Hi everyone,

I usually have my form variables submitted as multidimensional arrays, but I seem to be having trouble getting SmartyValidate to validate these variables.

This is an examples of my form field:

Code:
<input type="text" name="contactDetails[name]" />


Here is what I've tried to validate with:

Code:
{validate field="contactDetails.name" criteria="notEmpty" transform="trim" message="Full Name Cannot Be Empty"}
{validate field="contactDetails[name]" criteria="notEmpty" transform="trim" message="Full Name Cannot Be Empty"}
{validate field="contactDetails['name']" criteria="notEmpty" transform="trim" message="Full Name Cannot Be Empty"}


Can anyone help?

SmartyValidate can currently validate zero-indexed arrays, such as:

<input type=text name=foobar[]>

But it currently does not have support for name-keyed arrays such as foobar[blah]

You could easily build a custom validator to handle it:

{validate field="foobar[blah]" criteria="keyNotEmpty" ... }

or

{validate field="foobar" key="blah" criteria="keyNotEmpty" ... }

I'll see about support for name-keyed arrays

I've committed to CVS the support for array keys.

examples:

{validate field="foo[bar]" ... } {* apply to one array element *}
{validate field="foo[]" ... } {* apply to each array element *}
{validate field="foo" ... } {* same as above *}

The last two are identical, the validator will apply to each array value.

Please test and give feedback!

Ok, so I've done some testing, and it seems to work fine.

But it doesn't seem to work for multidimensional arrays. I've gotten around this by making the form data less complicated; however is it difficult to get it working with multidimensional arrays also?

Sorry, let me do some further testing and rephrase that.

I know it doesn't, and it's not as trivial. multi-dimensional arrays, I don't think I've ever seen or used that on a form Wink I doubt I'll mess with it unless there is a lot of requests for it.

I did notice something else though, say I had a form like this:

Code:
<input type="text" name="contactDetails[name]" />
<input type="text" name="contactDetails[email]" />


It will only validate one field at a time. So if I were to submit a blank form, an error would only be displayed for the name field. The email error won't actually come up until the name field is valid.

Which files should I look at if I were to have a look at this myself? I doubt I'll have the time, but I might be able to take a quick look at it to understand it better.[/code]

You can get an error for both:

{validate field="contactDetails[name]" criteria="notEmpty" message="foo" append="bar"}
{validate field="contactDetails[email]" criteria="notEmpty" message="foo" append="bar"}

->from tpl
{validate form="track_form" field="liste[]" criteria="notEmpty" message="Vous devez s&lectionner au moins un artiste !"}

->resulting errors
Notice: Undefined variable: fromvars in /var/www/html/_DEV/redust/inc/smarty/SmartyValidate.class.php on line 204

Notice: Undefined variable: fromvars in /var/www/html/_DEV/redust/inc/smarty/SmartyValidate.class.php on line 204

Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/html/_DEV/redust/inc/smarty/SmartyValidate.class.php on line 204


[edit]
line 204 you wrotte fromvars instead of formvars
[/edit]

much better now
but I still get the notice ...

Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/html/_DEV/redust/inc/smarty/SmartyValidate.class.php on line 204

here is line 204
((is_array($formvars[$_field]) && count($_field) == 0) || strlen($formvars[$_field]) == 0) && $_empty

I tried
((is_array($formvars[$_field]) && count($_field) == 0) ) && $_empty

and the notice disapeared...

SmartyValidate.class.php/1.33/Thu Feb 10 17:17:09 2005//
sorry not better...

Question maybe it's stupid but :
can't you substitute
strlen($formvars[$_field]) == 0
with
$formvars[$_field] == ""

I don't know about the consequence of this because
...I don't know that much PHP
