validateRegistrationForm() hook

A hook that validates the input into the user registration form to make sure that the input is valid.

Signature

function validateRegistrationForm( array $values ) : mixed

Parameters

Name Description
$values An associative array of the input values of the registration form.
returns Mixed. If this method returns a PEAR_Error object then the validation will fail - and the user will be asked to correct his input.

Example 

<?php
class conf_ApplicationDelegate {
    function validateRegistrationForm($values){
        if ( $values['age'] < 18 ){
            return PEAR::raiseError("Sorry you must be at least 18 years old to join this site.");
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Validation via the Users table Delegate class

Note that since the registration form is just a “new record form” for the users table, it is also possible (and preferred) to do validation through the users table delegate class.
