Checks if value is between min and max length

If only one numeric value is passed as argument, this value is interpreted as min length value.

Supported arguments are:

  • (integer)min: Minimum length of submitted value
  • (integer)max: Maximum length of submitted value

Usage examples: // at least 10 characters $item->addRule('NumericRange', array('min' => 10));

// effectively the same as addRule('mandatory') $item->addRule('NumericRange', array('min' => 1));

// 0 to 10 characters $item->addRule('NumericRange', array('max' => 10));

// 5 to 10 characters $item->addRule('NumericRange', array('min' => 5, 'max' => 10));

 Methods

Constructor

__construct(array $arguments = array()
Inherited

The default error message that is displayed if the rule is violated can be overwritten by $errorMessage.

Parameters

$arguments

array

The rule options.

Returns translated error message of rule

getMessage() : string
Inherited

Returns

stringMessage string

Returns rule type identification string.

getName() : string
Inherited

Returns

stringThe rule name

Sets the error message property.

setMessage(mixed $message) : \Formagic_Rule_Abstract
Inherited

Usually a rule will have one error message string that is used if the validation fails. If neccessary, Formagic_Rule_Abstract::_errorMessage can hold other variables, eg. an array of error messages for different outcomes of the validation process.

Implements a fluent interface pattern.
