i want to use zend_form to validate and filter the POST data,and some form fields are disabled element,
but when i use $form->isValid($post) filtering the data and use $form->getValues() to get the filtered data, it returns all the elements value (including the disabled elements value which i don't want).
such as :
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" disabled="disabled" name="account_id" value="123456">
<input type="text" name="name" value="">
<input type="text" name="email" value="">
<input type="text" disabled="disabled" name="created_date" value="2011-06-12">
<input type="text" disabled="disabled" name="created_by" value="admin">
<input type="submit">
</form>
so is there any way to get rid of the disables elements value ?
(because there are many fields and disabled elements ,so i don't want to trim them manually)
thanks!
This is some sort of a hack. We get all elements and iterate through it. When we see an element is disabled we can skip.
$somearray = array();
$elements = $form->getElements();
foreach ($elements as $key => $element) {
//echo $key;
if( $element->disabled ) {
continue;
}
$somearray[$key] = $element->getValue();
}
Hope this helps, or you can hack on it ;) .
It looks like this is not a bug, but an accepted workflow for validating forms. see this: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-6909
it looks like the accepted solution/trick is to use
$form->isValidPartial($this->getRequest()->getPost())
instead of
$form->isValid($this->getRequest()->getPost())
isValidPartial only tests the form fields that are present in the post. disabled elements should not end up posted.

I'm trying to grab some form data in my function but for some reason my fom returns an empty array when i try and run the function .serializeArray() on it. I've checked that to make sure it input element has a name I just can't figure out why this is happening
this is my form
<form id="uploadForm" name="form" action="{{nodeSocketUrl}}/upload?tenant=qa&envelope=true" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="forms" style="left:15px">
<fieldset class="units-row">
<h3>Upload A Presentation</h3>
<label for="presentationFileUpload">Select a .ppt, .pptx, .pdf</label>
<input type="file" id="presentationFileUpload" name="presentationFile" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().onFileSelect(this)"/>
<hr>
<input type="submit" id="fileUploadBtn" class="btn btn-primary disabled" value="Upload" ng-click="uploadFile($event)" name="upload">
</fieldset>
</form>
This is my function which I'm hopping to get the form data from
$scope.uploadFile = function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//$scope.form.preventDefault();
var dCheck = $('input[type="file"]').val();
console.log(e.currentTarget);
var form = $('#uploadForm').serializeArray();
console.log(form);
}
form returns an empty array any help with this would be appreacited
Why not think in pure angular way?
use can use
<input type="file" ng-model="filePath">
And next, get the file name in $scope.filePath
i have a model that has a list of sub items in it , something like this :
class MyObj {
public string Name {get;set;}
public List<mySubObject> Items {get;set;}
}
and
class mySubObject {
public string Name {get;set;}
public int Order {get;set;}
}
Now, when i render the list with a for loop and editorFor, the html i get is somethign like this :
<input type="text" name="Items[0].Name">
<input type="Number" name="Items[0].Order">
<input type="text" name="Items[1].Name">
<input type="number" name="Items[1].Order">
...
<input type="text" name="Items[9].Name">
<input type="number" name="Items[9].Order">
Now imagine remove the first element from the HTML via jQuery because i no longer want it in my list, and then save the list. The data that goes back is without the first [0] element
and all the elements from 1 to 9 go to the server but the model binding fails and it displays (on the server) that the list of items is null
What am i doing wrong ?
Is this a bug of the default model binder ?
What am i doing wrong ?
Leaving holes in the indices.
Is this a bug of the default model binder ?
No, it's by design. You shouldn't leave any holes in the indices.
One possibility is to recalculate the indices when you remove a row but you will have to write a ton of crap javascript for that.
I would recommend you using a different approach. Instead of using sequential indices use Guids. The approach is detailed in the following blog post by Phil Haack: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/10/23/model-binding-to-a-list.aspx (Non-Sequential indices section).
