Using SmartyValidate-2.2 / Smarty-2.6.3


NOTE: this post has been and continues to be subject to editing.


When empty="anything" is set, $params['empty'] is always true. This is because smarty_function_validate() is checking if `true' is in the $params array (this will always evaluate to true unless $var == ""). Either enable the strict bool for in_array(), or just remove `true' from the list of comparisons.

Here's the diff:

[php:1:53ce4e7686]
*** SmartyValidate.class.php.orig Tue Jul 13 08:48:08 2004
--- SmartyValidate.class.php Thu Jul 22 16:18:35 2004
***************
*** 361,367 ****
* @param string $var the value being booleanized
*/
function _booleanize($var) {
! if(in_array(strtolower($var), array(true, 1, 'true','on','yes','y'))) {
return true;
}
return false;
--- 362,368 ----
* @param string $var the value being booleanized
*/
function _booleanize($var) {
! if(in_array(strtolower($var), array(true, 1, 'true','on','yes','y'),true)) {
return true;
}
return false;
[/php:1:53ce4e7686]


Secondly... either there needs to be an isset="yes" attribute, OR unset variables should not fail a validation if empty="yes" is true. From here, you could even reset the variable to NULL, or just leave it unset. Why? Checkboxes, for example, will not be sent if they are empty. Also, the validation should not execute when empty="yes":

Code:

    EMPTY
    -----
   
    {validate field="foo" ... empty="yes"}
   
    "empty" determines if the field is allowed to be empty or not. If
    allowed, the validation will be skipped when the field is empty.
    Note this is ignored with the "notEmpty" criteria.


This fix also rightly skips validation when empty="yes". And yet another diff:

Code:

Notice: Array to string conversion in /web/sites/beano/Smarty-2.6.3/libs/SmartyValidate.class.php on line 166


I understand where you're going with this though: continue to validate on an actual zero.

[php:1:f924f6e796]
if(!isset($formvars[$_field])
|| ((is_array($formvars[$_field]) and empty($formvars[$_field]))
|| (!is_array($formvars[$_field]) and strlen((string)$formvars[$_field]) == 0)) && $_empty) {
