I have a validation rules in my model:
public function rules()
{
return array(){
array('order', 'required'),
}
}
I have an input text element in my order view:
input type="text" name="order1"
when I press a button, my input text element have increased, so now I have 2 input text element with different name. e.g:
input type="text" name="order1"
input type="text" name="order2"
My question is: how can i edit validation rules dynamically, so when "order1" or "order2" is null, there are a validation message. Thanks.
I would have different approach to the problem. Instead of having inputs with name = order1, order2, orderN, have an array like this <input type="text" name="orders[]" />
And in the model, always expect array of orders, loop through it and if any of items does not validate, add an error.
class SomeModel
{
public $orders;
public function rules()
{
return array(
array('orders', 'validateOrders'),
);
}
public function validateOrders($attribute, $params)
{
foreach($this->orders as $order)
if (empty($order)) {
$this->addError('orders', 'There is an empty order');
break;
}
}
}
The above code is written on the go here and is untested but should closely show my idea.
