Multilanguage validation with German "Umlaute" - sprhld - 01-04-2022
Hello!
Today I was working in more details with the valitaion. I choose the model to add the rules and messages. But while testing, I go always an error, when a German "Umlaut" was part of the text. I don't know how to solve this, I didn't find anything
Here a short examle of the validation:
PHP Code:
'street_no' => 'required|alpha_numeric_space|min_length[5]',
PHP Code:
Düsseldorfer Straße
Has anyone an Idea hot to upgrade the validation? Or is there an other solution?
Thank you!

I think you will need to use the regex_match rule and define a regex expression to include the German characters: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/validation.html#available-rules

That was not as hard as I thougt. I saw regex in the docs, regex but regex is regex...
So my working solution is now:
PHP Code:
'surename' => 'required|regex_match[/[a-zA-Z ÄäÖöÜüß]/]|min_length[2]', // instead alpha_space
'street_no' => 'required|regex_match[/[a-zA-Z0-9 ÄäÖöÜüß]/]|min_length[5]', // instead alpha_numeric_space

Yeah regex can be confusing, that's why I always use a regex website to test mine!

First I should learn regex before using a testing-website
