Run individual validation scripts? - Validation Library

[eluser]WoolyG[/eluser]
Hi,

Is it possible to run individual validation against a specified rule?

eg:

Code:

$rules['register_firstname']="required|xss_clean";

$register_firstname1 = $_POST['register_firstname'];
$register_firstname = mysql_real_escape_string($register_firstname1);

$test = $this->validation->run('register_firstname'); // This bit is probably setting me wrong
echo $test; // Expecting TRUE or FALSE

Cheers

From the Documentation: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html

You set the rules with the set_rules method and as you can see in the documentation you can add as many rules for as many fields as you like - individually.

Code:

$this->load->library('form_validation');
            
$this->form_validation->set_rules('register_firstname', 'First name', 'required|xss_clean');  

if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
{
    echo 'Error!';
}
else
{
    echo 'Success!';
}

I understand that, but I want to individually state why each POST value is failing the validation in my return. I'm not loading a view from the results of the POST, I'm setting session values and redirecting, and as a result the form_error() functions are not displaying on my redirected pages..

You can also just store the validation errors in session and view them after the redirect.

You can get individual errors with the form_error() function.

Documentation: http://localhost/CodeIgniter Doc/librari...dualerrors

Code:

foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
  if (form_error($key))
  {
    // session stuff
  }
}

Something like that?
I don't see the point of it though, but if that's what you need then so be it
