If you use setMessage without a message key, it's supposed to set all of the message templates to the given message. So When I do

$emailValidator = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress; $emailValidator->setMessage("Invalid Email Address");

I would expect all error messages to be 'Invalid Email Address', instead my errors look like

[emailAddressInvalidHostname] => 'iasdf' is no valid hostname for email address 'ASDF@iasdf' [hostnameInvalidHostname] => 'iasdf' does not match the expected structure for a DNS hostname [hostnameLocalNameNotAllowed] => 'iasdf' appears to be a local network name but local network names are not allowed

I read through the code, It looks like the setMessage method for Zend_Validate_EmailAddress is overloading the Zend_Validate_Abstract method The abstract method has

foreach($keys as $key) { $this->setMessage($messageString, $key); }

Zend_Validate_EmailAddress does not

When I add the foreach to the email address validator it fixes the problem
