Hi,
I am trying to implement a simple search function. For the test
purpose I am trying to display the search string in my view. This is
how it looks like:
my form
--------------------------
class Form_Search extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
//create search text input element
$qsearch = New Zend_Form_Element_Text('qsearch');
$qsearch ->setLabel('Quick Search');
$qsearch ->setAttrib('size', '40');
$qsearch ->setRequired(true);
$qsearch ->addFilter('StringTrim');
$qsearch ->addValidator('NotEmpty',true);
$qsearch ->addValidator('Alnum', true);
$qsearch ->addErrorMessage('Invalid search string');
// add the submit button
$submit = New Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
$submit->setLabel('Search');
//add the elements to form
$this->addElements(array($qsearch, $submit));
}
}
----------------------------------------------
my controller
---------------------------------------------
public function indexAction()
{
$request = $this->getRequest();
$form = $this->_getSearchForm();
$this->view->form = $form;
if($request->isPost())
{
if ($form->isValid($request->getPost()))
{
$strinput = $form->getValue('qsearch');
$this->showQuickSearchResult($strinput);
}
...
...
private function showQuickSearchResult($searchstr)
{
$this->view->searchstr = $searchstr;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------
my view script
-------------------------------
<div id="quicksearch">
<?= $this->form ?>
</div>
<div id="check">
<? if ($this->searchstr): ?>
<h2>search string is: <? $this->searchstr ?></h2>
<? endif ?>
</div>
-----------------------------
My problem is the search string I entered in the form doesn't get
shown. Its blank.
Why?
What's wrong with this code?
Isn't this how we get the value from the Form?
-------------------------------
$form->getvalue(<element_name>);
-------------------------------
Thanks
