Form Validation with Array for fieldname - El Forum - 04-05-2011

According to this, my form and validation should work
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html#arraysasfields
My form has form objects such as :
Code:
<input type="text" size="50" class="text" name="setting[client_name]" value="">And my validate function includes :
Code:
$rules['setting[client_name]'] = "required";
$fields['setting[client_name]'] = 'Business Name';But it errors even when a valid value exists in the post. How can I troubleshoot to insure that the fieldname being posted matches the fieldname being set in the validation rules/fields?

Hi,
As far as i know you can't define validation rules that match the value of the field to a given string using the validation library included in CI. You could use a simple if statement or modify the validation class / create your own class.

sorry that makes no sense to me. I've been using CI for years now w/o issue. not sure why the validation config is not matching up to post values
