I’ve been having a problem where custom validation rules aren’t working on my development server however they are working on my local MAMP server. The custom validation file (ie. MY_Form_validation.php) is seen by the application. It even works on the development server if I overwrite a native CI validation rule. For example I can overwrite the "required()" function in MY_Form_validation.php and it works perfectly. However when I create a new rule it doesn’t seem to see it. I don’t get an error either. Nothing happens. It just seems to skip that validation item.
So for one particular form field I have the following validation rules
Code:
// A Snippet from my form validation config file.
...
array(
'field' => 'email_addresses',
'label' => 'Email Addresses',
'rules' => 'trim|required|valid_emails|max_emails[3]'
),
...
So for the email_addresses field, “required” validates correctly, even if I overwrite the native CI rule with a custom rule in MY_Form_validation.php. "Valid_emails" rule also validates correctly. However the “max_emails” rule seems to be ignored as if it weren’t there, but only on my development server. On my local MAMP server it works perfectly.
Here is the max_emails function:
Code:
...
function max_emails($str, $val)
{
log_message('debug','MAX EMAILS: '.$str.' '.$val);
if (strpos($str, ',') === FALSE)
{
return TRUE;
}
$i=0;
foreach(explode(',', $str) as $email)
{
if (trim($email) != '' && $this->valid_email(trim($email)) !== FALSE)
{
$i++;
if($i>$val) return FALSE;
}
}
return TRUE;
}
...
Whatever the problem is, it doesn’t seem to be specific to this rule since I’m having the same problem with a different custom validation rule on a different development branch.
Any thoughts/help/solution would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Neal
