======================= Add Validation Messages ======================= The [[Solar_Form::addInvalid()]] method lets you add "validation failed" messages to an element. These will be in addition to the invalidation messages automatically generated when you call [[Solar_Form::validate()]]. Note that this method works with messages on **elements**; if you wish to add messages about the form as a whole, use the [[Solar_Form::$feedback]] public property. ------- Example ------- {{code: php require_once 'Solar.php'; Solar::start('/path/to/config/Solar.config.php'); $form = Solar::factory('Solar_Form'); $elements = array( 'name' => array ( 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Your name:', ), 'email' => array ( 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Email address:', ), ); $form->setElements($elements); // for some reason, we want one message on the 'name' ... $form->addInvalid('name', 'You really should type in your name.'); // ... and two messages on the 'email'. $form->addInvalid('email', array( 'Be sure to type in your email.', 'And make it a real one, no fakes!' )); }} Of course, you can skip all this if you like and add the messages directly as part of the element to begin with: {{code: php $elements = array( 'name' => array ( 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Your name:', 'invalid' => array( 'You really should type in your name.', ), ), 'email' => array ( 'type' => 'text', 'label' => 'Email address:', 'invalid' => array( 'Be sure to type in your email.', 'And make it a real one, no fakes!', ), ), ); }}
