Validation

sbanda

Hello,
I want to do validation on a filed to disallow special characters like @,#,$. So I tried to use no tags and xss but its still allowing special characters. Please assist

Field::inst( 'name' )
->validator( 'Validate::noTags' )
->validator( 'Validate::xss' ),

Those characters aren't either HTML entities nor can they be used for XSS attacks, so those two validators wouldn't pick those characters up.

You probably need to use a custom validator which will check the value (using PHP's strpos) for those characters.

Regards,
Allan
