First, you create the group: $group[0] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('html','info text'); $group[1] =& HTML_QuickForm::createElement('textarea','input','input'); $form->addGroup($group, 'mygroup', 'Group Label:'); (pay attention to the & in front of HTML_QuickForm::createElement) (don't forget to add your group to the form with addGroup and give it a name). Then, you can choose the way your group is required: 1. have only one element in the group required and you specify which one $rule[0][0] = array('This is required', 'required'); $form->addGroupRule('mygroup', $rule); We took 0 as an index because it's the name you gave to the element index in $group array. It could have been an associative array too for better readability. 2. have two elements required by specifying which ones $rule[0][0] = array('This is required', 'required'); $rule[1][0] = array('This is required', 'required'); $form->addGroupRule('mygroup', $rule) 3. have at least one of the elements required without specifying which one $form->addGroupRule('mygroup', 'At least one is required', 'required', null, 1); 4. have the whole group required as if it were an element $form->addGroupRule('mygroup', 'All fields are required', 'required'); When you deal with a group, it's recommended to use addGroupRule() because it offers more options.
