Agavi Tip: Checking Validation Results

Normally when an input validator fails you’ll just want to show the form again and let FormPopulationFilter do its magic (you do know you can it have re-populate the form and inject error messages into the form, don’t you?-). But occasionally you want to decide the next move based on what validator failed. With Agavi 1.0 getting validation incidents of a named validator is this simple:

public function handleError(AgaviRequestDataHolder $rd)
{
  $vm = $this->container->getValidationManager();
  if (count($vm->getReport()->getValidatorResult('my_special_validator')->getIncidents())) {
    return 'CriticalError';
  }
  else {
    return 'Error';
  }
  
}

Note: that AgaviValidationValidatorResult was missing from the core autoload.xml in 1.0 Beta 6. This has been fixed in the SVN If you aren’t using the bleeding edge version add the following line to your config/autoload.xml.

<autoload name="AgaviValidationValidatorResult">%core.agavi_dir%/validator/AgaviValidationValidatorResult.class.php</autoload>
