Methods

public __construct( array $array ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Sets the unique "any field" key and creates an ArrayObject from the passed array.

Parameters

  • array $array required - Array to validate

Return Values

  • void

Source Code

public function __construct(array $array)
{
	parent::__construct($array, ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST);
}

public as_array( ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Returns the array representation of the current object.

Return Values

  • array

Source Code

public function as_array()
{
	return $this->getArrayCopy();
}

public bind( string $key [, mixed $value = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Bind a value to a parameter definition.

// This allows you to use :model in the parameter definition of rules
$validation->bind(':model', $model)
    ->rule('status', 'valid_status', array(':model'));

Parameters

  • string $key required - Variable name or an array of variables
  • mixed $value = NULL - Value

Return Values

  • $this

Source Code

public function bind($key, $value = NULL)
{
	if (is_array($key))
	{
		foreach ($key as $name => $value)
		{
			$this->_bound[$name] = $value;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		$this->_bound[$key] = $value;
	}

	return $this;
}

public check( ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Executes all validation rules. This should typically be called within an if/else block.

{
     // The data is valid, do something here
}

Return Values

  • boolean

Source Code

public copy( array $array ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Copies the current rule to a new array.

$copy = $array->copy($new_data);

Parameters

  • array $array required - New data set

Tags

  • Since - 3.0.5

Return Values

  • Validation

Source Code

public function copy(array $array)
{
	// Create a copy of the current validation set
	$copy = clone $this;

	// Replace the data set
	$copy->exchangeArray($array);

	return $copy;
}

public error( string $field , string $error [, array $params = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Add an error to a field.

Parameters

  • string $field required - Field name
  • string $error required - Error message
  • array $params = NULL - $params

Return Values

  • $this

Source Code

public function error($field, $error, array $params = NULL)
{
	$this->_errors[$field] = array($error, $params);

	return $this;
}

public errors( [ string $file = NULL , mixed $translate = bool TRUE ] ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Returns the error messages. If no file is specified, the error message will be the name of the rule that failed. When a file is specified, the message will be loaded from "field/rule", or if no rule-specific message exists, "field/default" will be used. If neither is set, the returned message will be "file/field/rule".

By default all messages are translated using the default language. A string can be used as the second parameter to specified the language that the message was written in.

// Get errors from messages/forms/login.php
$errors = $Validation->errors('forms/login');

Parameters

  • string $file = NULL - File to load error messages from
  • mixed $translate = bool TRUE - Translate the message

	{
		// Set the field label to the field name
		$this->_labels[$field] = preg_replace('/[^\pL]+/u', ' ', $field);
	}

	// Store the rule and params for this rule
