Hmm, got a problem! I have a select with a few hundred items in it (List of business schools with Multi select), however if the user picks a lot, then the form never seems to validate. Although it could be me using it wrong!

Code:
$this->form

 ->select('busschool',$schoolarray,'Business schools', $this->input->post('busschool'),"","multiple=TRUE");

$this->data["form"] = $this->form->get();

$this->data["error"] = $this->form->errors;

if ($this->form->valid)

{

 // perform a search using the busschool data selection

}

I know this is not the conventional way to use the form, but it allows me to keep the form and show the results on the same page (And I collapse the search at the top for editing).

So how comes this works perfectly... till you pick a LOT of schools?

Any clues welcome!

Actually I don't think this is form generator related - I've even added a debug to the input.php class file at start and even there I have less than 200 items from my select list?!

Hi all,
I use Ubuntu and I upgraded to 10.04 today php version also upgraded to 5.3.2 and I get split error
on line 891 and 896
I changed split to explode is it right to change split with explode ?

Quote:split() PHP 5.3.0, the regex extension is deprecated in favor of the PCRE extension. Calling this function will issue an E_DEPRECATED notice.

I use a naming convention that has been working great with the ->text() method, but I just found a problem when I try to apply the same naming convention to the ->checkbox() method

for example, my naming convention is like this

Code:
->text('name|nameID', 'Company', 'trim',  $this->input->post('name') )

but this code

Code:
->checkbox('customer_type|customer_typeID', $this->input->post('customer_type'), 'person' )

is giving me this error:

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given

Filename: libraries/Form.php

Line Number: 1676

It seems like the problem is when the checkbox name is the same as the variable name of the posted value. In this example 'customer_type'.

If I change the name of the post variable or if I change the name checkbox, then it works without the error.

why you using $this->input->post('customer_type') you dont have to use this.
formlib can remember the form values when its posted.

I do it to pre-load the form with database data, upon request to edit a customer record. Yes I know the formlib saves the data after submit, but I need data pre-filled before submit

I do update like this...
the $groups looks like

Code:
$groups = array ( 1 => 'Admin', 2 => 'Moderator' );

Code:
function edit_user() {

        $id = $this->uri->segment(2);

        $groups = $this->group_model->get_groups();

        $sql = $this->db->where('user_id', $id)->get('users');

        $sql = $sql->row();

        $this->form->open('admin/products/products_edit/'.$id)

                ->fieldset('Edit User Data')

                ->select('user_group', $groups, 'User Groups', $sql->group_id, 'trim|required|callback__group_check')

                ->text('user_name', 'User Name', 'trim|max_length[150]', $sql->user_name)

                ->hidden('user_id', $id)

                ->indent('210')

                ->submit('Save');

        $this->form->validate();

        if ($this->form->valid) {

            $data = $this->form->get_post();

            if ( $this->users->save($data, $id) ) {

                echo "user updated";

            }

        }

    } // end edit_user

In your code
Change this
->checkbox('customer_type|customer_typeID', $this->input->post('customer_type'), 'person')
to
->checkbox('customer_type|customer_typeID', 'yes', 'Person', $this->input->post('customer_type'), 'trim|xss_clean')
