Hi Everyone,
I am tinkering on a long term project, and have updated from CI v3.1.9 to v3.1.10.
With v3.1.9, the Form Validation with a callback set in an array returned any processed data set against that $_POSTed value. That is, the following rule when processed, returned $data set by the function _user_sign_in_check(), when I had a conditional statement equating to be TRUE. The returned $data was assigned to the $_POSTed 'email_address' variable.
PHP Code:
$this->form_validation->set_rules(
'email_address',
'Email Address',
array(
'trim',
'required',
'valid_email',
array(
'email_address',
array( $this->users_mdl, '_user_sign_in_check' )
)
),
array(
'required' => 'You have not provided an <b>%s</b>.',
'valid_email' => 'The <b>%s</b> you have entered is not valid!'
)
);
With v3.1.10, the Form Validation now just requires to return TRUE for the same conditional check in the function _user_sign_in_check(). When processing the validation which has returned TRUE, (passed), the $_POSTed 'email_address' now holds the actual $_POSTed email address from the form. If I try to return any processed $data, I have a NULL array.
Has the behavior changed from v3.1.9 to v3.1.10? I did not mind the callback function returning usable data to the form validation.
I can use the $_POSTed 'email_address' on either side - callback function, or form validation being TRUE - to obtain the User's data, but just curious if this was a change with the v3.1.10 release, as the release notes to not state it explicitly.
Ian.
