Smarty

Heya - i have the following validation logic for different forms that are displayed one after another through one php-class:

[php:1:43ff02986c]
if(empty($_POST)) {
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator1);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator2);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator3);
$smarty->display('mytempl_1.tpl');
}else{
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty);

if ($_POST['step'] == 2){
if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST)) {
SmartyValidate::disconnect(); // disconnect to get rid of old validators
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty); // new connect after getting rid of old validators

SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator4);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator5);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator6);

$smarty->display('mytempl_2.tpl');
}else{
//redisplay form 1
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('mytempl_1.tpl');
}

}

if ($_POST['step'] == 3){
if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST)) {
SmartyValidate::disconnect(); // disconnect to get rid of old validators
SmartyValidate::connect($smarty); // new connect after getting rid of old validators

SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator7);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator8);
SmartyValidate::register_validator(myValidator9);

$smarty->display('mytempl_3.tpl');
}else{
//redisplay form 2
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('mytempl_2.tpl'); // <------- HERE IT HAPPENS - OLD VALIDATORS (myValidator1-3) BACK IN $_SESSION
}

}

}
[/php:1:43ff02986c]

Now when Form 1 is displayed, [SmartyValidate] in $_SESSION is perfectly filled with my validators (myValidator1-3). Validation works great and Form2 will be shown if the form is valid.

When Form 2 is displayed, [SmartyValidate] in $_SESSION is perfectly filled with my new validators (myValidator4-6). But when i submit the form with invalid values, mytempl_2.tpl will display but shows errors on missing validators: "Warning: Smarty error: validate: validator id 'myValidatorID' is not registered."

And in fact - [SmartyValidate] in $_SESSION suddenly shows my old validators (myValidator1-3) at this point ???.
How can that happen ???
Why are my old validators back at that point ?!?!?!
Why are my new Validators lost ?
Why does it work for Step 1 but nor for Step 2 ?

Thanks so much for any hints !!!!

make sure you reset() the validation class between forms (or steps), or use separate form ids, or assing all validators and use the 'page' features.

i tried exactly what you suggested
No success - my solution was to put everything in different functions - which is a pain in the butt.....
Im close to thinking this has to do with the 64Bit Memory prob of php - as this is running on osx.....
