Zend_Filter_Input and validating plain HTML forms

Question

ZF 1.11.2 here.

I have something like this in my controller:
$validators = array( 'username' => array('Alnum', array('stringLength', false, array('min' => 3, 'max' => 100))), 'password' => array('Alnum', array('stringLength', false, array('min' => 3, 'max' => 100))) ); $input = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $_POST);

My problem is that, no matter how I submit the values, I always get: 'somevalue' is more than 1 characters long. I couldn't find some article on ZF so I can pull this off (yet).

I think there shouldn't be false parameter for stringLength. Your $validators array should be as follows:

 $validators = array(
            'username' => array('Alnum', array('stringLength', array('min' => 3, 'max' => 100))),
            'password' => array('Alnum', array('stringLength', array('min' => 3, 'max' => 100)))
        );

Spot on, Marcin! Thanks. I followed the addValidator('stringLength', false, array(1,100)) syntax.

For some reason I was using the very same syntax as nevvermind, which I copy pasted from somewhere. Thanks for the clarification :)
