Re: [fw-mvc] how to pass params to a Zend_Form construction

I agree with Giorgio, breaking the interface is not good. Perhaps Zend_Form should change its interface then Matthew? --- On Sat, 3/7/09, Giorgio Sironi <piccoloprincipeazzurro@gmail.com> wrote: From: Giorgio Sironi <piccoloprincipeazzurro@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [fw-mvc] how to pass params to a Zend_Form construction To: "Sebastien Crocquesel" <cortex93@gmail.com> Cc: tvhoang1980@yahoo.com, fw-mvc@lists.zend.com Date: Saturday, March 7, 2009, 12:41 AM 2009/3/6 Sebastien Crocquesel <cortex93@gmail.com> What I have done is simple. I just override the default constructor with mine. In it, i call the parent one. public __construct($myparam, $options) {   parent:__construct($options);   // do someting with $myparam (database request to fill a Zend_Form_Select element for example).   // this is code that i would have put in the controller when building the form if do not refactor in a Zend_Form subclass } I also like the idea to inject by constructor, but I'm not sure if this will be a violation of LSP because the signature of __construct is different (but striclty compatible) than the parent one. -- Giorgio Sironi Piccolo Principe & Ossigeno Scripter http://ossigeno.sourceforge.net
