Hello,
I am trying to understand the best recommend way to implement a form using
Zend_Form. There seem to be a number of different ways in implementing and
rendering them.
Here is my situation:
We are developing an application and will be using a number of ZF components:
_DB, _Auth, _ACL, _View, _Layout, _Controller, etc... as well as _Form.
When we want to built and show a form, we call a model like: TestingForm.php
from TestingController.php
The TestingController.php has a method:
getTestingForm() {
$this->_myform = new TestingForm(array('action'=>testing/process',
'method'=>'post'));
}
The TestingForm.php is built as such:
TestForm extends Zend_Form {
public function __construct($options=null) {
parent::__construct($options);
$this->setAttrib('accept-charset', 'UTF-8');
}
public function init() {
$name = $this->addElement('text', 'name', array().....);
}
}
So now on my display page with the form, I have an action
indexAction() {
$this->view->testform = $this->getTestingForm();
}
and the view is:
<?php echo $this->testform; ?>
=================
Is this recommened?
2) I want to be able to add elements dynamically to the form depending on a
result set of data from the db.
Say a person has 4 children, I want to dynamically add four text elements to
the form, one for each record retrieved from the db.
How can I do this with my setup?
Any suggestions or advice would be great.
Thank you.
