Smarty Help

I am a PHP Coder.
But I just started using Smarty with Smarty Validation Plugin, for the development of my new Link Directory Software.
I am stuck at something.
its captcha validation.
I am giving you an example of my code here :

class test {

	var $a = 'say';

	function say($param)
	{
		if ($this -> a == 'say')
		{
			echo $param;
		}
		return true;
	}

}

PHP:

My smarty validation code :

$test = new test;
if (empty($_POST['submit'])) {

			SmartyValidate::connect($smarty, true);
			SmartyValidate::register_object('test', $test);
			SmartyValidate::register_criteria('Say','test->say');
			SmartyValidate::register_validator('v_say','say','Say',false,false,'trim');
			$smarty->display('form.tpl');
		} else {    
		   // validate after a POST
		   SmartyValidate::connect($smarty);
		   
		   if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST) && $fatal != true) {
			   // no errors, done with SmartyValidate
			 $smarty -> display('form.tpl');
		   } else {
			   // error, redraw the form
				$smarty->assign($_POST);
				$smarty->display('form.tpl');
		   }
			
		}

PHP:

My form.tpl :

<form method="POST" action="">
{validate id="v_say" criteria="Say" message="error"}
<input type="text" name="say" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

PHP:

But everytime I use this form , it triggers this error:

Notice: SmartyValidate: [is_valid] method 'say' is not valid for object 'test'. in D:\**********\smarty\SmartyValidate.class.php on line 604

Code (markup):

Any idea why I am getting this error ?? :s
I figured out that it means method 'say' doesnt exist in class 'test' ( anyone can figure out that much LOL ) but this isnt true
Please help me

 

Isn't the validator looking for v_say's value? Your input is returning a value for "say"

Of course, I haven't looked at SmartyValidate in about 2 years. :shrug: So don't take my word for it, unless it works.

cheers,

huh, there is nothing wrong with the validator's code.
it is the right way to do it, but for some reason it doesnt work.
i think it is a bug. and i thought you knew how to fix it, but i was wrong..
anyway, thanks for reply.. but i was expecting a useful reply

 

No, not with the validator code. I was thinking that this

<input type="text" name="say" />

Code (markup):

should be

<input type="text" name="v_say" />

Code (markup):

nope it shouldnt be v_say, again I am saying, my tpl file is 100% correct , read their documentation again please

Update : ah, figured it out, i just had to add register_object after the next connect too
thanks for your time though..
