Symfony 1.4 Form validation without doctrine

Question

I have this form:

form action="...." method="get"

Zip Code: input type="text" name="location"

I would like to validate that the zip code's length is five and that they are all numbers.

I'm stuck on how/where to do this without creating a doctrine form and running sfValidators through the configure() function.

I found some documentation to do this in 1.2, but it seems that it has been removed in 1.4.

Thanks for any help!

It's essentially the same as 1.4 as 1.2. You don't need to create an instance of sfDoctrineForm, just sfForm:

class MyForm extends BaseForm
{
  public function configure()
  {
    $this->setWidget('zip_code', new sfWidgetFormInputText(array(), array('size' => 5, 'maxlength' => 5));
    $this->setValidator('zip_code', new sfValidatorInteger(array('min' => 0, 'max' => 99999));
  }
}

You would then bind the form and use sfForm::getValues() to retrieve the bound values.
