Hi Hash (well, this name already fits the solution ... :) ,
You basically have two options:
- Either prepend a validator that throws out duplicates (i.e. sorts them
into a hash)
- Export a list of already created accounts (i.e, in this run) and check
against that list ... if your current email adress matches already
exists, just skip it and return the unchanged "list of already created
accounts"
Hope that helps!

Dear Agavi Users,
i would like to know how best to remove duplicate post data using a custom
validator. The scenario is that i am posting a form relating to a 'Contact'
entity which has related entities of email addresses.
Currently i have implemented a custom validator with a base="emails[]" and
everything is fine until the user inputs for example, the same email address twice. The
email entity is looked up twice since the validator runs for each item in the emails[]
array. These entities get through to the database and i get a constraint exception in my
Contact-Email link table. I would like my validator to detect and skip any duplicates in
the posted data, but my validator only seems to have the scope of the current item in
emails[].
I guess i could pass the whole emails array as an argument into the validator
and loop over each email removing duplicates first, but then i'm not sure how
to throw an error with the correct context for an email address that is
invalid..

Please advise. thank you.
