How to validate multiply select using Zend Framework 2 - php

Question

I am trying to validate a multiply select using input filter, but every time I see a error. The error is "notInArray":"The input was not found in the haystack".(I use ajax but it doesn`t metter).
I will show part of my code to be more clear.
in Controller:
if ($request->isPost()) {
$post = $request->getPost();
$form = new \Settings\Form\AddUserForm($roles);//
$form->get('positions')
->setOptions(
array('value_options'=> $post['positions']));
//.... more code...
When I put print_r($post['positions']); I see:
array(0 => 118, 1 => 119)
in ..../form/UserForm.php I create the multiply element
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Select',
'attributes' => array(
'multiple' => 'multiple',
'id' => 'choosed_positions',
),
'required' => false,
'name' => 'positions',
));
and in the validation file the code is:
$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput(array(
'name' => 'positions',
'required' => false,
'validators' => array(
array(
'name' => 'InArray',
'options' => array(
'haystack' => array(118,119),
'messages' => array(
'notInArray' => 'Please select your position !'
),
),
),
),
What can be the reason every time to see this error, and how I can fix it?

Answer 1

By default selects have attached InArray validator in Zend Framework 2.
If you are adding new one - you will have two.
You should disable default one as follow:
$this->add(array(
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Select',
'options' => array(
'disable_inarray_validator' => true, // <-- disable
),
'attributes' => array(
'multiple' => 'multiple',
'id' => 'choosed_positions',
),
'required' => false,
'name' => 'positions',
));
And you should get rid of the additional error message.
