[fw-mvc] Re: problem with zend_formElemend_Select

This whole example from the book beginning zend framework seems not to be working:

/**

* Create Add Artist Form.

*

* @return Zend_Form

*/

private function getAddArtistForm()

{

   $form = new Zend_Form();

   $form->setAction("saveArtist");

   $form->setMethod("post");

   $form->setName("addartist");

   //Create artist name text field.

   $artistNameElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('artistName');

   $artistNameElement->setLabel("Artist Name:");

   //Create genres select menu

   $genres = array("multiOptions" => array

   (

       "electronic"         => "Electronic",

       "country"             => "Country",

       "rock"                  => "Rock",

       "r_n_b"               => "R & B",

       "hip_hop"            => "Hip-Hop",

       "heavy_metal"      => "Heavy-Metal",

       "alternative_rock" => "Alternative Rock",

       "christian"             => "Christian",

       "jazz"                   => "Jazz",

       "pop"                    => "Pop"

     ));

   $genreElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('genre', $genres);

   $genreElement->setLabel("Genre:");

   $genreElement->setRequired(true);

   //Create favorite radio buttons.

   $favoriteOptions = array("multiOptions" => array

   (

       "1" => "yes",

       "0" => "no"

   ));

   $isFavoriteListElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Radio('isFavorite',

                                            $favoriteOptions);

   $isFavoriteListElement->setLabel("Add to Favorite List:");

   $isFavoriteListElement->setRequired(true);

   //Create Rating raio button

   $ratingOptions = array("multiOptions" => array

    (

       "1" => "1",

       "2" => "2",

       "3" => "3",

       "4" => "4",

       "5" => "5"

   ));

   $ratingElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Radio('rating', $ratingOptions);

   $ratingElement->setLabel("Rating:");

   $ratingElement->setRequired(true)->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Alnum(false));

   //Create submit button

   $submitButton = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit("submit");

   $submitButton->setLabel("Add Artist");

   //Add Elements to form

   $form->addElement($artistNameElement);

   $form->addElement($genreElement);

   $form->addElement($isFavoriteListElement);

   $form->addElement($ratingElement);

   $form->addElement($submitButton);

   return $form;

}

It shows all items twice and inconsistent labels and it also doesn't fill the select box.

Hello overyone.

I'm trying to fill a  Zend_Form_Element_Select box with an array but it stays empty on the screen.

This is my code:

// create artist name text field

$artistNameElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('artistName');

$artistNameElement->setLabel("Artist name: ");

$genres = array("multiOptions" => array(

"electronic" =>"Electronic", 

"country" => "Country",

"rock" =>"Rock", 

"r_n_b" =>"R & B", 

"hip_hop" => "Hip-Hop",

"heavy_metal" =>"Heavy-Metal",

"alternative_rock" =>"Alternative Rock", 

"jazz" =>"Jazz", 

"pop" =>"Pop"

));

$genreElement = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('genre', $genres);

$genreElement->setLabel("Genre:");

$genreElement->setRequired(true);

What is going wrong?

Thanks,
