How to verify password field in zend form?

Question

In my form, I\'m trying to verify that the user fills in the same value both times (to make sure they didn\'t make a mistake). I think that\'s what Zend_Validate_Identical

Answer 1

With Zend Framework 1.10 the code needed to validate the equality of two fields using Zend Form and Zend Validate is:

    $form->addElement('PasswordTextBox',
                      'password',
                      array('label'      => 'Password')
                      );

    $form->addElement('PasswordTextBox',
                      'password_confirm',
                      array('label'      => 'Confirm password',
                            'validators' => array(array('Identical', false, 'password')),
                            )
                      );

You can notice, in the validators array of the password_confirm element, that the Identical validator is passed as array, the semantics of that array is: i) Validator name, ii) break chain on failure, iii) validator options As you can see, it's possible to pass the field name instead of retrieving the value.
