Hey there,
I'm currently taking my first steps with Zend_Form. Previously, I've
used Zend_Filter_Input for all my validation needs.
I have a nice validator chain generator for ActiveRecord-like objects,
so that I don't need to write all validation rules by hand. The
resulting objects are not only used to validate forms, but also incoming
data from other data sources.
I had always hoped I could reuse my existing Zend_Filter_Input objects
once I switch to Zend_Form for handling web forms, but I can't seem to
find any information on how to do this - is it at possible?
Something along the lines of:
$validatorChain = $dataObject->getValidators();
/* @var $validatorChain Zend_Filter_Input */
$form = new Zend_Form();
$form->setValidators($validatorChain);
Or will I have to recreate all filter rules whenever I want to use
Zend_Form? Having two different mechanisms for that would not be an
optimal solution (to put it nicely :-)).
CU
