Zend_Form::isErrors()

[Mark39282]

Hi Matthew,

Just wanted to say thanks for adding isErrors() to Zend_Form. Just that bit
less clutter in my controller actions now I don't need to set an isErrors
variable for the view script to check :)

I noticed above the new isErrors() method is this persistData() method  
without a doc block (r8689):

    public function persistData()
    {
    }

It puzzled me. What is it? Doesn't seem to be referenced by any other code in
the library. In the manual it is in an item list but doesn't explain about
it.

Thanks,
Mark

Plans for future functionality. :-)

My plan is to use it for persisting data in the session between requests
-- which would be useful for multi-page forms. But it was a low priority
feature, so I placed a stub only; there's also a test marked incomplete
for it in the test suite.
