figured it out , i think.
I changed my construct function to:
public function __construct($fieldsToCompare =array()){
if(is_array($fieldsToCompare)){
foreach($fieldsToCompare as $field){
echo $field;
exit;
$this->_fieldsToCompare[] = $field;
}
}else{
$this->_fieldsToCompare[] = (string)$fieldsToCompare;
}
}
No i have to see in my further code if i can use it since i need to make it
to a zend_date object later on in my isValid function.
