$toolbox=$this->add(‘Inspector’,null,’Toolbox’);

If there are any issues, let me know.

Do we just add them into the addLocation array as if it were a addon?

function validate(&$data, &$mvcform) {
:
$data=$correct_data;
:
}

but haven’t tried it yet. or, another solution would be to use the “&” symbol:

function validate(&$data, &$mvcform) {
:
$mvcform->fields[$fieldname] = $correct_data;
:
}

although, the problem on this 2nd approach is to determine the current field’s name.

in any case, since validate only receives field data only without the field name, we cannot have a “generic” validate function to be used for all fields.

it would be nice if we can see this changed in future versions like:

function validate(&$data) {
:
if(is_object($data))
if($data->name==’dateofbirth’) {
:
$data->data==reformatdate(‘yyyy-mm-dd’,$data->data);
:
}
:
}

to preserve old usage, we can check if $data is of type object.

what do you think?

“Agile Toolkit allows to add validation on per-field basis using validate($callable). Callable receives row data as an argument and can make a simple decision by returning true or false.”

Correction:

the $callable receives two parameters: the 1st parameter is a single piece of data (not a whole row) which the field is currently holding. while the 2nd parameter is an object of the form: $this->owner (which in general resolves to an MVCForm class).

There are three ways on how to use validate and declare a corresponding function:

(#1) as an anonymous function, only available on PHP5.3:

->validate(function validate($data){ /* more code here */ return !empty($data); } )

(#2) or, as a method inside the same model class:

->validate(array($this,’validate’))

(#3) or, as a regular function outside the model class but inside the same file as the model class:

->validate(‘validate’)

as for the 2nd parameter which is the $this->owner object, it may be useful for the #3 approach where a regular function can have access to the object calling it.
