Custom field validator for IP address with subnet included

axel_tsys

Hi,

I have to use the postgresql field type 'inet'.
This is an field for an IP address with netmask included (ex: 1.1.0.0/16) .
IPv4 and IPv6 did work.
The build in validator for IP did not work with a subnetmask.
It looks like I need a custom field validator.

Can someone give me a hint how to start with this validator or did someone have this already in place?
I have already some php classes in place wich are able to check this but I am not sure who to include this.

Thanks and regards
Axel

Sorry, I forgot the current code with the standard ip check:

<?php

// DataTables PHP library and database connection
include( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "DataTables/lib/DataTables.php" );


// Alias Editor classes so they are easy to use
use
        DataTables\Editor,
        DataTables\Editor\Field,
        DataTables\Editor\Format,
        DataTables\Editor\Mjoin,
        DataTables\Editor\Options,
        DataTables\Editor\Upload,
        DataTables\Editor\Validate,
        DataTables\Editor\ValidateOptions;



// Build our Editor instance and process the data coming from _POST
Editor::inst( $db, 'adminnetworkscomplete', 'id' )
        ->fields(
                Field::inst( 'adminnetworkscomplete.interface' ),
                Field::inst( 'adminnetworkscomplete.networkv4' )
                    ->validator( Validate::ip( ValidateOptions::inst()
                    ->allowEmpty(true))),
                Field::inst( 'adminnetworkscomplete.networkv6' )
                    ->validator( Validate::ip( ValidateOptions::inst()
                    ->allowEmpty(true))),
                Field::inst( 'adminnetworkscomplete.gatewayv4' )
                        ->validator( Validate::ip( ValidateOptions::inst()
                                ->allowEmpty(true))),
                Field::inst( 'adminnetworkscomplete.gatewayv6' )
                        ->validator( Validate::ip( ValidateOptions::inst()
                                ->allowEmpty(true)))

        )

        ->process( $_POST )
        ->json();

Thanks

Hi,

You'll need a custom validator function for this. You could use a regex if you just need to check for the IP with a netmask, or if you need to confirm that IP is in a certain range a function like this might help.
