Question

Is it possible to make an array item required when using Zend_Filter_Input:

    $data = array();
    $validators = array(
        'name' => 'NotEmpty'
    );
    $filters = array(
        '*' => 'StringTrim'
    );

    $input = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $data);

    var_dump($input->isValid());

It returns true, while I expect it to be false.

Any ways of doing that?

UPD:

found it:

$validators = array(
    'name' => array(
        'NotEmpty',
        'presence' => 'required' // <-----
    )
);

but for non existing value $input->getErrors(); returns empty array. How to retrieve a proper error message?

Answer 1

Try

if (!$input->isValid()) {
    $errors = $input->getMessages();
}
