I guess we’ll polish some things in within the next few weeks but in general I like it. However – I’ve slept only 4 hours tonight, after 18 hours of final spurt and still have another time critical task on my list …

coffee!

1. Create an Validator which always fails.
2. Check right after the isPost() condition if “your condition” matches.
3. Assign the “will-always-fail” validator to your element and you’re done.

// save as 'Zend/Validate/CustomError.php
require_once 'Zend/Validate/Abstract.php';

class Zend_Validate_CustomError extends Zend_Validate_Abstract  {

    const SOME_ERROR = 'someError';

	// configure to whatever you like, or override it with setMessage()
    protected $_messageTemplates = array(
        self::SOME_ERROR => "is not valid"
    );

	// sets the element as invalid
    public function isValid($value)
    {
        $valueString = (string) $value;
        $this->_setValue($valueString);
		$this->_error();
        return false;
    }

}

And in your form controller add right after the isPost() condition:

if(sizeof($_POST['yourelement'])>2) {
	$customError = new Zend_Validate_CustomError();
	$customError->setMessage('You must select less than 2');
	self::getElement('yourelement')->addValidator($customError);
}

At my work we usually do Java/JSP stuff but a few weeks I did a small PHP Job here and today I made the statistic in mysql. Actually nothing special but a welcome change if you imagine stupid JSP Struts tasks day in and day out and boring style-stasi requests from project managers and so on. But I am hip to the spirit and love computer work – or at least the creative-innovative part of it – the rest I try to reject and forget. Actually it is always the same – some project manager come up with a kick ass idea and then during the production it gets reduced to something really boring and forgettable unimportant whatsoever.

My coffee is empty [...] ^^

Nevertheless I am a very kind IT guy and explained the issue to him – So I wrote him that a link to an external resource always consist out of: 1) a protocol name, 2) an instruction for the browser that it is an external resource :// and finally 3) the domain name and last but not least the TLD and optional paths or parameters.

You may call me a fault finder but that’s something that happened not the first time. I guess this is a classic example of: stupid new media. People who are working in the new media should knew what a friggin link is – especially when they are Project Manager of a website!

On the way back we’ll visit my family, especially my Grandma, Mom and Cousin, because I haven’t seen them for quite a while. I guess 2 Years for now and plus that: my Dear haven’t seen Hamburg yet! Haha, that’s a lot of things to do in just 5 Days. 3 Cities and approximately 1.000 km by car – but the beach will excuse everything
