form validation in_list - sh1ny - 10-16-2018
Hi,
Is there any way to pass an array into in_list[] form validation?
i.e. If I want to verify a value returned from a form exists in a DB column, and I get the column values as an array of values (no keys), is there a way to get in_list to read the array rather than hardcoding the values?
Thanks

Yep, but you need to implode it first. So that your array turns into comma separation instead.
PHP Code:
$array = [0 => 'red', 1 => 'green', 2 => 'blue'];
$array = implode($array,',');
// Array now looks like:
$array = 'red,green,blue';
// Use it like this
// I'm using array_keys() here because I want 0,1,2 instead of red,green,blue.
array(
'field' => 'menus_department[]',
'label' => lang('groups_type_department'),
'rules' => array(
'trim',
'required',
'in_list['.implode(array_keys($this->data['groups']['department']),',').']'
)
),

Thanks for the answer, it's greatly appreciated.
