When filling out a publishing form, users have the option to include one or multiple media items by simply copying and pasting <iframe> tags into the designated text fields.
I am seeking a solution to ensure that only valid <iframe> tags are entered into this form by the user.
My attempt at using an @Assert\Regex in my entity below has not been successful, as it validates any data input regardless of its validity.
To create the regex pattern, I utilized the PHP Live Regex online tool which showed that the regex worked correctly.
- What might be the issue with this regex?
- Is utilizing
@Assert\Regexconsidered good practice in this scenario?
namespace App\Entity;
use App\Repository\MediaRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;
/**
* @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass=MediaRepository::class)
*/
class Media
{
// ...
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
* @Assert\NotNull()
* @Assert\NotBlank()
* @Assert\Regex(
* pattern="/<iframe[^>]*>\s*<\/iframe>/",
* message="Please enter a valid iframe tag"
* )
*/
private $iframe;
