CTypeValidator

Package	system.validators
Inheritance	class CTypeValidator » CValidator » CComponent
Since	1.0
Version	$Id: CTypeValidator.php 1963 2010-03-25 04:00:48Z qiang.xue $

CTypeValidator verifies if the attribute is of the type specified by type.

The following data types are supported:

integer A 32-bit signed integer data type.
float A double-precision floating point number data type.
string A string data type.
array An array value.
date A date data type.
time A time data type (available since version 1.0.5).
datetime A date and time data type (available since version 1.0.5).

For date type, the property dateFormat will be used to determine how to parse the date string. If the given date value doesn't follow the format, the attribute is considered as invalid.

Property Details

allowEmpty property

public boolean $allowEmpty;

whether the attribute value can be null or empty. Defaults to true, meaning that if the attribute is empty, it is considered valid.

dateFormat property

public string $dateFormat;

the format pattern that the date value should follow. Defaults to 'MM/dd/yyyy'. Please see CDateTimeParser for details about how to specify a date format. This property is effective only when type is 'date'.

datetimeFormat property (available since v1.0.5)

public string $datetimeFormat;

the format pattern that the datetime value should follow. Defaults to 'MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm'. Please see CDateTimeParser for details about how to specify a datetime format. This property is effective only when type is 'datetime'.

timeFormat property (available since v1.0.5)

public string $timeFormat;

the format pattern that the time value should follow. Defaults to 'hh:mm'. Please see CDateTimeParser for details about how to specify a time format. This property is effective only when type is 'time'.

type property

public string $type;

the data type that the attribute should be. Defaults to 'string'. Valid values include 'string', 'integer', 'float', 'array', 'date', 'time' and 'datetime'. Note that 'time' and 'datetime' have been available since version 1.0.5.

Method Details
