Hi all! I got two questions about validating form data. The first one might be the simplest. I've got a regular expression which checks if an e-mail address is correct:
new Zend_Validate_Regex("/^$|^[-a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+(\.[-a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+)*@(([a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9]+)?){1,63}\.)+([a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9]+)?){2,63}$/") I've added the / at the beginning and end because other expressions wouldn't work without it. This expression works when I use it in "ereg" for example. I now get the error: "Internal error matching pattern {the pattern}". Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or what would be a good expression (but I don't want to make this a script request!). The second question is about fields that get a <br /> when the value was not right regarding the validator. I do something like: // Apply the filter to the post data. $oFilter = new Zend_Filter_Input($aFilters, $aValidators, $this->_request->getPost(), $aOptions); // Save the data in the class var (escaped / html removed). $this->_aCheckedData['relation'] = $oFilter->getEscaped(); When there are errors I show the form again. I try to print the data again (the data I put in _aCheckedData['relation'] here), and now the field that was not correct, contains "<br />", in stead of the value the user filled in. What could I be doing wrong here? If you need more information, please ask.
