I am working on a form that is going to have a TON of necessary validation. At first i was just going to print out each individual error, but that became a problem REAL quick...plus i am thinking ahead of possible other forms of validation that might need to take place. My problem is that when testing the validation i put in values into the form that should have caused an error...however the only error message is the first error message. I did a var_dump($formErrorMsg) and the only there is only one value. I know that there is just something small that i am overlooking. I have been working on this for a little while and im getting burnt out on it. On submission the an/all error messages should display. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
