Im trying to perform an validation on an array but not getting the desired results. Here is my modal.
<?php
/**
* This is the model class for table "userGameNumber".
*
* The followings are the available columns in table 'userGameNumber':
* @property integer $id
* @property integer $userId
* @property integer $gameId
* @property string $number
* @property integer $megaball
*/
class UserGameNumber extends CActiveRecord
{
/**
* Returns the static model of the specified AR class.
* @param string $className active record class name.
* @return UserGameNumber the static model class
*/
public static function model($className=__CLASS__)
{
return parent::model($className);
}
/**
* @return string the associated database table name
*/
public function tableName()
{
return 'userGameNumber';
}
/**
* @return array validation rules for model attributes.
*/
public function rules()
{
// NOTE: you should only define rules for those attributes that
// will receive user inputs.
return array(
array('number, megaball', 'required'),
array('number', 'numberCount'),
array('userId, gameId, megaball', 'numerical', 'integerOnly'=>true),
array('', 'length', 'max'=>255),
// The following rule is used by search().
// Please remove those attributes that should not be searched.
array('id, userId, gameId, number, megaball', 'safe', 'on'=>'search'),
);
}
/**
* @return array relational rules.
*/
public function relations()
{
// NOTE: you may need to adjust the relation name and the related
// class name for the relations automatically generated below.
return array(
'player'=>array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'userId'),
);
}
/**
* @return array customized attribute labels (name=>label)
*/
public function attributeLabels()
{
return array(
'id' => 'ID',
'userId' => 'User',
'gameId' => 'Game',
'number' => 'Number',
'megaball' => 'Megaball',
);
}
/**
* Retrieves a list of models based on the current search/filter conditions.
* @return CActiveDataProvider the data provider that can return the models based on the search/filter conditions.
*/
public function search()
{
// Warning: Please modify the following code to remove attributes that
// should not be searched.
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->compare('id',$this->id);
$criteria->compare('userId',$this->userId);
$criteria->compare('gameId',$this->gameId);
$criteria->compare('number',$this->number,true);
$criteria->compare('megaball',$this->megaball);
return new CActiveDataProvider($this, array(
'criteria'=>$criteria,
));
}
//serialize the data before save to database
public function beforeSave()
{
$this->number= serialize($this->number);
return parent::beforeSave();
}
//transform the serialized data back into its normal form after find
public function afterFind()
{
$this->number= unserialize($this->number);
return parent::afterFind();
}
public function numberCount($attribute)
{
if (count($attribute) != 5)
{
$this->addError($attribute, 'you did not select enough numbers!');
}
}
}
i want the numberCount function to validate if there are 5 array elements in my number attribute if not generate an error. Looks like its serialized before its validated. What can i do?
