Global form validation callbacks? Staged forms?

Points 1 and 2 - great ! Thanks

Point 3. I apreciate that MVC is a more organized approach, and i 'get it', however would it be fair to say that from the point of view of looking at code and saying 'wait a minute, how does this work again', it is pretty complex..?

You can look at the controller and see the flow of things but you cant see the underlying programming that makes it work, nor the code which displays.

Regaring the controller, I am finding myself with an index function in each of my controllers, and nothing more.

Having /controller_name/index/whatever/vars/i/want (which i route with /controller_name/whatever/vars/i/want), I havnt seen a need for any other methods.. have i missed the point?

Thanks
