RE: form_validation.php in config and conditional validation rules - Elias - 02-17-2018
(01-30-2018, 09:42 AM)webmachine Wrote: I have made a CRM in CodeIgniter that I am working on improving, and want to move all the form validation rules to a form_validation.php file in the config folder. It is working fine, but some of my rules are conditional on other form fields responses, and I don't know how to integrate those rules into the file's arrays.
Would I make a separate small array for each conditional rule, and place it as a new set of rules outside the main method validation array? Or can I make a part of the main validation array conditional?
And a good (for me) solution from my project:
PHP Code:
<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Main_model extends CI_Model {
private function get_rules()
{
return [
[
'field' => 'username',
'label' => 'Name',
'rules' => [
'required',
[
'username_callable',
[$this, 'username_check']
],
],
],
[
'field' => 'useremail',
'label' => 'Email',
'rules' => 'required|valid_email',
]
];
}
public function register()
{
$this->form_validation->set_rules( $this->get_rules() );
if($this->form_validation->run() === FALSE)
{
return 'Not registered!';
}
else
{
return 'Registered!';
}
}
public function username_check($username)
{
if($username != 'John')
{
$this->form_validation->set_message('username_callable', 'You must be John!');
return FALSE;
}
else
{
return TRUE;
}
}
}
