Re: New HTML_QuickForm rule

Hi! Mika Tuupola wrote:

Currently working with HTML_QuickForm and I needed a rule for 'nonnegative' or better to say 'positive'. I know it can be achieved with regex rule but something like the following migh be a good addition:

	'positive'       => '/[0-9]*/'
	'negative'       => '/^-[1-9][0-9]*/'

Please consider: 1) looking through the recent thread "Thoughts on QuickForm-additions (again)" where Bertrand gave his thoughts on whether QuickForm is (and should be) a regex library. 2) checking out CVS version of QuickForm. Bertrand is currently reworking the whole validation infrastructure. There may be a place for such rules in the new infrastructure, just not in regex.

(BTW, only after Keith Edmunds wrote the HTML_QuickForm getting started guide, I realised how usefull the library is :)

Looks like we have to add some "getting started" guide to the official docs as well. :]
