Hi All,
I've been integrating Zend_Form and have a bit of a problem I'm trying
to resolve.
Let's say I have a form such as this:
$form = new Zend_Form();
$title = new Zend_Form_Element_Text( 'title' );
$hidden = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden('secret')
$hidden->setValue('whatever');
$form->addElements( array(
$title, $hidden
) );
Now in my actual case this is an extended form object and the addition
is in the constructor but this example is simpler. My problem is that
I want to specify the value of the hidden field when I set up the form
and not have it blown away. Later on in the script, I want to populate
the remaining fields from a database or whatever but the hidden field
isn't in that dataset and gets overwritten with null.
For example, If I do this:
$data = array(
'title' => 'my title'
);
$form->populate( $data );
the hidden field is then nulled.
Is there a way to create a form element that will retain the default
value if not included when you populate the form?
