boolean $trim;
whether the value should be trimmed with php trim() function when comparing strings. When set to false, the attribute value is not considered empty when it contains spaces. Defaults to true, meaning the value will be trimmed.
Method Details
clientValidateAttribute() method (available since v1.1.7)
public string clientValidateAttribute(CModel $object, string $attribute) | ||
| $object | CModel | the data object being validated |
| $attribute | string | the name of the attribute to be validated. |
| {return} | string | the client-side validation script. |
