Filtering !== validation... For multi checkboxes, radios, and multi-selects, we have an "Explode" validator, that is used to validate each element of an array against another validator chain. However, we do not pre-filter the values _in_ the array. The reason is that with the above form types, if the value is not valid, somebody is most likely tampering with the input values before submitting them. Currently, if you want to filter all values of a submitted array, you'll need to write a pre-processor of some sort to do that. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | [email protected] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
