My specific concern is with Zend_Validate_EmailAddress and host name
validation. In the case of an input like "exam...@examplecom" (missing
period in the host name), the validator returns 3 distinct error messages.
Zend_Validate_EmailAddress sets its own message for host name validation
failure, but it also pulls in all error messages (in this case, 2) from the
Zend_Validate_Hostname instance it uses.
Now, showing the user 3 error messages that say essentially the same thing
("Your email address appears to be invalid") seems a bit much.
Keep in mind that this is not a question about *customizing* validator
messages. I use Zend_Translate for that purpose, but, in my case, I'm still
left with 3 identical error messages. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way
to simply "throw away" specific error messages. (On a whim, I tried setting
the message templates to NULL, but that just ends up returning an empty
string.)
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
