This is partially for my reference and partially for anyone looking at validating in their Solar_Form forms – here’s the validation methods (as defined in /Solar/Filter.php):
Each of these can be used when defining the form, commonly in the setElements structure like so:
[php]
$form = Solar::factory(‘Solar_Form’);
$form->setElements(array(
‘password’=>array(
‘type’=>’password’,
‘label’=>’password’,
‘require’=>true,
‘valid’=>array(
array(‘notBlank’,’Enter a password!’)
)
)
));
[/php]
#reftable { border-collapse: collapse; }
#reftable td { padding: 3px; border: 1px solid #C0D0D9 }
#reftable td.header { background-color: #C0D0D9 }
