Question

Here is an example of setting up the validators as explained in the Manual http://zendframework.com/manual/en/zend.filter.input.html

$validators = array('account' => 'Alpha');

This checks that the input field is on Alphabets.

The question is, how do i find out the other options that can be used for Validating apart from “Alpha”

Where can I find the other Validation constants?

Answer 1

The page you are looking at is the manual page for Zend_Filter, you’d be better reading the Zend_Validate page.

If you look at this manual page, you will see a list of standard validator classes. You can use any of these as an option in $validators. You just use the name of the validator as the option.

For example to use the Date validator you would do this:-

$validators = array('account' => 'Date');

You can also find a list of validators if you look in your library/Zend/Validate folder.
