Looking at the code of Zend_Validate_Abstract a bit more, it seems that
I can't have exactly what I propose unless Zend_Filter_Input is being
modified as well, because Zend_Validate_Abstract right now does not know
about other fields than the one it's currently processing.
So, there's two possibilities to achieve this:
a) the hard way - modify Zend_Filter_Input (ZFI) to allow passing of
ZFI-instances to the validator objects, so that these can query the
values of other fields in the input array.
This would allow validation across fields like I proposed in my
previous mail.
b) the easy way - just add a very simple validator called "Equals" and
inject the other field's value at validator definition time, like so:
$f = array();
$v = 'password' => array(
array('Equals', $_POST['password2')
);
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($f, $v, $_POST);
if ($input->hasInvalid()) {
echo "Uh-oh, the password fields do not contain the same value!";
}
Solution b) would do fine for my purposes alone, but it feels kinda ugly.
What would you others think/recommend?

Hey Jason,
that's where I was looking and couldn't find any. Sure, I can write my
own validator, I just couldn't believe I was the first one finding the
obvious gap in the existing validators.
What I need is a validator that compares one field's value to another.
Something along the lines of:
$f = array();
$v = 'password' => array(
array('SameAsField', 'password2')
);
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($f, $v, $_POST);
if ($input->hasInvalid()) {
echo "Uh-oh, the password fields do not contain the same value!";
}
Now, is the field "password" does not have the same value as the field
"password2", then an error message is shown.
Am I the only one finding this useful? If not, how does one go about
adding validators? Is a proposal needed or should I just send the code
to the package maintainer?

Hi Markus,
Do you think the Standard Validation Classes is useful
for you?

Or you might write Validators yourself to fit your
needs. see here:

Hi there,
quite often one has to make a form where a user can
create a user account. It's customary to add two password fields,
and add a validation rule so that when the entries in both fields do not
match, an error message is presented to the user.
I was searching for such a validation rule for use
with Zend_Filter_Input, but couldn't find any. Am I
missing something? Or would you guys do it entirely differently?
