In this tutorial i explain the Model rules and validation in Yii framework which will understand the yii model rules, user defined functions. In yii rules function I added code (of yiiframework) for unique,email,password comparison, date, phone number, trim etc.
Default Validation
1 2 3 | array('created_on', 'default', 'value'=>new CDbExpression('NOW()'), 'on'=>'insert'), |
Compare Validation
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | //password comparison array('password', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'password'), //From date and To date comparison // Using Oprerator array( 'last_date', 'compare', 'compareAttribute'=>'start_date', 'operator'=>'>', 'allowEmpty'=>false , 'message'=>'{attribute} must be greater than "{compareValue}".' ), |
Date/Time Validation
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | //Date array('dob', 'type','type' =>'date', 'message' => '{attribute}: is not a date!', 'dateFormat' => 'yyyy-MM-dd'), //Time array('birthtime', 'type', 'type'=>'time', 'timeFormat'=>'hh:mm'), array('datetime', 'type', 'type'=>'datetime', 'timeFormat'=>'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm'), |
Email Validation
1 2 | array('emailid', 'email'), |
Unique Validation
1 2 3 4 | array('username, email','unique', 'caseSensitive'=>true, 'allowEmpty'=>true, ), |
Custom Function Validation
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | //phone number, mobile number, std code validation array('phoneno,mobileno,stdcode','my_required'), //custom function public function my_required($attribute_name,$params){ if(empty($this->phoneno) && empty($this->mobileno)){ $this->addError('phoneno', 'Please enter Telephone number or Mobile number'); }else if(!empty($this->phoneno) && $this->stdcode==''){ $this->addError('stdcode','Please enter STD number'); } } |
URL Validation
1 2 | array('siteurl', 'url'), |
Range Validation
1 2 3 4 5 | array('status', 'in', 'range'=>array(1,2,3), 'allowEmpty'=>false, 'strict'=>true,// type comparison ), |
preg_match(pattern) Validation
1 2 3 4 5 | //username validation array('username', 'match' , 'pattern'=> '/^[A-Za-z0-9_]+$/u', 'message'=> 'Username can contain only [a-zA-Z0-9_].' ), |
File Validation
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | array('userimage', 'file', 'allowEmpty'=>true, 'types'=>'jpg, gif, png', 'on'=>'insert',//scenario 'except'=>'update', 'message' => 'Upload Valid Image!', // Error message 'wrongType'=>'File type is Invalid', 'minSize'=>1024,// 1MB 'maxSize'=>1024, 'maxFiles'=>4, 'tooLarge'=>'File Size Too Large',//Error Message 'tooSmall'=>'File Size Too Small',//Error Message 'tooMany'=>'Too Many Files Uploaded',//Error Message ), |
