m. lemos forms validation class

[diroddi]

How do you validate a SELECT field with m. lemos forms validation
class. I want to make sure the user has selected a product and not left
the field as the default of 'Select One'.

$form->AddInput(array (
"TYPE"=>"select ",
"NAME"=>"produc tid",
"ID"=>"producti d",
"VALUE"=>"Selec tOne",
"SIZE"=>1,
"OPTIONS"=>arra y(
"SelectOne"=>"S elect One",
"1"=>"Good" ,
"2"=>"Bette r",
"3"=>"Best" ,
),
"ValidateAsNotE mpty"=>1,
"ValidationErro rMessage"=>"Ple ase specify a product.",
"LABEL"=>"< u>P</u>roduct",
"ACCESSKEY"=>"P "
));

Thanks for any input you can give.
P.S. Manuel this is an awesome class. Great Work!!

I guess I need to have a FAQ system for recurring questions! ;-)

What I usually do is to have one option selected by default with an
empty string as value.

"VALUE"=>"" ,
"OPTIONS"=>arra y(
""=>"Select One",
"1"=>"Good" ,
"2"=>"Bette r",
"3"=>"Best" ,
),

This way the ValidateAsNotEm pty will make the class prevent the default
empty string value to be accepted.

Thanks. ;-)

BTW, for comments or questions specific to the forms class, it was just
launched a forum system built in the PHP Classes site meant for authors
to provide support to their class users. For this class the forum page
is located here.
