Yii2. Cannot combine different validation rules together

[['captcha'], 'captcha', 'required'],

If I do this, it says:

Setting unknown property: yii\captcha\CaptchaValidator::0

But it works fine if I do following:

['captcha', 'captcha'],
['captcha', 'required'],

What do you think the problem is? Why can't I combine the rules?

Because in Yii, rules are represented as an array like this: 

['field1', 'validator1', 'valProp1'=>'valProp1Value', 'valProp2'=>'valProp2Value', ...]

so this array applies only to 1 validator but multiple fields and valProp1, valProp2 are inbuilt Validator Class properties. Some example would be:

['field1', 'email','skipOnEmpty'=>true]

which setups yii\validators\EmailValidator on a field1 field and setups skipOnEmpty property of email validator to true

In order to combine rules, you need to to write in format where every rule is separate per validator, something like this:

['captcha','captcha'],
['captcha','required']
