How do configure Zend_Form to use array notation?

Question

I\'m having difficulty configuring Zend_Form. I have a Zend_Form sub-class. The form has some required information and some additional information. I want the additional inf

Answer 1

Sorted it! The problem is a custom decorator that was being used.

//In
$subForm = new Form_SubForm(); //this can be a Zend_Form or Zend_Form_SubForm     
$subForm->setIsArray(true);
$this->addSubForm($subForm, 'subform');

Elements will be rendered with a id of subform-elementname and a name of subform[elementname].

Answer 2

To expand on the answer because $form->setIsArray(TRUE) was not working with my custom decorator for elements. My custom ViewScript decorator was needed for rendering the Zend_Form_Element.

The problem, it was rendering the element name with $this->element->getName(). I had to use $this->element->getFullyQualifiedName() in the ViewScript decorator script.
