The example was in my first email:
$this->setValidator('mpn', new sfValidatorAnd(array(
new sfValidatorString(array('min_length' => 5, 'max_length' => 64,
'required' => false)),
new sfValidatorRegex(array('pattern' =>
'/^(\s+)?[\w-\#\/]+(\s+)?$/', 'required' => false))
)));
If the field is empry, I want the complex sfValidatorAnd to pass and
if the field has data, I want it to be validated by both the string
validator and the regex validator.
