@BobLorriman (post #16 above)
I think I have a cludge for the …
At first, the error appeared to be an issue with PDO_Mysql using a string for the id field, although this was an insert to an auto-increment field. I tried other adapters to no avail.
Finally, using the code submission from Silone(#2 post above), I have it working. Here is the code. In /App/Forms/Task.php add:
————
if ($currenttask == null)
$idoptions = array(‘ignore’=>true);
else
$idoptions = null;
$id = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden(“id”,$idoptions);
————
This in effect does not pass the blank id field into the insert statement, but will allow it for the update…

Message: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1366 Incorrect integer value: ” for column ‘id’ at row 1

Has this question been answered?

I don’t see why not. I would be reluctant to couple a Model to a form though

When I input a name into the task form I get the following error:
Incorrect integer value: ” for column ‘id’ at row 1

I even did a cut and paste from google docs just in case I had any typo’s and I still get the error. I’m using ZF1.9 – any suggestions?

why would you go about creating a separate array? I don’t see much value in that. since you’re just creating another array with no modifications. If you were filtering or modifying the data, I think your approach makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for mentioning that current() is more applicable that the [0] index!

Perfect work, I’ve worked through all your video’s up to this one. Here I’ve some comments.
In Task.php on line 22:
$rowAr = $currentTask[0]->toArray();
In older version of ZendFramework you get an error.
My suggestion would be using:
$this->currentTask->current()
instead of [0]

In Task.php on line 45-46:
foreach ($this->getElements() as $element)
$this->currentTask[0]
[$element->getId()] =
$element->getValue();

My suggestion would be to collect the form data in a separate array, like:
$arrData[$element->getId()] = $element->getValue();
and after the loop setting it into the array using:
$this->currentTask[0]->setFromArray($arrData);

Perhaps you can comment on this.

Thanks again for all your work!!
Kind regards,
Johan.

I worked with a custom Form Element for file transfers awhile back and I remember having to merge the $_POST and $_FILES variables before passing them off to Zend_Form, however I this was a year ago (which is ancient in terms of zend framework development.) I’m not familiar with Zend_Form_Element_File, but I shoot me an email and I’ll send you the object I used for Zend_Form file transfers a year ago… hopefully that will help.

Can you make a screencast of zend_form_element_file below is a sample form code but I don’t know where the file is uploaded to ->setDestination(‘/data’) what is the complete path of this code? Please help.

setName(‘upload’);
$this->setAttrib(‘enctype’, ‘multipart/form-data’);

$description = new Zend_Form_Element_Text(‘description’);
$description->setLabel(‘Description’)
->setRequired(true)
->addValidator(‘NotEmpty’);

$file = new Zend_Form_Element_File(‘file’);
$file->setLabel(‘File’)
->setDestination(‘/data’)
->setRequired(true);

$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit(‘submit’);
$submit->setLabel(‘Upload’);

$this->addElements(array($description, $file, $submit));

}
}

Thanks for mentioning this! I didn’t know Zend_Form had that option.

@tafekov:

I’ll prepare a download and post it with the next episode.

Thanks again.

However, i want to mention a thing about the submit button and the adding/removing

$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit($this->formState, array( ‘ignore’ => true ) );

with this simple line of code / option passed the buttons value won’t be returned by Form::getValues()

i hope this helps you/others who read it
