I wanted to make a function for the validation of postal code to customize an error message if possible. I wonder if you have an idea.

Here's an idea of my function:

// checks postal code format L4X-1S9 

$regex = '/[a-z][0-9][a-z][- ]?[0-9][a-z][0-9]$/i'; 

if( preg_match($regex, $zip) ) 

  echo "Valid postal code";

Grocerycrud validation is based on codeigniter's base validation rules. In codeigniter - there are ways to add custom validation. Use them, that should give you appropriate solution for the same.

Well mehedicse60

The solution for you is to use jquery.mask 

 

If you can attach jquery.mask to that field and configur it not accept it - it should work absolutely fantastic

 

Happy GCing :)

/****
Add this in your controller:

function zip_check($zip){
$regex = '/[a-z][0-9][a-z][- ]?[0-9][a-z][0-9]$/i';
if( !preg_match($regex, $zip) ) {
  $this->form_validation->set_message('zip_check', 'Zip code is invalid!');
  return false;
}
}

and in your form rule:
$this->form_validation->set_rules('pass_no','Code postal', 'required|callback_zip_check');
