I'm thinking of adding a "halt" parameter. example:

{validate ... field="foo" halt=true message="foo is wrong"}
{validate ... field="bar" halt=true message="bar is wrong"}
{validate ... field="blah" halt=true message="blah is wrong"}

When one validator fails, it would halt execution of any more validators on the form. This way you can get the error message from the first validator if they all would fail.

My question, would it be better to default the value of halt to true or false? In otherwords, when a validator fails, should the rest of the validators be tested (by default) ?

An alternative would be the opposite approach:

{validate ... field="foo" continue=true}
{validate ... field="bar" continue=true}
{validate ... field="blah"}

This implies that validators do not continue (same as halt) by default, and you must specify that they do.

would be a nice feature as well.
I would expect the validation to test all fields as a default (so the user can correct any bad field in one go).

halt better than continue.

2.1 beta 1 is now available from the website. I moved from 2.0 to 2.1 since some features were added.

You can now register objects with SmartyValidate and use them as custom criteria:

// in PHP script
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty);
SmartyValidate::register_object('myobj',$myobj);
SmartyValidate::register_criteria('myobj->foobar');

// in template
{validate ... criteria="isCustom" function="myobj->foobar"}

Yes, halt defaults to false.

Next release, SmartyValidate will handle arrays of data correctly. Specifically, transformations and criteria will be applied to each element of an array. Criteria will fail if any element fails. Of course, you will be able to specify if you really want the entire array applied to the criteria/transform:

{validate ... criteria="@notEmpty"}

I have it working, just need to clean some things up.

There is now a SmartyValidate repository for those that want the bleeding-edge version.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpinsider.com:/export/CVS login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpinsider.com:/export/CVS checkout SmartyValidate

There is no password, just hit return when prompted for one.

I've got a question, is the removing of the non validated variables built in now?

For people who have never used a CVS as a command line tool (like me) go to this site:
https://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=83&expandFolder=83&folderID=80

And download any stable version. Site is a bit slow, anyway you will get a warning when you first run the command that mohrte has written because you don't have an access file yet. Just ignore it or run it again (like i did) and you won't get an error. Next you can run the update cmd to download the CVS version.

I used "cvs-1-11-14.zip" as my CVS client.
