[Solved] Regex Check Codeigniter Form Validation

Update:
I have tried this now. Just would like to know if correct?

PHP Code:

<?php

class MY_Form_validation extends CI_Form_validation {

   function has_capital($str) {
    if ($this->regex($str) == FALSE) {
           $this->set_message('has_capital', 'Your ' .$str. ' needs to have at least one upper case letter');
       return false;
    } else {
       return true;
    }
    } 
    
    function regex($str) {
        $found = FALSE;

        for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) {
            if (ord($str[$i]) >= 65 && ord($str[$i]) <= 90) {
                $found = true;
                break;
            }
        }

        return $found;
    } 
} 


The set_message() call should probably be:

PHP Code:

$this->set_message('has_capital', 'Your {field} needs to have at least one upper case letter'); 


If you want to display what they input, you can use {param} in your message text. See http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/li...r-messages

Thanks for that tip

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
