Displaying Errors
Hi,
I’m currently writing an extension for a client project that requires a heavily modified member registration system - So far so good.
As the registration criteria for this project is somewhat different to the EE defaults, I need to to validate the input and check for required fields - no problem.
My question is, how would I go about raising / displaying a (validation) error through EE?
I’m looking for something along the lines of
display_error("error message here");But can’t seem to find anything in the documentation.
Thanks in advance.

– edited to add “Display Errors” to top of post to aid searching (as search doesn’t search titles!) –
Ok, I’ve just had a dig around in the DISPLAY and OUTPUT classes and found the following:
$OUT->fatal_error();
$OUT->show_message();
$OUT->show_user_error();
// ...and...
$DSP->error_message();Any pointers on which/when I should/shoudn’t use?
Thanks in advance.
$OUT->show_user_error("submission","Some Error");Seems to have the desired effect!
Yeppers- output class is the way to go on this one. (Display class is used for the backend cp layout stuff.)
Thanks Robin.
