Re: Quickform Validation not occuring

if ($this->validate()) { $this->process('ProcessNewUser',FALSE); } else{ $this->addElement('text','account','Desired Login (Max 10 characters):', array('size' => 17, 'maxlength' => 13)); /*$pass['password'] =& $this->createElement('password', 'password', null, array('size' =>17, 'maxlength' => 10)); $pass['verify'] =& $this->createElement('password', 'verify', null, array('size' => 17, 'maxlength' => 10)); $this->addGroup($pass, 'password', 'Password (Desired, Verification):', '<br />');*/ $this->addElement('password', 'password', 'Desired Password: ', array('size' =>17, 'maxlength' => 10)); $name['last'] =& $this->createElement('text', 'lastName', null, array('size' => 17, 'maxlength' => 10)); $name['first'] =& $this->createElement('text', 'firstName', null, array('size' => 17, 'maxlength' => 8)); $this->addGroup($name, 'name', 'Name (last, first):', ',&nbsp;'); $this->addElement('date','birthday','Birthdate',$this->bdayoptions); $this->addElement('text','question','Secret Question:',array('size'=>17, 'maxlength' => 20)); $this->addElement('text','answer','Question Answer:',array('size' => 17, 'maxlength' => 20)); $this->addElement('reset', 'reset', 'Clear Form'); $this->addElement('submit', 'btnSubmit', 'Submit'); print_r( $this->getRegisteredRules()); $_SESSION['ViewType']=''; $this->applyFilter('__ALL__', 'trim'); //$this->addGroupRule('password', 'Password is required', 'required'); //$this->addGroupRule('password', 'The passwords do not match', 'compare'); $this->view = new View; $this->view->NewUser($this); } This is the code for the block that generates the form. Do i place the reference as $this->view->NewUser(&$this);? I attempted that and it gave me the deprecated reference warning, so I suppose I'm just not understanding where exactly the reference should be placed.
