Hi, I have written a custom validate Class
class StringEqual extends Zend_Validate_Abstract { const NOT_EQUAL = "string"; protected $_messageTemplates = array(self::NOT_EQUAL => "'%value%' Missmatched value"); public function isValid ($value) { $this->_setValue($value['password']); if ($value['password'] !== $value['password2']) { $this->_error(self::NOT_EQUAL); return false; } return true; } } The validation works ok, but I never get the right error message, the error message array always contains Here is how I am using the above class $validators = array( "username" => array("NotEmpty", "Alpha", 'presence' => 'required'), "password" => array("NotEmpty", "Alpha", "presence" => 'required', new StringEqual(), "fields" => array("password", "password2")) ); $validator = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $data); When the StringEqual validation class fails in the errors it says Array ( [password] => Array ( [0] => string ) ) I can't seem to get the actual error message to show up. Maybe I am not doing something right, any help is greatly appreciated. Also I am not sure how to set 2 Values in the $_templateMessage I also tried doing the following and it also didn¹t work, $this->_createMessage(self::NOT_EQUAL, $value['password'] . " Not Equal to " . $value['password2']); Before the call to _error(); Regards Nayana -- Nayana Hettiarachchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent using the Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac Test Drive.
