Method Argument Validation - El Forum - 10-09-2011

Good Day Fellow CI Followers,
I wanted to gather some thoughts on method argument validations. Here is my example method:
Code:
function page($pageID="",$segment="index") {
IF (EMPTY($pageID)) {
return FALSE;
}
IF (!is_numeric($pageID)) {
return FALSE;
}
/*
What ever logic here
*/
}I was thinking about building a method validation class that would almost be an extension of the CI Form validation class. So the above code would look something like this:
Code:
function page($pageID="",$segment="index") {
$this->method_validation->set_rules($pageID,"required|numeric");
$this->method_validation->set_rules($segment,"required");
IF ($this->method_validation->run()===FALSE) {
return FALSE;
}
ELSE {
/*
What ever logic here
*/
}
}My first concern would be how to handle callbacks, since the only way (that I know of) to find the 'calling' class is to use debug_backtrace, which seems a waste of time to me...
Any thoughts or suggestions?
