Good morning every one!
I have following form input line:
Code:
<td colspan="2">Valodas kods <input name="code" type="text" value="<?=$this->validation->code;?>" maxlength="2"></td>Code:
$rules['code'] = "trim|max_length[2]|xss_clean";Quote:The language code field can not exceed 2 characters in length.Can someone help to make validation rule for none latin symbols ?

The same problem for me. I use Russian symbols and the same rule: "max_length". This rule is set to 3 for me and even if I enter a word of 4 russian letters I get the message that my input is too short.
So how can this be fixed?
Seems that ther no replies to this thread almost for a year. But may be bumping it with my post will help?
UPDATE: It seems that the author of this topic have found some kind of solution here. But in that topic it's said that it's not a solution any way. So can anybody help?

@alex-and-r: the solution shown in that topic IS a valid solution - that is, developing your own validation callback function, using mb_strlen() instead of strlen(). What the author there says is *not* a solution is having to 'wait for php6'! :-)

This can be solved using a callback function.
Code:
$rules['code'] = "trim|callback_code_check|xss_clean";
.
.
.
function code_check($str)
{
if (mb_strlen($str, "UTF-8") > 2)
{
$this->validation->set_message('code_check', 'Code can not exceed 2 chars');
return false;
}
else return true;
}Please remember to change "UTF-8" to whatever you need.

Thank you very much for the reply and for posting actual code. I'll try it!

Well, I tryed the code and it didn't work...
It's funny and strange, but ordinary strlen function works fine for me. No need for mb_strlen or even iconv_strlen. May be it's because I'm using win1251 encoding and not utf8?
But anyway, my problem is solved.
