So I figured it out to an extent, but I think I'm still one step off and I
haven't been able to track down the exact syntax for using regex in this
context. I changed the $_validators array to:
****
protected $_validators =
'lname' => array(array('Regex','/[^a-z\'-]/i'))
);
****
And it kind of works, except to the opposite! The regex validator will
return false if I have a clean string (because it doesn't actually match
anything) and true if I have a bad character in there (a 7, for example), so
it validates the wrong way. I assume there's a way to reverse that in ZF,
but I haven't been able to find the correct syntax. Is that possible? Or
do I need to alter the expression itself?
Thanks!
