QuickForms: error in client validation uploading a file

Hi,

I have a form with two rules like these:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$this->file =& $this->addElement('file', 'userfile', 'Imagen:(max:1MB)',
array('size'=>50, 'maxlength'=>100));
$this->file2 =& $this->addElement('file', 'userfile2',
'Documento:(max:2MB)', array('size'=>50, 'maxlength'=>100));
------------------------------------------------------------------------

and two rules:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
$this->addRule('userfile', 'El fichero de imagen es demasiado grande.',
'maxfilesize', 1048576,'client');
$this->addRule('userfile2', 'El fichero es demasiado grande.',
'maxfilesize', 2097152,'client');
------------------------------------------------------------------------

that generates this piece of java script:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
86 value = frm.elements['userfile'].value;
87 if (value != '' && !_ruleCheckMaxFileSize(value, '1048576') && !errFlag['
userfile']) {
88    errFlag['userfile'] = true;
89    _qfMsg = _qfMsg + '\n - El fichero de imagen es demasiado grande.';
90 }
91
92 value = frm.elements['userfile2'].value;
93 if (value != '' && !_ruleCheckMaxFileSize(value, '2097152') && !errFlag['
userfile2']) {
94    errFlag['userfile2'] = true;
95    _qfMsg = _qfMsg + '\n - El fichero es demasiado grande.';
96 }
------------------------------------------------------------------------

and at last the browser get me this error message:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: _ruleCheckMaxFileSize is not defined
Source File: ...
Line: 93
------------------------------------------------------------------------

(at the second call!!) and the client validation is not done at all.


Anyone with any ideas? I didn't find anything out there.

Thanks.
Toni.

This is simply a bug with the client-side validation of file elements in HTML_Quickform
.  The bug was reported here: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=134

The problem is that _ruleCheckMaxFileSize is a PHP function (not a javascrip
t function).  However, the recommendation from the PEAR site is to simply no
t use client-side validation for file elements.

Hope that helps.
