Zend_Form using subforms getValues() problem

Question

I am building a form in Zend Framework 1.9 using subforms as well as Zend_JQuery being enabled on those forms. The form itself is fine and all the error checking etc is working

Answer 1

I have a same problem to get value from subforms I solve it with this but not my desire one code: in controller i get value with this code that 'rolesSubform' is my subform name $this->_request->getParam ( 'rolesSubform' );

Answer 2

I think that perhaps I must have been misunderstanding the way that the subforms work in Zend, and the code below helps me achieve what I wanted. None of my elements share names across subforms, but I guess this is why Zend_Form works this way.

In my controller I now have:

if($request->isPost()) {
  if ($form->isValid($request->getPost()) {
    $all_form_details = array();
    foreach ($form->getSubForms() as $subform) {
      $all_form_details = array_merge($all_form_details, $subform->getValues());
    }
    // Now I have one nice and tidy array to pass to my model. I know this
    // could also be seen as model logic for a skinnier controller, but
    // this is just to demonstrate it working.
    print_r($all_form_details);
  }
}

Answer 3

Encountered the same problem. Used post instead of getValues.

$post = $this->getRequest()->getPost();

There are times when getValues does not return the same values returned by $post. Must be a getValues() bug.

Answer 4

I recently ran into this problem. It seems to me that getValues is using array_merge, instead of array_merge_recursive, which does render to correct results. I submitted a bug report, but have not gotten any feedback on it yet. I submitted a bug report (http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-8078). Perhaps you want to vote on it?
