PHP Validation for numeric entry

[movingelite]

Good Morning,

 

We recently had a Joomla based component designed for our company and we're having a validation issue. Our programmer is on vacation for a week so we're seeking some assistance adjusting the rule.

 

The field is a numeric entry called "Minimum Hours" and should receive a user input of 1, 2, 3 or 4. The problem is that 0 is allowed but shouldn't be. I pulled the snipet below from the component php file which I believe likely contains the verification rule. The problem is that I don't know php or how to adjust the rule. I'm sure I could try a few common sense approaches but I'd prefer not to screw up the application 

 

Any input would greatly be appreciated!

 

if(isNaN($('#minimum_hours_charge').val()) || $.trim($('#minimum_hours_charge').val()).length==0 || parseInt($('#minimum_hours_charge').val())<0)
	{
		$('#minimum_hours_charge').get(0).focus();
		return false;
	}

That's javascript not PHP

 

The likely change you will need to make is to change

parseInt($('#minimum_hours_charge').val())<0

so that 0 is 1

Hi Jay,

 

Sorry, I guess I really showed how little I know! I appreciate the info, that did work. That was also my common sense guess but as I mentioned I didn't want to mess anything up.

 

I appreciate it!
