name: Bug report
about: Bug (misleading code) in example for "Validating $_POST data"
Describe the bug
The following code is mentioned in "Validating $_POST data":
`public function updateUser(int $userID)
{
if (! $this->validate([
'email' => "required|is_unique[users.email,id,{$userID}]",
'name' => 'required|alpha_numeric_spaces'
]))
{
return view('users/update', [
'errors' => $this->errors
]);
}
// do something here if successful...
}`
This code gives the impression that the controller class has a variable called "$errors" but this is not the case.
A solution is to use \Config\Services::validation()->getErrors() instead of $this->errors.
PS: The same applies for the second example code in the same section!
