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)
{
    $this->_data = $array;
}

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', [':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) {

    }

    return $this;
}

}

Return Values

  • boolean

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

Copies the current rules 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->_data = $array;

    return $copy;
}

public data( ) (defined in Kohana_Validation)

Returns the array of data to be validated.

Return Values

  • array

Source Code

public function data()
{
    return $this->_data;
}

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)

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

Aliases you can use in callback parameters: - :validation - the validation object - :field - the field name - :value - the value of the field

// The "username" must not be empty and have a minimum length of 4
$validation->rule('username', 'not_empty')
    ->rule('username', 'min_length', [':value', 4]);

// The "password" field must match the "password_repeat" field
$validation->rule('password', 'matches', [':validation', 'password', 'password_repeat']);

// Using closure (anonymous function)
$validation->rule('index', function(Validation $array, $field, $value) {
