This plugin evolved from a need most every programmer runs into: form validation. This can be a tedious and time consuming task. The idea was to leverage the Smarty environment to make form validation as easy yet powerful as possible. This was accomplished by abstracting the validation grunt work and reducing it to simple validation criteria and messages in the template.

This isn't extensively tested, so please let me know if you use it, improve it, find bugs, etc. Enjoy!

this is what I have found in documentation:

Quote:

isCCExpDate
-----------

example:
{validate field="ccexp" criteria="isCCExpDate" message="..."}

"isEmail": is valid credit card expiration date.

isDate
------

example:
{validate field="startDate" criteria="isDate" message="..."}

"isEmail": is valid Date (parsible by strtotime()).


what "isEmail" are doing there? should be isCCExpDate and isDate, I guess. the same is with "isRange"

A cut-and-paste error when throwing docs together, I'll get that fixed. I'm also going to add a function registration method so you can lock down what functions can be called with it.

Probably not. It will eventually become part of a cohesive plugin repository once we get that thought out and put together.

Yet another minor update, I decided to make inCustom function calls require registration (instead of allowing any when none are registered.) v1.2 is now available.

'lo i just wanted to let you know that i removed my javascript form validation and changed it with this class. It rocks!

I changed the function smarty.validate.php so it accepts a custom template.

usage:
{validate field="companycode" criteria="notEmpty" message="You forgot your company code." tpl_file="custom_error.tpl"}

the tpl_file is searched in your tpl path.

Code:
<?php

function smarty_function_validate($params, &$smarty) {
   if (!class_exists('SmartyValidate')) {
      $smarty->trigger_error("validate: missing SmartyValidate class");
      return;
   }
   if (strlen($params['field']) == 0) {
      $smarty->trigger_error("validate: missing 'field' parameter");
      return;
   }
   if (strlen($params['criteria']) == 0) {
      $smarty->trigger_error("validate: missing 'criteria' parameter");
      return;
   }
   if(isset($params['trim'])) {
      $params['trim'] = SmartyValidate::booleanize($params['trim']);
   } else {
      $params['trim'] = false;
   }
   if(isset($params['empty'])) {
      $params['empty'] = SmartyValidate::booleanize($params['empty']);
   } else {
      $params['empty'] = false;
   }
   if(!isset($params['tpl_file'])) {
      $params['tpl_file'] = '';
   }

   switch($params['criteria']) {
      case 'notEmpty':
      case 'isInt':
      case 'isFloat':
      case 'isNumber':
      case 'isPrice':
      case 'isEmail':
      case 'isCCNum':
      case 'isCCExpDate':
      case 'isDate':
         break;
      case 'isEqual':
         if (strlen($params['field2']) == 0) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: isEqual missing 'field2' parameter");
            return;
         }
         break;
      case 'isRange':
         if (strlen($params['low']) == 0) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: missing 'low' parameter");
            return;
         }
         if (strlen($params['high']) == 0) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: missing 'high' parameter");
            return;
         }
         break;
      case 'isRegExp':
         if (strlen($params['expression']) == 0) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: isRegExp missing 'expression' parameter");
            return;
         }
         break;
      case 'isCustom':
         if (strlen($params['function']) == 0) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: isCustom missing 'function' parameter");
            return;
         }
         if(!preg_match('!^\w+(::\w+)?$!', $params['function'])) {
            $smarty->trigger_error("validate: isCustom invalid 'function' parameter");
            return;
         }
         break;
      default:
         $smarty->trigger_error("validate: unknown criteria '" . $params['criteria'] . "'");
         return;
         break;
   }

   $_form = isset($params['form']) ? $params['form'] : 'default';
   $_sess =& $_SESSION['SmartyValidate'][$_form]['validators'];

