Validates a single attribute.

$model
(yii\base\Model (opens new window)) – The data model to be validated$attribute
(string (opens new window)) – The name of the attribute to be validated.

$value
(mixed
) – The data value to be validated.
Returns
array (opens new window), null (opens new window) – The error message and the array of parameters to be inserted into the error message.
