Commas in error message (PHP Validation) [How-To]

[Mike]

Note: your error message cannot contain commas. This is currently a limitation of the script.

I don't like this limitation, because my language requires comma after "Please"

I want to suggest a little fix in file \global\code\validation.php

If replace:

PHP Code:

function validate_fields($fields, $rules)
{
  $errors = array();

  // loop through rules
  for ($i=0; $i<count($rules); $i++)
  {
    // split row into component parts
    $row = split(",", $rules[$i]); 


at:

PHP Code:

function validate_fields($fields, $rules, $splitter = ",")
{
  $errors = array();

  // loop through rules
  for ($i=0; $i<count($rules); $i++)
  {
    // split row into component parts
    $row = split($splitter, $rules[$i]); 


nobody be affected, but everyone obtain possibility to use any character for separating components of $rules[] (I prefer the semicolon):

PHP Code:

$rules[] = "valid_email;email;Oh, no, you really think that it looks like the email?";
$errors = validate_fields($_POST, $rules, ";");
