Hello,

I'm using Zend Framework 1.62 (becuase we are deploying the finished product to a Red Hat instance, which doesn't have a hgih enough PHP version to support > ZF1.62).

When creating a Form using Zend Form, I add a select element, add some multi options. I use the Zend Form as an in-object validation layer, passing an objects values through it and using the isValid method to determine if all the values fall within normal parameters.

Zend_Form_Element_Select works exactly as expected, showing invalid if any other value is input other than one of the multi select options I added.

The problem comes when I want to display the form at some point, I cant edit the error message created by the pre registered 'InArray' validator added automatically by ZF. I know I can disable this behaviour, but it works great apart from the error messages. I've tryed the following:

$this->getElement('country')->getValidator('InArray')->setMessage('The country is not in the approved lists of countries');

// Doesn't work at all.

$this->getElement('country')->setErrorMessage('The country is not in the approved lists of countries');

// Causes a conflict elswhere in the application and doesnt allow granular control of error messages.

Anyone have any ideas?

Ben
