Is it planned to enable a custom message if the userdata are not entered correctly ?

for example:

    function textField(
      $title,
      $name,
      $validator = null,
      $size      = null,
      $maxlength = null,
      $extra     = null
      <b>$CUSTOM_MESSAGE = null</b>)
    {

What do you mean with a custom message. A custom value for the field? A custom error message? A message above the field?

I mean the message that will be returned if the checked value of an field is not valid.
e.g:

I use a textField called 'lastname'. If this field is not a string or empty, i want to display the message 'Please enter your lastname'.

I know this could be built with a custom validator but it would be nice to handle this in that way:

$form->textField('Last name', 'lastname', FH_STRING, 30, 50, '', 'Please enter your lastname');

You can better make your own function for this:

<?php
function checkLastName($value) {
    if( Validator::IsString( $value ) ) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return "You have to enter a last name!";
    }
}

?>

I think this is a work-around instead of a real function. Is the above thing ever going to implemented? I would love to see it as an extra param.

That should mean that all fields should get another parameter! Not really nice... I understeand that the code above is just a work-around, but currently its the only thing to use it. I could make a new function "setErrorMsg" so that you can attach an error message to a field...

another function would be perfect.

Changed at 15 September 05 / 18:35 hello there. Thanks for the great software! I too was wondering about custom messages for non-valid fields. I tried to implement the above but I have not been aboe to get it to work. I tried this: $form->textField('Last name', 'lastname', FH_STRING, 30, 50, '', 'Please enter your lastname'); and the it does not seem to work. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you!
