new form_validation array question - El Forum - 06-21-2010

[eluser]EugeneS[/eluser]
Hello,

according to the docs i'm using it this way:
inside html form

Code:
&lt;input type="text" name="Order[]" value="1"&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="Order[]" value="2"&gt;

&lt;input type="text" name="Order[]" value="3"&gt;

controller:

Code:
$this->load->library('form_validation');

$this->form_validation->set_rules( 'Order[]', 'Order', 'trim|integer|required');

if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)

{

    print_r($this->form_validation->?????????????????);

}

the questions are:
1) instead of lot of questions above how can i access to the different "Order" fields data separately or may be at once as to array through which i can loop later to access data separately
2) in case of not an array can i still use the way which was previously used (in the old version of the library) like

Code:
$this->validation->FIELD_NAME

to get access to the some validated form field content

cant find these details in documentation

i need access to already validated results but not to the initial data ...

for example if in the rule was "trim" i need access to the trimmed data but not to the initial one.

in old version i was alble to access it ... can i in new one ?

still no answer to this ...

how i can get access to the validated data ?

in previous version of this library i was able to access to the validated data through

Code:
$this->validation->FIELD_NAME

in new version of the library its impossible at least i cant find HOW ?

so lets say in the form field was entered "HELLO WORLD " (pay attention to 4 spaces after the word WORLD)

lets say this field was validated with the rule "required|trim"

as a result spaces should be removed "HELLO WORLD" (spaces removed)

so how can i get access to the validated result WITHOUT SPACES ? why this powerfull feature was removed ? Sad

This was answered in June.

Even ignoring that post, you can pop open form_validation.php, look at the end of the run() method and see:

Code:
// Now we need to re-set the POST data with the new, processed data

$this->_reset_post_array();

Hm...

So, we look at _reset_post_array() and see in the comment just above it:

Code:
/**

     * Re-populate the _POST array with our finalized and processed data

     *

     * @access    private

     * @return    null

     */

So,
