php - How to validate given data in ORM? -

kohana's orm comes built in kohana's validation.

as much understood, validates fields will be added database. won't work me because need validate fields come $_post (in simple speaking).

let me give example.

in controller:

$data = arr::extract($this->request->post(), array('username', 'password', 'password_repeatedly', 'email')); seek { orm::factory('user')->sign_up($data); $this->request->redirect('sign-in'); } catch(orm_validation_exception $exception) { $errors = $exception->errors('error_messages'); echo 'there errors:<br />'; echo debug::dump($errors); exit; }

variable $data array need validate. method sign_up() custom method in orm model create user. sorry "echo'es" , "exit's" in controller - i'm debugging...

my orm model looks this:

public function rules() { homecoming array( 'username' => array( array('not_empty') ), 'hashed_password' => array( array('not_empty') ), 'email' => array( array('not_empty') ) ); } public function sign_up($post) { $salt = $this->_hurricane->generate_salt(); $hashed_password = $this->_hurricane->hash_password($post['password'], $salt); $this->username = $post['username']; $this->hashed_password = $hashed_password; $this->salt = $salt; $this->email = $post['email']; $this->save(); }

i want check 3 elements of variable $data not empty! said, checks elements before orm::save() called. , if ypu closer @ code... in custom method have set hashed_password something. create hashed. problem if user haven't submitted password (i phone call field 'password' in html form, 'hashed_password' in database)... if no password submitted - hash empty string lead hash anyway. hashed_password set!

then validation turned on orm::save() , in conclusion - password never can perchance empty! how deal this? validation in controller? how deal it? maybe little bit different logic?

p.s. other suggestions code appreciated. in advice!

i don't see 'wrong' current method.

you can add together status (model_user::signup()) check if requested password empty before hashing (ofc, not setting @ if is), it'll remain empty , create validation fail.

one more thing can notice here signup method ambiguous, done using normal create() combined filter password (so hashed_password , salt set when it's changed).

imho it's practice utilize conditional rules / filters, depending on current objects' state.
