hello everybody,
I extended the validation core class to add custom validators. Now when I use this class, fields that contain special characters like "ß" or "ü" won't pass the valid_string rule. The same ruleset, used directly via the validation core class in the controller works perfectly as wished for. Would be great if someone could give me a hint whether I'm missing something out or there might be a bug.
example class:
<code>
class TestValidator extends Validation {
public function __construct($set) {
parent::__construct($set);
$this->setupValidator();
}
private function setupValidator() {
$this->add('name')->add_rule('required')->add_rule('valid_string',array('alpha','numeric','spaces','punctuation','dashes'))->add_rule('max_length',255);
}
}
</code>
called in the controller like that:
<code>
$this->oCheck = TestValidator::factory();
if ($this->oCheck->run($_REQUEST)) {
}
</code>
With a parameter like "?name=Böhme" the validator never returns "true".
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks & happy easter: jan.
