Validation giving error in Joomla 2.5

Question

I am using Joomla 2.5 user registration form. I added manually one more fields for user phone number, and I am doing server side validation.

Code is : registration.xml

<form
      addrulepath="/administrator/components/com_user/models/rules"
      >
     <field 
     name="pnumber" 
     type="text"
    description="Enter your valid Number"
    label="Phone number:"
    required="true"
    size="30"
    hint="EX:080-12345678"
    class="inputbox validate-mobile"

    />

and I have created validation file in administrator\components\com_users\models\rules\mobile.php

code is :

    <?php


     defined('JPATH_BASE') or die;

     jimport('joomla.form.formrule');


     class JFormRuleMobile extends JFormRule
     {


     public function mobile(& $element, $value, $group = null, & $input = null, & $form = null)
     {
     return preg_match("/^\+{0,1}[0-9]{6,14}$/",$value);
     }
  }

  ?>

When I submit the form "Validation Rule missing: mobile" error is coming. What is the problem?

Answer 2

Try the following:

Add validate="mobile" to your <field> in the XML file

Then change the mobile.php to the following:

<?php

defined('JPATH_BASE') or die;
jimport('joomla.form.formrule');

class JFormRuleMobile extends JFormRule {

    protected $regex = '^\+?\d{6,14}$';

}

Let me know what the outcome of this is.
