Zend Framework, Zend_Form_Element how to set custom name?
- by ikso
Hello, I have form, where some fields are looks like rows, so I can add/delete them using JS.
For example:
Field with ID=1 (existing row)
<input id="id[1]" type="text" name="id[1]" value="1" />
<input id="name[1]" type="text" name="name[1]" value="100" />
Field with ID=2 (existing row)
<input id="name[2]" type="text" name="name[2]" value="200" />
<input id="name[2]" type="text" name="name[2]" value="200" />
new row created by default (to allow add one more row to existing rows)
<input id="id[n0]" type="text" name="id[n0]" value="" />
<input id="name[n0]" type="text" name="name[n0]" value="" />
new row created by JS
<input id="id[n1]" type="text" name="id[n1]" value="" />
<input id="name[n1]" type="text" name="name[n1]" value="" />
So than we will proceed form, we will know what rows to update and what to add (if index starts with "n" - new, if index is number - existent element).
I tried subforms... but do I have to create subform for each field? If I use following code:
$subForm = new Zend_Form_SubForm();
$subForm->addElement('Text', 'n0');
$this->addSubForm($subForm, 'pid');
$subForm = new Zend_Form_SubForm();
$subForm->addElement('Text', 'n0');
$this->addSubForm($subForm, 'name');
What is the best way for this?
1) Use subforms?
2) Extend Zend/Form/Decorator/ViewHelper.php to use names like name[nX]?
3) Other solutions?
Thanks.
