The form's filters & validation do not act on the parameters in the request.
THe request needs to be passed to the form, which populates it's values, and
then tries to validate it, running the filters & the validators:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.quickstart.html
Do something like:
if ($form->isValid($_POST))
{
echo $form->getValue('searchstr');
// do stuff with validated data ...
}
else
{
$this->view->formResponse = 'Sorry, there was a problem with your
submission. Please check the following:';
}
$this->view->form = $form;
Also, storing the form in the registry is a very odd thing to do - there may
be a good reason you're doing it, but I can't think of what it might be at
the moment, so think carefully about whether this is hte correct approach.
Might be worth getting a copy of the Zend Framework In Action book, which
has a lot of good stuff & examples about how to put a ZF app together.
Cheers,
Mark
