Validation problem

[eluser]Krzemo[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm currently working on user registration and tried to learn how to use validation.
Everything is ok except... my form is not being validated. Method run() always returns 1.
Am I missing something here? Fields names are ok (first param of set_rules())...

Below is method I call on form submit.

Thnx for taking a look.

Code:

function registeruser() {
        $validation_status = null;
        
        $this->load->library('validation');

        $this->lang->load('register');

        $this->validation->set_rules('login', 'lang:register_validation_login', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
        $this->validation->set_rules('password1', 'lang:register_validation_password1', 'trim|required|matches[password2]|min_length[6]|max_length[45]|md5');
        $this->validation->set_rules('password2', 'lang:register_validation_password2', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('firstname', 'lang:register_validation_firstname', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('lastname', 'lang:register_validation_lastname', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('email', 'lang:register_validation_email', 'trim|required|valid_email');
        $this->validation->set_rules('address_street_name', 'lang:register_validation_address_street_name', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('address_street_number', 'lang:register_validation_address_street_number', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('address_flat', 'lang:register_validation_address_flat', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('address_city', 'lang:register_validation_address_city', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('address_zip', 'lang:register_validation_zip', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('birthdate_years', 'lang:register_validation_birthdate_year', 'required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('birthdate_months', 'lang:register_validation_birthdate_month', 'required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('birthdate_days', 'lang:register_validation_birthdate_day', 'required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('telephone_mobile', 'lang:register_validation_mobiletelephone', 'trim|required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('fk_address_country_id', 'lang:register_validation_country', 'required');
        $this->validation->set_rules('fk_education_id', 'lang:register_validation_education', 'required');
        
        if ($this->validation->run() == FALSE) {
            $data['validation_errors'] = $this->validation->validation_errors();
            $this->load->view('common/vregister');
        } else {
            $this->load->view('common/vregistersuccess');
        }        

    }

It should be

Code:

$data['validation_errors'] = validation_errors();

Good luck

Im pretty sure this is not the reason why $this->validation->run() is always TRUE...
But thnx

The library to load is form_validation in 1.7.0 and not validation (which is 1.6.3).

[eluser]OES[/eluser]
Sorry my bad.

Getting l8 here.

imv4321 is correct you are using new form_validation but loading the old validation library.

Well played.

Was this ever solved? I am having a similar problem in that NO errors are being returned to me on validation.

Code:

CONTROLLER:

if($this->form_validation->run('add_cp_user') == FALSE) {
    print_r($this->form_validation->_field_data);
    print_r($this->form_validation->_config_rules);
    print_r($this->form_validation->_error_array);
} else {
}

Code:

form_validation.php Config File

<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

$config = array(
        'add_cp_user' =>    array(
                                array(
                                    'field'    => 'username',
                                    'label'    => 'account_username',
                                    'rules'    => 'trim|required|htmlspecialchars|min_length[6]|max_length[50]'
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'field'    => 'password',
                                    'label'    => 'account_password',
                                    'rules'    => 'trim|required|htmlspecialchars|min_length[6]|max_length[30]|matches[confirm_password]'
                                ),
                                array(
                                    'field'    => 'confirm_password',
                                    'label'    => 'account_confirm_password',
                                    'rules'    => 'trim|required|htmlspecialchars|min_length[6]|max_length[30]|matches[password]'
                                )
                            )
);

?>

The only thing that is not empty is the _config_rules array. However, no errors are returned. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's working for me finally, but I'm not using config file for validation rules.
Problem on my site was, that I havn't noticed that documentation version changed to 1.7 while I was still usintg 1.6.3.

[eluser]PV-Patrick[/eluser]
I figured it out.... and unfortunately feel like an idiot. I am doing it via ajax callback and wasn't setting the variable I was sending to $_POST so it was not triggering the validation on it. Ugh...
