Description 

Author

This package can fetch and validate forms and request values.

It can take rules and other types of details using a chained interface for defining the values to be validated that can have been submitted to the server via forms or parameters of links that were clicked by the users.

The parameters for each submitted value can for instance the identifier of the value, type of value, conditions to compare the submitted value with accepted values, if the default value will be restored in case the submitted value is invalid, etc..

A separate class handles the validation error message lists for each submitted value.

Details

ValidationOne

It's a PHP library for fetch and validate fields and store messages in different containers(including error, warning, info, and success) depending on the conditions.

Tutorial Form and Table with PHP

diagram example It is an example of functionality. A normal example is more complex, even if it's only a few lines of code.

ValidationOne

Let's say we want to validate a value an input value (get) called "id", we could do the next things:

  • the default value is the text "ERROR"
  • the type of the value is an integer, so it must returns an integer. It also could be an integer,decimal,string,date,datestring and boolean
  • we add a condition, the value must be equals (eq) to 10. If fails then it returns a message (as error)
  • we add another condition, if the value must be equals (eq) to 30. If fails then it returns an info (not an error)
  • If the operation fails then it returns the default value.
  • And finally, we obtain the "id" from $_GET (parameter url).
$val=new ValidationOne();

$r = $val->def('ERROR')
    ->type('integer')
    ->ifMissingThenDefault()
    ->condition("eq", "It's not equals to 10", 10)
    ->condition("eq", "It's not equals to 30 (info)", 30, 'info')
    ->ifFailThenDefault()
    ->get('id'); // <-- end of the chain

But, where is the error?. It's in messagelist

var_dump($val->messagelist->allArray()) // here we show all messages of any kind of type. 

However, we could also show a message by type (error, warning..) and only message by specific identifier.

var_dump($val->messageList->get('id')->allErrorOrWarning())) // All error or warning contained in the key "id".

Why the messages are store in some structure?. Is it not easy to simply return the error? .

The answer is a form. Le't say we have a form with 3 fields. If one of them fails, then the error must be visible for each field separately. Also the whole form could have it's own message.

condition ($condition, $message = "", $conditionValue = null, $level = 'error', $key = null)

It adds a condition that it depends on the type of the input.

  • @param string $condition

    <b>number</b>:req,eq,ne,gt,lt,gte,lte,between,null,notnull<br> <b>string</b>:req,eq,ne,minlen,maxlen,betweenlen,null,notnull,contain,notcontain ,alpha,alphanum,text,regexp,email,url,domain<br> <b>date</b>:req,eq,ne,gt,lt,gte,lte,between<br> <b>datestring</b>:req,eq,ne,gt,lt,gte,lte,between<br> <b>boolean</b>:req,eq,ne,true,false<br> <b>file</b>:minsize,maxsize,req,image,doc,compression,architecture,ext<br> <b>function:</b><br> fn.static.Class.methodstatic<br> fn.global.function<br> fn.object.Class.method where object is a global $object<br> fn.class.Class.method<br> fn.class.\namespace\Class.method<br>

  • @param string $message

    Message could uses the next variables '%field','%realfield','%value','%comp','%first','%second'

  • @param null $conditionValue
  • @param string $level (error,warning,info,success)
  • @param string $key If key is not null then it is used for add more than one condition by key
  • @return ValidationOne

Example:

$validation->def(null)
    ->type('integer')
    ->condition('eq','%field %value is not equal to %comp ',50)
    ->condition('eq','%field %value is not equal to %comp ',60)
    ->set('aaa','variable2');

    ->type('integer')
    ->condition('eq','%field %value is not equal to %comp ',50)
    ->condition('between','%field %value must be between 1 and 50 ',[1,50])
    ->condition('eq','%field %value is not equal to %comp ',60)
    ->condition('eq','%field %value is not equal to %comp ',[60,200]) // eq allows a single or array

// ->condition('fn.static.Example.customval','la funcion no funciona') 
function customval($value,$compareValue) {
    return true;
}

MessageList

MessageList is a list of containers of messages. It's aimed for convenience, so it features many methods to access of the information in different ways.

Messages are cataloged as follow

| id | Description | Example | |---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| | error | The message is an error and it must be solved. It is a show stopper. | Database is down | | warning | The message is a warning that maybe it could be ignored. | The registry was stored but with warnings | | info | The message is an information | Log is stored | | success | The message is a succesful operation | Order Accepted | |

Sometimes, both errors are warning are considered as equals. So the system allows to read an error or warning.

Error has always the priority, then warning, info and success. If you want to read the first message, then it starts searching for errors.

You can obtain a message as an array of objects of the type MessageItem, as an array of string, or as an a single string (first message)

  • What if the value doesn't exist?
