Form Validation (greater_than, less_than) - El Forum - 05-14-2011

In the CI guide:
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/form_validation.html
We have two rules (greater_than, less_than) but they seem to not be working.
Not only are they not working but in the Language section there is also nothing created for them.
How come? How can I get them to work?

To get some "cool" feature, you may want to use Reactor instead Core. For example, in latest commit (by Phil) at Form_validation class, now it allow you to add 'is_unique' as validation rule.

I don't know what you mean when you say they don't work, but I came across this:
Quote:greater_than Returns FALSE if the form element is less than the parameter value or not numeric.
Going by the description one has to resort to guessing/trying what happens when the form element is exactly the parameter value.
I'd like to propose the description becomes
Quote:Returns FALSE if the form element is less than or equal to the parameter value, or not numeric.

he means they always return true. I have a project where I need to use one, and it does not appear to work. it never returns a validation error.
looking at the source code for the Form_validation library, there are no less_than or greater_than functions, while there are functions corresponding with all the other validation rules.
