Zend Framework 2 - Integer Form Validation

Question

I've got the following problem. I wrote (based on the tutorial) a form validation. The text fields work just fine but the integer field behave odd.

This is my validator:

        $inputFilter->add($factory->createInput(array(
            'name'     => 'zip',
            'required' => false,
            'filters'  => array(
                array('name' => 'Int'),
            ),
        )));

It lies within my Entity.php like the other filters. The odd thing is that this one accepts not even a string but ignores the required when I set it to true. I tried to replace Int with Digits which then causes the form to accept required but still accepts strings.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Try using the Between validator:

$inputFilter->add($factory->createInput(array(
            'name'     => 'zip',
            'required' => true,
            'filters'  => array(
                array('name' => 'Int'),
            ),
            'validators' => array(
              array(
                  'name' => 'Between',
                  'options' => array(
                      'min' => 1,
                      'max' => 1000,
                  ),
              ),
            ),
        )));
