Many to Many with Zend_Form and Zend_Db
May 21st, 2009This is part 2 in a series on many to many with Zend_Form and Zend_Db. I suggest starting with last week’s video on Zend_Db and many-to-many in order to follow the configuration of our models. Grab the code and follow along! This concludes this series on Zend_Db. I’ve also uploaded a zipped version of the code if that’s easier than Google Code.
Thanks so much!
In recent casts is very much useful information.
I wish you success
Thank you very much about this cast
and for the zipped file
Thanks a lot for all your cast. I really appreciate what you do to make us a lot easier to learn ZF.
I find ZF very useful so I started to learn about it. My next project will be in ZF so every tip I can get is cool, and you gave me good tips
.
Thx
Nice cast, but I am waiting cast for modular setup. I dont get the modular way of working.
Hi Staar2,
Are you referring to Zend “Modules”?
I noticed you were using $dataRowset[0] to grab the first row in a Zend_Db_Table_Rowset.
Was there a reason you weren’t using ->current() or was it just convenient?
hey Derick… probably just convenience
Cool casts that that will give me a quick start
Anyway I think Zend is a cool thing, although the generated checkbox code is horrible…:
$this->addElement(new Zend_Form_Element_Checkbox(”test”));
generates
the dt/dd are so far ok, but what the hell should this hidden textfield? you normally have w3c compliant the possibility to have more checkboxes with the same name and get a comma separated list after post…
this is impossible with Zend because of this hidden field…

>dt id=”test-label”>

As far as I can tell, the hidden field is there so that you know whether the checkbox was checked or not. In a normal HTML form, a checkbox which hasn’t been checked isn’t included in the POST variables.
Extremely useful screen cast by the way.
Any ideas how you could include the “Associate” form into a “Create User” form? So that you can create a user and add task associations in one form?
