Should i be able to simply use $form->populate($data); to set the selected
item of a Zend_Form_Element_Select object?
I have this in the form;
// Add the machine type element
$this->addElement('select', 'machinetype', array(
'id' => 'text',
'multiOptions' => array('Cutting', 'Punching', 'Bending',
'Welding'),
'label' => 'Type:',
'required' => true,
'filters' => array('StringTrim','StringToUpper'),
'validators' => array(array('StringLength', false, array(0,1)))
));
Then I have this in the controller;
$data = array(
'id' => $row->GetId(),
'machinetype'=> 'Welding', //$row->getMachinetype(),
'name' => $row->getName(),
'descr' => $row->getDescr()
);
$form->populate($data);
$this->view->form = $form;
return;
However when using the controller the 'machinetype' always gets set to
'Cutting'. i.e. the first item in the list, when it should get set to
'Welding'.
Is $form->populate() not enough?
