Codeigniter表单验证回调函数不起作用

Question

I've written a simple callback function which isn't working. My other callbacks (which are in the same library file) work fine so I guess the problem has to do with my code.

The parameter passed in the callback function takes the form of a chunk of PHP which is eval()'ed to form part of an 'if()' statement in the function itself.

Here's what's in the controller:

$this->form_validation->set_rules('rating', 'Rating','required');
$condition = $this->input->post('rating')  . " != 'Excellent'";
$this->form_validation->set_rules('details', 'Details', 'required_conditional[' . htmlentities($condition) .']');

And here's the callback function itself:

function required_conditional($str, $condition)
{
    if (eval(html_entity_decode($condition))) {
        if ($str == '') {
            $this->set_message('required_conditional', 'The %s field is required');
            return FALSE;
        }
        else {
            return TRUE;
        }
    }
}

Any ideas why it's not working anyone?

Thanks, Matt

Answer 1

It's because eval evaluates statements, not expressions. This will give you a parse error:

$test = "1 > 0";
if (eval($test)) { echo "echo!"; }

And this will work as you expect it to:

$test = "return 1 > 0;";
if (eval($test)) { echo "echo!"; }

Answer 2

您不应该使用“ callback_<function name> ”吗？

Answer 3

是的，请使用正确的语法来调用表单验证回调以使用“ callback_”
