God Bless you and your Family….

say if i have 2 text inputs both are dependent on each other,

i.e
1. text box = user name
2. text box = email id

if name is entered then email is mandatory and also to be checked is valid email id and valid name(only alphabets)?

the vice versa of this i.e if email id is entered then name is mandatory and also to be checked is valid name(only alphabets) and is valid email id?

can you help me out how to achieve this?

Thanks

if ($data['datatype'] == ‘radio’) {
$this->option_1->setRequired(true);
}

where datatype is my parent field and radio is the value that need the check if child option_1 field value is not empty.

What do you think about?

$organiser_member = new Zend_Form_Element_Text(‘organiser_member’);
$organiser_member->setLabel(‘* Organiser:’);

// Force empty values through the custom validator!
$organiser_member->setRequired(false);
$organiser_member->setAllowEmpty(false);

// Add the custom validator
$organiser_member->addPrefixPath(‘BC_Validate’, ‘BC/Validate’, ‘validate’);
$organiser_member->addValidator(‘EventOrganiser’, false);
$form->addElement($organiser_member);

Now the custom validator is always called, whether the input ‘organiser_member’ is set or not.

// Add optional second validator if first pass form is ok
if ($result == true and $this->getValue(‘type’)==’MEM’) {
$element = $this->getElement(‘type’);
$element->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Date());
$result = parent::isValid($data);
}

return $result;
}
