Re: [fw-mvc] Zend Form Improvement

The problem with using array_diff() is that it has to be done before validation, but I would imagine you only want to look for differences after validation.

I think this would be a nice addition to Zend_Form.

Hi,

PHP's array_diff() function and $form->getValues() should probably do the trick for you ;).

Hello everyone,

 

Today while working with Zend Form while using it to edit a form I wanted to have an easy way to check to see if anything changed and then return any fields that have changed.  The way I figured this would work is like this in your controller

 

$defaultValues = array(<some values here>);

$form = new My_Form();

If($form->isValid($_POST)) {

    $changedValues = $form->getChangedValues($defaultvalues);

}

 

That way you could only process any values that changed or skip the processing if nothing changed.
