Ok, I have a file element for a form. I'm trying to get it to throw a error when no file is selected.
I have setRequired(), but no error is thrown. setRequired() defaults to true.
I also have an Extension validator, which does get thrown WHEN there is a file, and it's the wrong file type.
Note that I never see my custom message, but rather the default error for the Extension validation.
Errors are thrown when file is attached, but not when they are not.
[code]
$this->_formElements = array(
'account_file' => $this->createElement('file', 'account_file')
->setLabel('File: ')
->setRequired()
->addValidator('Extension', false, 'jpg,png,gif,psd')
->addErrorMessage('you need a file'),
'submit' => $this->createElement('submit', 'Save', array('value' => 'Click to Upload', 'class' => 'fileFormButton'))
);
[/code]
So do you have to have a file attached, for setRequired() to be considered?
thanks
