Hello there,
i am currently struggeling with a custom made Snippet to custom-validate a value from a Form-It Form.
I need to validate if the serial no entered has a correct syntax.
I must admit that I am more a designer than a programmer.

My form:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`spam,email,redirect`
&emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl`
&emailSubject=`[[+datestamp_submitted]] | [[+contact_subject]]`
&emailTo=`[email protected]`
&emailCC=`[email protected]`
&customValidators=`serialno`
&validate=`snno:serialno`
&redirectTo=`4`
]]

My serialno-snippet:

<?php
$valuein=$mcsnno;
$date=$valuein{4};
if($date===x xor $date===y){
    return true;

}else{
    $errorMsg = 'Wrong!';
    $validator->addError('mcsnno',$errorMsg);
    return false;
}

My problem now is:
When running a .php file of the snippet on the same server it perfectly works.
When running the snippet, it always returns the error Msg.

Who can help?
What do I do wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

Hm, not sure about it, but according to http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/FormIt.Validators the field value that is posted (and validated by FormIt) is accessible through $value inside custom validators, so your validator snippet should probably look something like:

<?php
$valuein=$value;
$date=$valuein{4};
if($date===x xor $date===y){
    return true;
 
}else{
    $errorMsg = 'Wrong!';
    $validator->addError('mcsnno',$errorMsg);
    return false;
}
