Form validation issues
Development and Programming
Hi support,
I have a requirement to use the form_validation library and more specifically the
valid_username[new]and
valid_email[new]however, this is not working for me.
The valid_username fails with the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function helper() on a non-object in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/invoicee/system/expressionengine/libraries/EE_Form_validation.php on line 116
Line 116 of EE_Form_validation.php is the following:
$this->CI->load->helper('string');The
valid_email[new]doesn’t error, but also doesn’t validate the email address against duplicates which doesn’t help a great deal!!
Am I missing something simple?
Thanks in advance, Joe
Hi Joe,
Can you give some context to how you are using the form validation library?
Are you building an add-on?
Cheers,
Hi Dan,
Yes, building an module which requires me to register members from within the control panel. I’m trying to use the form validation from within the mcp.my_addon.php file.
Cheers, Joe
Hey Joe,
I am going to move this over to Development and Programming. The community there will help you with your development questions.
