Today i'm learning new class from CI --> Form (validation and helper too). I'm not found any problem, until i try for using a checkbox....and form validation. Ok if my checkbox has a value (checked), then no problem with that, but how if not checked? of course there are no post variable (if not checked), and my problem is i cannot using form validation to validate my checkbox post variable, this is my code using form validation :
Code:
//checkbox variable name --> id
//this script will give a NOTICE Error Message if there are nothing checkbox selected
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('id[]','IDContent','required');
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
$this->_load_content('edit','Nothing selected'); //my private function
}
if there are no checkbox selected, it means no post variable, if there are no post variable, then CI will be give a NOTICE error message...Before im using this validation, i think this CI function can detect if there are nothing checkbox selected, but im wrong. So this is my code :red: :
Code:
//if there are no checkbox selected then will print "Nothing selected"
if(isset($_POST['id'])) {
for($i=0; $i < count($_POST['id']); $i++) {
$id = $_POST['id'];
$query = "delete from content where idcontent='$id[$i]'";
$sql = $this->db->query($query); //deleting data from database
}
$this->_load_content('edit','Your data has been deleted.'); // my private function
}elseif(!in_array('id',$_POST)) {
//i'm using in_array() function to detect checkbox post variable
//if checkbox not selected will print "Nothing selected"
$this->_load_content('edit','Nothing selected'); // my private function
}
Can i just use
CI Form Validation to solve this problem? :down: I know this problem can handled correctly just with my code, but i want to learn more from CI "how to resolve this problem if there are nothing checkbox selected using Form Validation"?
