In the latest dataobject, setFrom, can also return an error array.. - eg. if you define a method setDog($var) { if (!in_array($this->dogTypes,$var)) { return 'not a dog type';
         }
$this->dog = $var; return true; } Markus Wolff wrote:

Ok, just making sure ;) Anyhow, I wonder if you could perhaps add a call to $this->_do->validate() in processForm? That way I can use my existing validation code for the extended DO classes.
Hmm, I always do the call to validate() outside the class, in the main script: $obj =& new myDataObject); $fg =& DB_DataObject_FormBuilder::create($obj); $form =& $fg->getForm(); if ($form->validate()) {
    $form->process(array(&$fg,'processForm'), false);
} How exactly would you want to implement it in the process method? Personally, I think the call to validate and triggering the process function should always stay out of a class, as its part of the script flow, not of the backend logic. But as always, I´m open to different opinions ;-) Regards, Markus
