You can use your own too, look at the examples. Ah, docs/QuickForm_example3.php - I overlooked those examples as I started off trying to understand how QuickForm integrated with Smarty; so ended up only seeing the docs/renderers/ examples 8-) Where are all the built in possible validations listed? Would be nice to know. > > Or is $form->addRule('news_editor', 'Editors name is a > required field', > > 'required', 'client'); fine? > > PHP newbie ? :) Not quiet. Was possible your addRule method used its parameters like a CLI based app might - only reading the next variable as an extra parameter if it needed, otherwise the next one would just be read as another command - as in the 'required', 'client' scenario.
