I created a plugin to validate a ZIP code, and had the CI form_validation library use it as a rule. The function was successfully being called, and the result was correct, but it wasn't triggering a form validation error. I poked around in the code, and found this on line 618 of system/libraries/Form_validation.php:
Code:
if ( ! method_exists($this, $rule))
{
// If our own wrapper function doesn't exist we see if a native PHP function does.
// Users can use any native PHP function call that has one param.
if (function_exists($rule))
{
$result = $rule($postdata);
if ($_in_array == TRUE)
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'][$cycles] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
else
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
}
continue;
}
$result = $this->$rule($postdata, $param);
if ($_in_array == TRUE)
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'][$cycles] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
else
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
The code after this block deals with the validation error, but it's never executed due to the continue. I changed it to this:
Code:
$result = TRUE;
if ( ! method_exists($this, $rule))
{
// If our own wrapper function doesn't exist we see if a native PHP function does.
// Users can use any native PHP function call that has one param.
if (function_exists($rule))
{
$result = $rule($postdata);
if ($_in_array == TRUE)
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'][$cycles] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
else
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
}
}
else
{
$result = $this->$rule($postdata, $param);
if ($_in_array == TRUE)
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'][$cycles] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
else
{
$this->_field_data[$row['field']]['postdata'] = (is_bool($result)) ? $postdata : $result;
}
}
and that cleared up the problem completely. I hope this helps someone struggling with the same issue...
