Partial validation using cakephp

Question

I'm new to cakePHP I want to know if there's a way to validate a form partially as in JavaScript.

Situation:
I have a select box with 2 options - 1. free, 2. paid
When paid is chosen a text input field appears for a price.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You can do custom validation rules. So, your form would validate differently, depending on if it's a paid user or a free one.
