Fatal Error with PHP Validation

[lszlsz]

Hi

I wanted to use a php validation for a simple text field. Simple code, just adding some prefix to a text field.

Upon sending the form I get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /home/usr/g-fras/public_html/plugins/fabrik_validationrule/php/php.php on line 69

I'm running 3.07 on J25.
I upgraded to the latest gthub version - but only the php validation plugin.

Kindly

Two things:

1. When you upgrade from GitHub, you have to upload ALL files, not just one plugin as code changes often affects many cores files also.
2. You should post the PHP code you use for the validation so we can see whether there is an error in it.

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply!

1. Noted
2. The code goes like this

return "prefix".$data;

I think for this kind of application, you'd better use the calc element: it allows you to perform "actions" on any element on the form.
So say that that your element is called "myelement", recording in the database table "mytable", add a hidden calc element in your form and write this as a calculation:

return 'prefix'.'{mytable___myelement'};

You can choose to show this element and hide the "myelement" in list view so your modified text entry would show in the list.

Hi
Thanks for the tip, works well.

I have an additional question:
How would I install a validation that sets all characters of an text field to lower case?

hi
Add a php validation plugin and set
match or replace: replace

and in the code text area enter:

return strtolower($data);
