Re: [fw-mvc] how to make an array of Zend_Form_Elements ?

Thanks Matthew,
the funny thing is :

<?php
$ids = range(1,10);
$form = new Zend_Form;
// WORKS FINE
foreach($ids as $value)
{
    $form->addElement('hidden', 'id_'.$value, array(
        'name' => 'id',
        'value' => $value,
        'isArray' => true,
        'required' => true,
    ));
}
echo $form;

$form = new Zend_Form;
// DOESN'T WORK
foreach($ids as $value)
{
    $fieldId = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden('id');
    $fieldId->setIsArray(true);
    $fieldId->setValue($value);
    $fieldId->setRequired(true);
    $form->addElement($fieldId);
}

echo $form;

What is the way (if exists) to have an array (it means that all fields   share the name with [] at the end) of hidden or text form elements ? I want something like <form>    <input name="id[]" value="1" />    <input name="id[]" value="2" />    ... </form>  ... whats the way ? if I use the same name each element is replaced in the stack ... $elem->setIsArray(true) add [] at the end but each elem is replaced by   the next with same name .. (only the last will be rendered) so how ?     

 Create your own element type that will accept an array of values, and then a decorator that will output the various input items.       class My_Element_ArrayElement extends Zend_Form_Element     {         public function init()         {             $this->addPrefixPath('My_Decorator', 'My/Decorator/', 'decorator');         }          public function setValue($value)         {             $this->_value = (array) $value;         }          public function loadDefaultDecorators()         {             if ($this->loadDefaultDecoratorsIsDisabled()) {                 return;             }              $decorators = $this->getDecorators();             if (empty($decorators)) {                 $this->addDecorator('ArrayElement');             }         }      }      class My_Decorator_ArrayElement extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract     {         public function render($content)         {             $element = $this->getElement();             $view    = $element->getView();             $markup  = '';             $name    = $element->getName() . '[]';              foreach ($element->getValues() as $value) {                 $markup .= $view->formHidden($name, $value) . "\n";             }              $separator = $this->getSeparator();             switch ($this->getPlacement()) {                 case 'PREPEND':                     return $markup . $separator . $content;                 case 'APPEND':                 default:                     return $content . $separator . $markup;             }         }     }
