Re: [fw-mvc] Re: problem with zend_formElemend_Select

Hi Jigal,

Have you tried the following ?

$genresList = array (

'electronic' => 'Electronic',

        'country' => 'Country',

        // … fill it up with your selection here

);

$genres = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('genres');

$genres->setLabel('Genre')

               ->setRequired(true)

               ->setMultiOptions($genresList);

$form->addElement($genres);

This should do the trick.

Good luck,

Michelangelo

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

   $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,
