I find Zend to be very difficult to find good resources/plugins for (compared to, say, jQuery), so it’s been refreshing to find this. I just changed the namespace to the one I’m using and it worked straight away, so thanks a lot for your efforts.

Thanks! I was looking exactly for this! The documentation did not help how to pass in the parameters, but this tutorial helped a lot!

Great article. I’ll be reworking some similar code tonight when I get home.

I had trouble getting this working, but eventually found my bug. I made the mistake of using a directory named ‘validate’ for my custom validators. This caused my addPrefixPath to look like:
$this->addPrefixPath(‘Validate’, ‘Validate/’, ‘validate’);

This had the bad side effect of looking for all the default Zend validators in my ../Validate/ directory.

The fix is to make sure your custom validators have a different/unique name/path. In the above example, the ‘FKK_’ makes the path unique, and avoids my problem:
$this->addPrefixPath(‘FKK_Validate’, ‘FKK/Validate/’, ‘validate’);

I renamed my Validate directory to CustomValidate, and all is well:

$this->addPrefixPath(‘FKK_Validate’, ‘FKK/Validate/’, ‘validate’);

Thanks for the tutorial!

I had trouble getting it working without my own class… eventually just stuck it in the Zend folder…

Then I realised that I’ll absolutely need my own class for each element so I went ahead and made them (well, started) and its working great. Probably should toss that out there that you basicly DO want to make your own class, no matter what. Base elements are… ugly!
