Proposal: Form_validation request method support - El Forum - 03-29-2011
[eluser]oliverkalen[/eluser]
I use the form validation library quite often, and have extended it on several occasions without much trouble. I am currently working on an API server that implements REST. It would be nice to see the following methods added to the form validation library:
Code:
$this->form_validation->set_method('get'); // delete, etc.The method would still default to post.
Secondly, override the standard request method input entirely when dealing with more complex input:
Code:
$input = array(
'item1' => $this->input->get('item1'),
'item2' => $this->_some_other_source(),
);
$this->form_validation->set_input($input);I would be happy to implement the changes and forward them along to a Reactor developer. I am curious to here other thoughts and suggestions.

I have attached the proposed change from the most recent Reactor commit. In addition, I have added a result() function to my original proposal:
Code:
$this->form_validation->result();Returns the resulting data after the validation has been run (to accommodated functions that will manipulate the final result) - primarily used when the input is overridden.
I welcome any feedback.
