Help with callback functions and form validation - El Forum - 01-18-2010
[eluser]sdotsen[/eluser]
Code works but the username fields ignore all the other rule sets.
If I leave the field empty, it doesn't complain that the field is required.
If I input a username that exists, the function does work and will tell me that the username is already taken.
Code:
function register() {
$this->load->library('validation');
$fields['username'] = "trim|required|callback_username_check";
etc ...
etc ...
$this->validation->set_rules($fields);
if ($this->validation->run()) {
$records = array();
$records['username'] = $this->validation->username;
etc ...
etc ...
$data = $this->account_model->registerNewAccount($records);
}
$this->load->view('register_view');
}
function username_check($username) {
$m = new Mongo();
$collection = $m->selectDB( DBNAME )->selectCollection( TABLE );
$data = $collection->count(array("username" => $username) );
if($data == 1) {
$this->validation->set_message('username_check', '%s is already taken!');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}

FYI:
Validation has been replaced with:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html
But they also specify that the fiels are wrapped in an additional array:
Code:
$config = array(
array(
'field' => 'username',
'label' => 'Username',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'password',
'label' => 'Password',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'passconf',
'label' => 'Password Confirmation',
'rules' => 'required'
),
array(
'field' => 'email',
'label' => 'Email',
'rules' => 'required'
)
);
$this->form_validation->set_rules($config);Help with callback functions and form validation - El Forum - 01-18-2010

Ugh ... I thought I read somewhere that form_validation was the old one. Damnit! Ok thanks for the heads up.

Don't worry, i keep getting confused as to which one is depreciated. Google returns the depreciated one first when you search for "Form Validation CodeIgniter".

Yea, when I search on google that's what keeps coming up. Of course at the top of the wiki page, it does say to use the new "form_validation" library! haha, thats what I get for not reading.
BTW, seems like form_validation fixed my issue. Thanks a bunch!
