<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
The function <STRONG>set_field_type</STRONG> declares a data type for a
given form field. This is the type checked by validation
- functions. The types are as follows:
+ functions. The predefined types are as follows:
TYPE_ALNUM
Alphanumeric data. Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument, a
than one list elements with that prefix). Please
notice that the string list is not copied, only a
reference to it is stored in the field. So you should
- avoid to use a list that lives in automatic variables
+ avoid using a list that lives in automatic variables
on the stack.
TYPE_INTEGER
Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument controlling the preci-
sion, a fourth <STRONG>long</STRONG> argument constraining minimum
value, and a fifth <STRONG>long</STRONG> constraining maximum value.
- If the maximum value is less or equal the minimum
- value, the range is simply ignored. On return the
- field buffer is formatted according to the <STRONG>printf</STRONG>
+ If the maximum value is less than or equal to the
+ minimum value, the range is simply ignored. On return
+ the field buffer is formatted according to the <STRONG>printf</STRONG>
format specification ".*ld", where the '*' is
replaced by the precision argument. For details of
the precision handling see <STRONG>printf's</STRONG> man-page.
Requires a third <STRONG>int</STRONG> argument controlling the preci-
sion, a fourth <STRONG>double</STRONG> argument constraining minimum
value, and a fifth <STRONG>double</STRONG> constraining maximum value.

+ If your system supports locales, the decimal point
character to be used must be the one specified by
- your locale. If the maximum value is less or equal

TYPE_REGEXP
- Regular expression data. Requires a regular expres-
- sion <STRONG>(char</STRONG> <STRONG>*)</STRONG> third argument; the data is valid if
- the regular expression matches it. Regular expres-
- sions are in the format of <STRONG><A HREF="regcomp.3x.html">regcomp(3x)</A></STRONG> and
- <STRONG><A HREF="regexec.3x.html">regexec(3x)</A></STRONG>. Please notice that the regular expres-
- sion must match the whole field. If you have for
- example an eight character wide field, a regular
- expression "^[0-9]*$" always means that you have to
- fill all eight positions with digits. If you want to
- allow fewer digits, you may use for example "^[0-9]*

TYPE_IPV4
An Internet Protocol Version 4 address. This requires
