Zend Forms - populate() and setDefaults()

Question

Let\'s say I have a form that collects a first name and a last name:

$first_name = new Zend_Form_Element_Text(\'first_name\');
$first_name->setLabel(\"First N         


        

Answer 1

simple, create an array

$data = array('nameInput'=> 'your value');

Add your form to your View

$this->view->form = $form;

then you add data to the form

$form->populate($data);
