Zend Form Custom Validation Path issues?

You have to add the directory where you have your custom validators to your form elements prefix path. For example: $elementPrefixPaths = array( array( array( 'prefix' => 'My_Validate_', 'path' => 'My/Validate', // 'application/validators' in your case 'type' => 'validate', ) ) ); $form->addElementPrefixPaths($elementPrefixPaths); // or, if your're inside the form, // $this->addElementPrefixPaths($elementPrefixPaths) // before any elements make use of the validator The 'path' should be in your include path. You have to do the same with your custom filters.

Also there is a similar approach for custom decorators and elements (which use the method setPrefixPaths() instead) Read more here Your path is 'application/validators', but it would be better to follow ZF convention on class naming and path mirroring; as such you should put your validator in a directory such as 'My/Validate' You should follow this convention on all custom ZF extensions you develop (filters, helpers, plugins, etc). It will make your life easier in the long run. Also, as a final suggestion, don't use "My_" as your classes prefix, use something more personal, such as "Mem_" (considering your nickname).

I still think my answer here may work for you and is worth a try. Is there a particular reason you don't like this way? Zend Framework - Where should we place our custom Validators?

I would have posted this as a comment, but I don't have enough rep for that yet :(.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
