Re: [fw-general] Zend_Filter_Input and messages

[Paul Fitzpatrick]

Hi,

The intention is to create a custom message template for missing input 
values for Zend_Filter_Input.  I would hope to set the 'notEmptyMessage' 
meta attribute in the $options array getting fed to Zend_Filter_Input.  
I thought the meta attribute would have allowed me to create default 
messages for every missing input value, but it did not work, I kept 
receiving default messages from some validators.


Some validator types (Digits, Alnum) have a notEmpty validator whose 
message is used instead of the notEmptyMessage message template I 
defined in the options array.


After a few hours of puzzlement, I checked the bugs affecting 
Zend_Filter_Input and yes there is a bug report for it.
I should have checked the outstanding bugs, something I will remember to 
do next time because I did spend a chunk of time wondering if I was 
doing something wrong.


The bug: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-1912

The workaround is to set each message type manually, a bit of pain and 
extra code but the fix in the Zend framework should be coming soon I hope.


//  Works.
$validators = array(
   'month' = array(
   'Digits',   
   array('Between', array(1, 12)),
   'messages' = array(   
   array( Zend_Validate_Digits::STRING_EMPTY = A month 
value is required, Zend_Validate_Digits::NOT_DIGITS = Month must only 
consist of numbers or letters ),   
   'Month must be between 1 and 12'   
   )

   )
   );

Thanks.
Paul

I did not fully understand what you are trying to achieve here ?

Do you try without success to change an error message ? To allow an
empty value ? To disallow an empty value ?

I know its bad discussion etiquette, but does anyone have a possible  
solution to my problem below?  I have tried it with 1.5 RC 1 and still 
have the same issue.

I am having some issues with the custom messaging and Zend Input Filter. 
Probably something obvious I am missing, but a search couldn't help me find

a solution.  Some Code:

// 
$validators = array(
'email' = array('EmailAddress', 'presence'='required',
,'allowEmpty'=false ),
'month' = array('Digits', 'presence'='required', ,'allowEmpty'=false,
array('Between', 1, 10) )
);


$options = array(
'missingMessage' = Field '%field%' is required,
'notEmptyMessage' = A non-empty value is required for field '%field%'

);
 
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input(null, $validators);

$input-setOptions($options);
$input-setData($_POST);

if ($input-hasInvalid() || $input-hasMissing()) {
  $invalidFields = $input-getInvalid();
  Zend_Debug::dump($invalidFields);

/*
Produces - 
array(2) {

  [email] = array(1) {
[emailAddressInvalid] = string(71) '' is not a valid email address
in the basic format [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  }
  [month] = array(2) {
[stringEmpty] = string(21) '' is an empty string
[notBetween] = string(43) '' is not between '1' and '10',
inclusively
  }
}
*/
}
// 

I was under the impression that my custom messages would replace the  '' is
an empty string .
And to avoid the other error messages appearing, display empty ' ' field
values I need to chain the validators correct?

Thanks!
