Thread: set error code for addError

Hi,
I am adding custom error messages to elements, but I am only able to add message as a string, while validators seem to add it as an array with the error code as the key. This way I end up with different error format depending on where the error came from.

When I need to return the errors in xml to external applications this is a big problem for me. Any idea how to do this correctly?

Thanks for the help.

Here is what I mean:

Code:

When I do: $element->addError ( $message );
$form->getMessages() returns:
array(1) {
 ["some_field"] => array(1) {
   [0] => string(16) "custom_message"
  }
}

When a validator fails on the element
$form->getMessages() returns:
array(1) {
  ["some_field"] => array(1) {
    ["some_errorcode"] => string(16) "custom message"   
  }
}
