I use a custom validator for this functionality. Add it to the
validation chain in the form model:
$confirmPassword = new Zend_Form_Element_Password("password_confirm");
$confirmPassword->setLabel('Confirm Password')
->setDescription('Please re-enter your password.')
->addValidator('PasswordConfirm')
->addValidator('StringLength', false, array(5, 14))
->setAttribs(array('size'=>30))
->setRequired(true);
$this->addElement($confirmPassword);
The custom validator goes in your apps lib. /library/MF/Validate/
PasswordConfirm.php.
This is some code i got off this list or on the Zend website that I
use. It assumes the password confirm field is called "password." I'm
sure a generic one could be made for all confirms.
<?php
require_once 'Zend/Validate/Abstract.php';
class MF_Validate_PasswordConfirm extends Zend_Validate_Abstract
{
const NOT_MATCH = 'notMatch';
protected $_messageTemplates = array(self::NOT_MATCH => 'Passwords do
not match.');
public function isValid($value, $context = null)
{
$value = (string) $value;
$this->_setValue($value);
if (is_array($context)) {
if (isset($context['password']) && ($value ==
$context['password'])) {
return true;
}
} elseif (is_string($context) && ($value == $context)) {
return true;
}
$this->_error(self::NOT_MATCH);
return false;
}
}
Haven't tried the Dojo password box yet but looks cool.

Is it possible to pass the POST variable(s) once instead of twice
when using the identical validator?
What I have is a method in a model that checks a param which is
passed when the form is generated in the controller. Then the
controller (if the request is post) runs isValid($_POST).
This works fine I just wish there was a way to access the post
variable from the same $_POST array that is sent using isValid
instead of passing variables twice to the form object (model).
public function getAccountCreateForm($postPass = null)
{
// Add a password form element
$password = new
Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_PasswordTextBox('password');
$password->setLabel('Password:')
->setRequired(true)
->setTrim(true)
->setInvalidMessage('Please provide a valid
password');
$form->addElement($password);
// Add a confirm password form element
$confirmPassword = new Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_PasswordTextBox(
'confirmPassword');
$confirmPassword->setLabel('Confirm Password:')
->setRequired(true)
->setTrim(true)
->setInvalidMessage('Please provide a valid
password')
->addValidator('identical',
true,
array($postPass));
$form->addElement($confirmPassword);
}
