How to validate field with brackets in name - groovebird - 09-07-2022
Hi,
i have 3 radio buttons with the following name:
radio name="button[10]" value="15"
radio name="button[10]" value="16"
radio name="button[10]" value="17"
This is the rule:
PHP Code:
$rules = [
'button[10]' => [
'label' => '',
'rules' => 'required',
'errors' => [
'required' => 'Please check the radio button'
]
]
];
If i check one radiobutton the error message is still displayed. what i am doing wrong?

Did you assign a value to each radio button?

yes, every radio button has its own value

Try changing button[10] in rules to button.*

Thank you :-), this seems to work, but i have groups of buttons with the name
name="button[20]" and name="button[30]"
How can i validate this different fields individually?
Every radio button group should have it's own error message. With button.* all fields will be affected.

I tried this but it was not working because of a typo
Found the dot notation in the documentation. Now it is working.Thank you very much for your help

@groovebird
will you please help us ' what was and where was ' that " typo " (the dot notation) and how you resolve this problem? so, the juniors should be aware of it.
thanks in advance.

@Ahmed Haroon i used the dot notation but misspelled the name of the input field in the showError() function. This was the reason why no error message was displayed
$validation->showError('button.10') shows me the correct error message
