Hi,
we're using Smarty for a professional site with lots of forms. Nearly every page has one form and they all require validation. We use SmartyValidate, which we think is promising.

Unfortunately, we've run into problems, when we go from one form-page to another. Sometimes the validation-criteria follow the user to the next page, and we get errors since the validation-criteria from the previous form aren't fullfilled in the new form.

We're following the readme-file very closely:

session_start();
require('Smarty.class.php');
require('SmartyValidate.class.php');

$smarty =& new Smarty;

// required initialization
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty);

if(empty($_POST)) {
$smarty->display('form.tpl');
} else {
// validate after a POST
if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST)) {
// no errors, done with SmartyValidate
SmartyValidate::disconnect(); <- should reset
$smarty->display('success.tpl');
} else {
// error, redraw the form
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('form.tpl');
}
}

We've tried giving the forms different names and registering them with smartyvalidate with the command:

SmartyValidate::register_form('myform', true);

But that doesn't help!??!

Has anyone stumbled across this problem and some likely solutions? We couldn't find anything in the forum that helps.

Please help, we'd hate to give up SmartyValidate because of this, but we have a deadline in the beginning of january. Crying or Very sad

J.S.

If the user is never validating more than one form at any given time, then naming each form separately shouldn't be necessary. The important thing is to reset the validation data anytime you start a new form.

SmartyValidate::reset();

That should wipe out any existing form validation info. Resetting the validation data via SmartyValidate::disconnect() may not be reliable since the user may not always finish a given form.

I have tried to copy and paste
Code:
SmartyValidate::reset();
into my code, but all I get is
Quote:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: reset() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\savvysurveyor\index.php on line 36


I have just started using Smarty and SmartyValidate today, so I could be missing something fairly obvious.

I have version 2.2 of SmartyValidate and version 2.6.6 of Smarty installed.

oops, I was thinking of another add-on. use

SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);

That will reset the form validation session data. Only set the "true" flag on the initial drawing of a form (not every invocation.) Alternately:

SmartyValidate::register_form('default',true);

will also reset the session data for the given form name.
