Target:
I want to create a record after I find out that model is valid otherwise get back to model form page with validation errors.

Problem:
validation always returns false. Even all rules are proper. I have tried to make mistake in my rules by adding fields that are not existing still I get no validation errors at all.

Scenario:
Form gets validated fine, fields are validated as they should be. When I hit submit after entering valid input (every field is valid), the values get in $model->attributes get just as they should be. But when it comes to validating that model in my controller, $model->validate() always return false.

Here is my code for workaround:

My View File (_form.php):

   <div class=''>

        <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([

                'options' => [

                    'enctype' => 'multipart/form-data'

                ],

                'id' => 'create-company-form',

                'layout' => 'horizontal',

                'fieldConfig' => [

                    'template' => "{label}{input}{error}",

                    'labelOptions' => ['class' => 'control-label'],

                ],

        ]); ?>



            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'name')->textInput(['autofocus' => true, 'placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Name')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'idcompanytype')->dropDownList(CompanyType::listCompanyTypesDropDown(), ['prompt'=> Yii::t('main', 'Select Company Type')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'datecreation')->textInput(['type'=>'text','format'=>'php:Y-m-d',  'placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Enter Date')]); ?>





            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'phone')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Phone 1')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'phone2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Phone 2')]); ?>



            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'email')->textInput(['type'=>'email', 'placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Email Address')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'email2')->textInput(['type'=>'email', 'placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Email Address 2')]); ?>



            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'link')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Link 1')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'link2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Link 2')]); ?>



            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'identification')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Identification')]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'identification2')->textInput(['placeholder'=> Yii::t('main', 'Identification 2')]); ?>





            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'isdefault')->checkbox([

//              'template' => "<div class="checkbox checkbox-success">{input} {label}</div>n<div class="col-lg-8">{error}</div></div>",

// remove last div and validation gets applied

            ]) ?>



            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'form_image')->fileInput([

                'class'=>'form_image_field',

                'data-allowed_extensions' => Yii::$app->params['allowedImageExtensions'],

                'data-allowed_MimeTypes' => Yii::$app->params['allowedImageMimeTypes'],

                'data-allowed_file_size' => Yii::$app->params['allowedFileSize'],

                'data-upload_url' => Url::toRoute(['document/upload-company-logo']),

            ]); ?>

            <?php echo $form->field($model, 'image')->hiddenInput(['class'=>'form-control file_name_field'])->label(false);?>



            <div class="form-group">

                <div class='col-12 col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-8 offset-md-2 col-lg-6 offset-lg-3 col-xl-4 offset-xl-4'>

                    <?php echo Html::submitButton(Yii::t('main', 'Save'), ['class' => 'btn btn-success waves-effect waves-light m-r-10', 'name' => 'create-button']) ?>

                    <?php echo Html::a(Yii::t('main', 'Cancel'), ['/company'], ['class' => 'btn btn-dark waves-effect waves-light']); ?>

                </div>

            </div>



        <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>

    </div>

My Model Class (rules(), beforeValidate() methods):

    public $idcompany;

    public $name;

    public $idcompanytype;

    public $datecreation;

    public $identification;

    public $identification2;



    public $phone;

    public $phone2;



    public $email;

    public $email2;



    public $link;

    public $link2;



    public $isdefault;



    public $created;

    public $updated;

    public $image;



    public $form_image;







    /**

     * (non-PHPdoc)

     * @see yiibaseModel::rules()

     */

    public function rules()

    {

        return [

            [['name', 'idcompanytype', 'datecreation', 'identification', 'email', 'phone', 'link'], 'required'],

            [['image', 'name', 'link', 'link2', 'identification', 'identification2', 'phone', 'phone2'], 'string', 'max' => 100],

            [['idcompany', 'idcompanytype', 'created', 'updated'], 'integer'],

            [['datecreation1'], 'date', 'format'=>'php:Y-m-d'],

            [['email', 'email2', ], 'email'],

//          [['isdefault'], 'boolean'],



            [['form_image'], 'file', 'skipOnEmpty'=>true, 'extensions' => Yii::$app->params['allowedImageExtensions'], 'mimeTypes' => Yii::$app->params['allowedImageMimeTypes']],

        ];

    }





    public function beforeValidate()

    {

        if(null == $this->idcompany){ // case: record does not exists

            $this->created = time();

        }



        $this->updated = time();

    }

Controller Class - actionCreate():

$model = new Company();



if( $model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())){ // postback callback

    if( $model->validate() ){

        if( Company::create($model) ){

            Yii::$app->session->setFlash('success', Yii::t('main', ConstantHelper::TEXT_CREATE_SUCCESS));

            return $this->redirect(['/company']);

        }

        else{

            // throw exception or whatever

        }

    }

    else{

        echo '<pre>';

        print_r($model['attributes']); //I get all attributes in attributes array but no error at all

        exit;

        return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);

    }

}

else{

    return $this->render('create', ['model' => $model]);

}

I have no idea why I get no validation at all.
Please let me know If I'm missing something.

Note:
I am extending my model with yiibasemodel.

I have no idea why but adding the following line by the closing of beforeValidate() method seems to have fixed this issue for me.

return parent::beforeValidate();

I think the reason might be because I was not returning updated rules for model to process for validations of model data.

Still, no idea. but it helped.
