On the form the user inputs a 3 letter answer and if that answer equals either code or altcode (answer in a TV) then redirect. I've tried a number of options this is just the latest that is not working.

[[!FormIt?
&submitVar=`answ`
   &hooks=`redirect`
   &redirectTo=`[[+page]]`

&validate=`
   answ:contains=^[[+altcode]]:or:[[+code]]^`
]]

Thanks for any help.

I think, you will need a custom validator something like that:

<?php
/*
 & customValidators=`containsOneOfThem`
 & validate=`message:containsOneOfThem=^Hello,Dear,Hi,Hey^`
*/

$params = explode(',',$param);
$success = false;

foreach ($params as $param){
    if (strstr($value,$param)){
        $success = true;        
    }
}

if (!$success) {
  // Note how we can add an error to the field here.
  $validator->addError($key,'one or more words are missing');
}
return $success;
?>

Or:

<?php
/*
 & customValidators=`equalsOneOfThem`
 & validate=`color:equalsOneOfThem=^red,green,blue^`
*/
 
$params = explode(',',$param);
$success = false;
 
foreach ($params as $param){
    if ($value==$param){
        $success = true;       
    }
}
 
if (!$success) {
  // Note how we can add an error to the field here.
  $validator->addError($key,'one or more words are missing');
}
return $success;
?>
