I’m using Zend_Form with a registration page. I have a checkbox, that if checked, will show additional billing fields. In my form instance, I only want those extra fields to be setRequired(true) if that checkbox is checked. Is there a way to do this? The problem now is I have to set all the billing fields as setRequired(false), but if the user checks the checkbox, the logic won’t care if the fields are empty because they aren’t required.
OK, so here is what I ended up doing. I created the billing information as a Zend_Form_SubForm and added it to the main Register form. Then, in my controller, on post, I check to see if the checkbox is checked. If its not, then I remove the subform from the main form and validate the form. If there is an error then I re-add the subform so the fields will show up when the form is re-drawn. Hopefully that will help somebody.
