Thomas, this sounds like a job for a pre-filter, not the validator. A true integer has *no* punctuation. You can throw a Digits filter into the form, and then run an Int validator to validate. The representation provided back to the user should be part of the decorator and/or view output -- not the validation logic itself. I'm really thinking at this point it makes most sense to simply document strategies for validating localized user input instead of building this into the validators themselves. > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Webster" <[email protected]> > To: "Zend Framework - General" <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 6:02 PM > Subject: Re: [fw-general] Strange Zend_Form cache problem, please URGENT > > >> Well, I don't think that should apply, though. >> >> Validate_Int implies that you are validating to the native int >> datatype, not a currency.
