Jorn,
I've been looking at the remote method of your Validation plugin, but
was wondering if its possible to send all fields in a form and return
the error within the php validation file like so:
<?php
$request = trim(strtolower($_REQUEST['value']));
$emails = array('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]',
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]');
$valid = 'true';
foreach($emails as $email) {
if( strtolower($email) == $request )
$valid = array('email_address' => $request.' is not a valid
email address');
} else {
$valid = array('email_address' => 'true');
}
echo $valid;
?>
I may have to implement my own here as it has a specific/ varied
purpose.
