Question

In setting up validation for one of my models, I’m having trouble getting the correct syntax for the ‘range’ rule. Every variation seems to pass only the (first) min parameter and not the (second) max.

/**
 * @var   array  Validation rules
 */
public function rules()
{
    return array(
        'title' => array(
            array('not_empty'),
            array('max_length', array(':value', 50)),
        ),
        'time' => array(
            array('not_empty'),
            array('date'),
        ),
        'date' => array(
            array('not_empty'),
            array('date'),
        ),
        'limit' => array(
            array('digit'),
            array('range', array(':value', 1), array(':value', 255)),
        ),
    );
}

I also tried array('range', array(':value', array(1, 255))) to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The correct syntax for Range Rule need 3 param and not 2.
As you can see in the documentation: http://kohanaframework.org/3.2/guide/api/Valid#range

So the code must be like this:

array('range', array(':value', 1, 255)),