   $_found = false;
   foreach($_sess as $_key => $_field) {
      if($_field['field'] == $params['field']
         && $_field['criteria'] == $params['criteria']) {
         // field exists
         $_found = true;
         if(isset($_sess[$_key]['valid'])
               && !$_sess[$_key]['valid']) {
            // not valid, show error and reset
            if(isset($params['assign'])) {
               $smarty->assign($params['assign'], $params['add_pre'].$_sess[$_key]['message'].$params['add_aft']);
            } else {
               if (!empty($params['tpl_file'])) {
                  $x = $smarty;
                  $x->clear_all_assign();
                  $x->assign('error', $_sess[$_key]['message']);
                  $str = $x->fetch($params['tpl_file']);
                  unset($x);
               } else {
                  $str = $_sess[$_key]['message'];
               }
               echo $str;
            }
            $_sess[$_key]['valid'] = null;
            break;
         }
      }
   }
   if(!$_found) {
      // create
      $_sess[] = $params;
   }

}

I've found a bug in the SmartyValidate.class.php, trim doesn't work.
Change the line 58 in SmartyValidate.class.php from
$formvars[$_field] = trim($formvars[$_field]);
to
$formvars[$_val['field']] = trim($formvars[$_val['field']]);
and it'll work.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is still a minor error in the is_custom function:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[php:1:b4184343e6] case 'isCustom':
$_sess[$_key]['valid'] =
SmartyValidate::_is_custom(
$formvars[$_field],
$_sess[$_key]['function'],
$_empty,
$_sess[$_key]);[/php:1:b4184343e6]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
should read:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(you still forget to pass the form name)
[php:1:b4184343e6] case 'isCustom':
$_sess[$_key]['valid'] =
SmartyValidate::_is_custom(
$form,
$formvars[$_field],
$_sess[$_key]['function'],
$_empty,
$_sess[$_key]);[/php:1:b4184343e6]


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
and this code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[php:1:b4184343e6] /**
* test if a value is a valid range
*
* @param string $value the value being tested
* @param string $fuction the function to test against
* @param boolean $empty if field can be empty
*/
function _is_custom($value, $function, $empty = false, &$params) {

if(SmartyValidate::is_registered_function($function)) {
if(!function_exists($function)) {
trigger_error("SmartyValidate: function '$function' does not exist.");
return false;
}
return $function($value, $empty, $params);
} else {
trigger_error("SmartyValidate: function '$function' is not registered.");
return false;
}
}[/php:1:b4184343e6]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
should read:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[php:1:b4184343e6] /**
* test if a value is a valid range
*
* @param string $value the value being tested
* @param string $fuction the function to test against
* @param boolean $empty if field can be empty
*/
function _is_custom($form, $value, $function, $empty = false, &$params) {

if(SmartyValidate::is_registered_function($function, $form) {
if(!function_exists($function)) {
trigger_error("SmartyValidate: function '$function' does not exist.");
return false;
}
return $function($value, $empty, $params);
} else {
trigger_error("SmartyValidate: function '$function' is not registered.");
return false;
}
}[/php:1:b4184343e6]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Custom error templates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want custom error templates like i do... Change the following code in function.validate.php (on line 118) ...
[php:1:b4184343e6] echo $_sess[$_key]['message'];[/php:1:b4184343e6]

... into this:
[php:1:b4184343e6] if (!empty($params['tpl_file'])) {
$x = $smarty;
$x->clear_all_assign();
$x->assign('error', $_sess[$_key]['message']);
$str = $x->fetch($params['tpl_file']);
unset($x);
} else {
$str = $_sess[$_key]['message'];
}
echo $str;[/php:1:b4184343e6]

And you can use a custom tpl (usefull if you want all errors to look thesame) An example tpl (save in your smarty template directory as frm_error.tpl) might look like this:
[php:1:b4184343e6]<span class="frm_error">{$error}</span>[/php:1:b4184343e6]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example of use:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[php:1:b4184343e6]{validate ... ... ... tplfile="frm_error.tpl"}[/php:1:b4184343e6]

You mean the custom error templates? It's an interesting hack, but I'm hesitant to add that to the validator class. You can pretty easily handle error formatting in the template already. Example:

Code:
{validate field="foobar" criteria="notEmpty" message="can't be empty" assign="error"}
{include file="error.tpl" error=$error}


Then in the error.tpl file:

Code:
{if $error ne ""}
... do formatting here ...
{/if}


This requires one extra step in the template, but keeps the validator simple and flexible. But in any event if someone wants to use your method, it's posted here for the world to use Wink Thanks for your input and contributions!
