For a change-my-password thing I want to validate the "current password"
field: not empty, and matching the value currently
stored in the database. I have a custom StringEquals validator pretty much
stolen from the example in the docs. It compares the submitted value to the
one in the db (there's no hashing of passwords in this instance) So:
$validators = array(
'password' => array(
'NotEmpty',
array(new
Model_Validator_StringEquals,'fields'=>array('password','db_password')),
'messages'=>array(
'Password field is required',
'Password is incorrect'
),
'breakChainOnFailure' => true
)
);
results in: Object of class Model_Validator_StringEquals could not be
converted to string in [...]Zend/Filter/Input.php on line 908. However,
passing in a string instead of an object, thus
$validators = array(
'password' => array(
'NotEmpty',
array('Model_Validator_StringEquals','fields'=>array('password','db_password')),
'messages'=>array(
'Password field is required',
'Password is incorrect'
),
'breakChainOnFailure' => true
)
results in Plugin by name Model_Validator_StringEquals was not found in the
registry
Not that it does work in its own rule like so:
$validators = array(
'correctPassword'=>array(
new Model_Validator_StringEquals(),
//'Model_Validator_StringEquals' fails with "plugin not
found"
'fields'=>array('db_password','password'),
'messages'=>'Current password field is incorrect',
),
);
but that isn't how I want to do it (-: . Any hints?
Thanks
