CodeIgniter is totally my mistress... and I think my wife is catching on...

What is the difference between the new and the old Validation library?

The docs spell it out quite nicely. It has additional functionality, some new helpers, and better handling of $_POST array values, among other improvements.

Thanks.

I don't find anywhere in here that outlines the changes. Am I missing something? What are the major changes requiring a new library? I do not see them listed.

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
They made some significant and beneficial changes to the API. And, knowing that some users might have sites that use the Validation library heavily but would want to upgrade and benefit from a new release, they decided to make it a separate library, so these people can upgrade to 1.7 without completely refactoring their form handling controllers.

If you want a full comparison, read the Validation Class docs and compare them to the new Form Validation Class docs.

Thanks Rick. It's good to start a day with a good news, nowadays.
Thanks for your hard work. I think I'll dive into the validation library first.

Thanks again to all of you at EllisLab.

(... hhmmm... too many thanks? ) :cheese:

[eluser]Colin Williams[/eluser]
I'll one-up you, Andrea

Code:

$this->load->helper('string');
print repeater('Thanks!', 100);

Hi, thanks for the release !
It seems full of good things.

However I just noticed in the .zip release, there is a '._autoload.php' binary file in the system/application/config folder. It doesn't really matter but since I saw it... :-)
Also I really hope that someday you will stop including index.html files in every folder, but maybe that's just me ;-)

Brilliant

Im assuming based of some of the comments in the user_guide referring to expression engine that 2.0 isnt that far away.

@Skateinmars - The index.html files are there for security to prevent directory listing of your php files.

You really should be glad they're there
