Use form_validation on data sets - El Forum - 09-24-2009
[eluser]MaartenW[/eluser]
I'm working on a website where a moderator makes user accounts by entering user info.
This info might not be complete.
When a user logs in, the system validates the known user data and depending on the outcome sends him/her to a profile-completion form.
Is it possible to use the Form Validation class for this?
I'd love to use something like
Code:
form_validation->run('user/profile', $userData);Any tips?
Thanks,
Maarten

If your validation rules are in a config file, you can populate $_POST and then call $this->form_validation->run('profile').
Like many things, you may want to have a wrapper class around the implementation...

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, thought about that but I might find myself in a situation where I want to validate both the original dataset AND the posted dataset.
Could write a wrapper class that holds the original posted data while checking the set though. Hm, not a very elegant approach but it might work!
Thanks,
