Validation Class Improvements

[faguss]

Somehow my topic disappeared while I was editing so I'm reposting it.

46,51 - Replaced empty() with strlen()==0 because if the input was "0" (number zero) then the validation wouldn't work.


78-87 - Optionally you can pass array to the unique for a more complicated query (provided you have this patch). For example:

Code:

"unique"=>["tablename", ["and", ["SomeData","=",1], ["OtherData","=",2]]]

Also it will fail validation if query returned an error (which the original did not do).


110-147 - Added rules <, >, <=, >=, !=, == for comparing numbers. They will automatically check if value is a number so there's no need to stack it with is_numeric. For example:

Code:

">="=>25

(equal to 25 or greater ). You can also compare it against other fields. For example:

Code:

">"=>"Price"

(greater than the number in the "Price" input)


149-152 - Added rule is_int for excluding floats.

Code:

"is_int"=>true

209-210 - In function addError() added condition to prevent error message duplication.

EDIT:

54-55, 62-63, 70-73 - One issue with using array keys as rules is that you can't stack them. I've added an option to pass an array to rules: min, max, matches, <, >, <=, >=, !=, ==. For example:

Code:

">"=>[25,"Price"]

154-158 - Added rule is_timezone for verifying time zone name.

Code:

"is_timezone"=>true

100, 149 - Added

Code:

is_num

(synonymous with

Code:

is_numeric

). Added

Code:

is_integer

(synonymous with

Code:

is_int

)

160-189 - Added rule in for matching string lowercase.

Code:

"in"=>["a","b","c"]

30, 38-41 - If value is an array then

Code:

sanitize

will return an error. Because I use

Code:

Input::get

I don't want to sanitize again so I added optional argument to skip it

43-44, 51, 57, 65 - My earlier change to

Code:

strlen

screwed me over because values couldn't be arrays. Added condition to detect value type.

46-49 - Rule

Code:

required

now needs to be set to

Code:

true

in order to work

160-189 - Value for the rule

Code:

in

can now be array. Optionally containing sub-arrays where

Code:

[["display","value"]]

22, 2333 - In my view

Code:

_passed

is an unnecessary state so I've removed it. Better to just check if

Code:

_errors

isn't empty which I can do directly now because it's public.

191-198 - added rule is_datetime following this method. Example:

Code:

"is_datetime"=>"Y-m-d"
