Okay, I need a little help here. I have a date that is first checked for a valid date, then checked for after another date. If the date is not valid, the second check is always returned as an error.

Here's my PHP registration:
Code:

      $validator->register_validator('endDateIsValidDate', 'endDate', 'isValidDate', FALSE, FALSE, 'makeDate');
      $validator->register_validator('endDateIsDateAfter', 'endDate:beginDate', 'isDateAfter', FALSE, FALSE, 'makeDate');


Here's my template:
Code:

    {validate page="1" id="endDateIsValidDate" message="<font color='red'>End Date must be a valid date.</font><br/>"}
    {validate page="1" id="endDateIsDateAfter" message="<font color='red'>End Date must be after Begin Date.</font><br/>"}


I've traced it in the SmartyValidate class to the section with the comment
Code:

// already failed, skip this test


It appears that because endDate is already in the $_ret array, the second validation is skipped, never setting the ['valid'] entry in the ['validators'] array. This appearantly is interpretted later as "invalid".

I was able to get everything to work by commenting out that section of the class code, but I'm sure that's not the right answer. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe that this is the same issue as the Topic started here:
http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=5505

My solution right now was to modify the class code within the "_failed_fields" function as such:
Code:

            if(is_array($_ret) && in_array($_full_field, $_ret)) {
                // already failed, skip this test
                $_sess[$_key]['valid'] = 1;  // added this line
                continue;   
            }


What this does is skips further validation on the field in error without posting messages from subsequent validators.

I think the true proper fix should allow for a parameter to be passed to the "is_valid" method as to how to handle subsequent validators on a field once one has failed, or to allow a parameter to be passed to the "register_validator" method that specifies that this validation should occur even if a prior validation failed. Or possibly a combination of both.

Any thoughts?

In this case it skips other validators for this field...
I thought 'halt' parameters was for it.

Halt, will terminate ALL other validation rules in the template, not only for the form field. So notice that we are talking about two different type of halts.

Yes, I got it already.

Seems the solution from mckneisler is quite good.
