Okay I'll debug my form and post post the bug if / when I find it.
On the same form I can't get my custom validator to work. The validtation
is: if there is a start page, there needs to be an end page and vice versa.
Here is the validator:
class My_Validator_PageNo extends Zend_Validate_Abstract
{
const NO_END = 'noEnd';
const NO_START = 'noStart';
protected $_messageTemplates = array(
self::NO_END => 'A start page has been entered, you must specify an
end page',
self::NO_START => 'An end page has been entered, you must
specify a start
page'
);
public function isValid($value, $context = null)
{
$value = (string) $value;
$this->_setValue($value);
if (!empty($context['startPage'])
&& empty($context['endPage']))
{
$this->_error(self::NO_END);
return false;
}
else if (! empty($context['endPage'])
&& empty($context['startPage']))
{
$this->_error(self::NO_START);
return false;
}
return true;
}
}
I'm testing with '1' as the input value for startPage. While debugging I
found that $context was not set, not even an empty array. What an I missing?
