Value in array CodeIgniter validation rule










1















CodeIgniter has many validation rules but is there any rule for checking if the value from a certain field is present in an array(given as parameter to the validation rule)?



For example:



$possible_values = array('beer', 'soda', 'wine', 'water');

$this->form_validation->set_rules('drink', 'Drink', 'required|trim|found_in_array[possible_values]');

          you can use callback_function_name like so,



          $this->form_validation->set_rules('drink', 'Drink', 'callback_customInArray');


          public function customInArray($str)

          $possible_values = array('beer', 'soda', 'wine', 'water');
          if(in_array($str, $possible_values)return true;
          return false;

            No there isn't a validation rule for that specific case.



            But you can create your own validation rules: Look here (Codeingiter UserGuide)



            I.E.:



            $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'callback_is_inArray[someValues]');

            public function is_inArray($str, $values)
            return in_array($str, $values);

              You can use in_list codeigniter form validation rule.



              $this->form_validation->set_rules('drink', 'Drink', 'in_list[beer,soda,wine,water]');
