Zend_Validator Question?

Question

Hi,

how to validate letters and whitespaces using Zend Framework ?

Answer 1

i think Zend_Validate_Regex is best for this situation

Answer 2

The Zend Framework does have a Zend_Validate_Alpha (as well as an alphanumeric version).

Normally it doesn't allow white space, but if you pass a true into the constructor of the Zend_Validate_Alpha class it will allow whitespace. Same with Zend_Validate_Alnum.

For example:

$validator = new Zend_Validate_Alpha(true); //will allow whitespace and non number letters
