Thanks for the help Matthew, its really helping me get my head around it.
So i iterate over the array and Im getting the messages as needed.
my final issue
I have a select item that i create in Controller and populate it dynamically. i then add it to my _campaignCreateForm. but when i run the validation, i get back that its not part of the Haystack?
Ive found the InArray in the Zend Libs where this is set, but im not sure why its not being added.
if I setMessage() and then addElement to the _campaignCreateForm. i would think that it would become part of the isValid() method when invoked..?
CODE:
//******CAMPAIGN CREATE FORM*******
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/config/campaignCreateForm.ini');
$this->_campaignCreateForm = new Zend_Form($config->advertiser->campaignCreate);
$keywordAssignSelect = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('keywordAssignSelect', array('multiOptions' => array(), 'label'=>'Assign a Keyword'));
$keywordAssignSelect->removeDecorator('HtmlTag');
$keywordAssignSelect->removeDecorator('Label');
$keywordAssignSelect->addValidators(
array(
array(
'validator' => 'NotEmpty',
'breakChainOnFailure' => true),
array('validator' => 'Alnum'),
));
$keywordAssignSelect->getValidator('Alnum')->setMessage('Keywords can only contain Numbers or Letters.');
$keywordAssignSelect->getValidator('NotEmpty')->setMessage('You must have a keyword to establish a campaign.');
$keywordAssignSelect->setRequired(true);
$this->_campaignCreateForm->addElement($keywordAssignSelect);
and this was the Action method code where is do the iteration
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
$values = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
if ($this->_fonrootsAdvertiser) {
if ($this->_campaignCreateForm->isValid($this->getRequest()->getPost())) {
$campaign = $this->_fonrootsAdvertiser->createCampaign($values);
$this->flash(("Your Campaign has been created"), '', '/advertiser/campaigns');
} else {
foreach ($this->_campaignCreateForm->getMessages() as $messages)
{
foreach ($messages as $message) {
$this->flash(("Invalid Data: $message\n"), 'error', '/advertiser/create-campaign');
}
}
}
}

If anyone could point me in a good direction that would be great
Im trying to get this form to validate
here is my ini -
; Name Field
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.type = "text"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.label = "Name:"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.notempty.validator = "NotEmpty"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.notempty.options.messages.isEmpty = "A Campaign Name required."
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.notempty.breakChainOnFailure = true
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.alpha.validator = "Alpha"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.alpha.options.messages.notAlpha = "Invalid Campaign Name. Can only contain letter."
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.strlen.validator = "StringLength"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.strlen.options.min = "3"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.strlen.options.messages.stringLengthTooShort = "Campaign Name must be between 3 and 8 characters."
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.strlen.options.max = "8"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.validators.strlen.options.messages.stringLengthTooLong = "Campaign Name must be between 3 and 8 characters."
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.filters.ucase.filter = "StringToUpper"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.required = true
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.attribs.tabIndex = "60"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.attribs.alt = "Create campaign campaign name field"
advertiser.campaignCreate.elements.name.options.decorators.type = "ViewHelper"
This is my view -
<div class="form_data_wrap">
<div class="form_data_label">Name:</div>
<div class="form_data_value">
<?php echo $this->campaignCreateForm->name; ?>
</div>
</div>
this is my Controller code -
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH . '/config/campaignCreateForm.ini');
$this->_campaignCreateForm = new Zend_Form($config->advertiser->campaignCreate);
But im at a loss as to how the validations work?
thanks
