Here I am enetring tax field in % but when i enetr values like 2.5,0.5 other than integer it is generating error.. Here is my code for Validation,any idea for entering float numbers
function _set_rules() { $this->form_validation>set_rules('pst','PST','trim|required|is_natural|numeric| max_length[4]|callback_max_pst'); $this->form_validation->set_rules('gst','GST','trim|required|is_natural|numeric| max_length[4]|callback_max_gst'); } function max_pst() { if($this->input->post('pst')>100) { $this->form_validation->set_message('max_pst',' %s Value Should be less than or equals to 100'); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } function max_gst() { if($this->input->post('gst')>100) { $this->form_validation->set_message('max_gst',' %s Value Should be less than or equals to 100'); return FALSE; } return TRUE; } </code>
From the codeigniter documentation:
is_natural Returns FALSE if the form element contains anything other than a natural number: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. source
Clearly, values like 2.5,0.5 are not natural numbers so they will fail validation. You can use a callback and return the value after parsing the value with floatval()
PHP function.
Hope it helps!
You can try this :
function _set_rules()
{
$this->form_validation>set_rules('pst','PST','trim|required|
numeric|max_length[4]|callback_max_pst');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('gst','GST','trim|required|
numeric|max_length[4]|callback_max_gst');
}
function max_pst($value) {
$var = explode(".", $value);
if (strpbrk($value, '-') && strlen($value) > 1) {
$this->form_validation->set_message('max_pst', '%s accepts only
positive values');
return false;
}
if ($var[1] > 99) {
$this->form_validation->set_message('max_pst', 'Enter value in
proper format');
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
Hope this code will help you.... :)
remove the is_natural
from the validation rules and replace it with greater_than[0]
and less_than[100]
function _set_rules()
{
$this->form_validation>set_rules('pst','PST','trim|required|
greater_than[0]|less_than[100]|max_length[4]|callback_max_pst');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('gst','GST','trim|required|
greater_than[0]|less_than[100]|max_length[4]|callback_max_gst');
}
greater_than[0]
will apply numeric