And Steven Sanderson illustrated a nice little helper in this post that would allow you to very easily achieve this: http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2010/01/28/editing-a-variable-length-list-aspnet-mvc-2-style/
That you could use like this:
#using(Html.BeginCollectionItem("Items"))
{
for (var i = 0; i < Model.Items.Count; i++)
{
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.Name)
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.Order)
}
}
and it will generate the following:
<input type="hidden" name="Items.Index" value="F769E33C-4D07-4586-8D9C-63D386C641FA" />
<input type="text" name="Items[F769E33C-4D07-4586-8D9C-63D386C641FA].Name">
<input type="Number" name="Items[F769E33C-4D07-4586-8D9C-63D386C641FA].Order">
<input type="hidden" name="Items.Index" value="F4A4A9BB-4427-497E-BFD5-3CDE1F46095B" />
<input type="text" name="Items[F4A4A9BB-4427-497E-BFD5-3CDE1F46095B].Name">
<input type="number" name="Items[F4A4A9BB-4427-497E-BFD5-3CDE1F46095B].Order">
...
Now feel free to add/remove rows as much as you like on the client with javascript without fearing that it would break the model binding of your collection.
I'm currently creating a form that is very similar to the following code.
<form name="test" action="/go/test" method="post">
<input type=hidden name="hotspot_url" value="http://www.test.com/">
<input name="cky" value="<%write(cky);%>" type="hidden">
<input name="accept" value="Accept" type="hidden">
<input name="saccept" size="20" value="I Accept" onClick="hotspot.accept.value='Accept'" type="submit">
<input name="sdisconnect" size="20" value="I Decline" onClick="hotspot.accept.value='Decline'" type="submit">
</form>
However, the new form has a text input field. What I want to achieve is that the value entered in that text field is placed, upon send, after the test.com value (location marked with xxx)
<input type=hidden name="hotspot_url" value="http://www.test.com/xxx">
I've looked around - but i can't seem to find a solution.
What would be the best way to get this done?
You can use a buttons onclick event, which is not of type submit. When onclick occurs, you can first change the value of hidden field and then submit the form.
Or if you use JQuery, you can use the following jQuery code to do something before the form is submitted:
$(function() {
$('#form').submit(function() {
// DO STUFF
return true; // return false to cancel form action
});
});
You can give both inputs an id, and do something like this:
give the form an "onsumbit= doThis()"
function doThis(){
var hiddeninput= $('#hiddeninput').val();
var input = $('#input').val();
$('#hiddeninput').val(hiddeninput+input);
return true;
}
this is very simple nothing fancy.
I'm trying to implement Zend_Filter_Input to validate if first value in array is not empty.
Here is my HTML:
<input type="text" name="Firstname[1]">
<input type="text" name="Firstname[2]">
<input type="text" name="Firstname[3]">
This code is not working:
$validators = array(
'Firstname[1]' => array(
'NotEmpty'
));
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input(null, $validators, $_POST);
Any hints?
You're attempting to use an incompatible data type, here is an excerpt from the ZF1 reference that might help explain:
You can specify input data as the third constructor argument. The data
structure is an associative array. The keys are field names, and the
values are data values. The standard $_GET and $_POST superglobal
variables in PHP are examples of this format. You can use either of
these variables as input data for Zend_Filter_Input.
$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $data);
I hope you see the problem.
Maybe you could try:
<input type="text" name="Firstname[1]" required>
<input type="text" name="Firstname[2]">
<input type="text" name="Firstname[3]">
as long as your using HTML5
Let say I have a simple form with no required fields:
<form action="index.jsp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
<input type="text" name="lastName" />
<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
I want to check if the form was submitted by checking the submit parameter (because it's always present). In PHP I can do a simple
if ( $_POST['submit'] )
but the request.getParameter("submit") doesn't seem to work.
So what's the best way to check if a form was submitted?
You need to give the input element a name. It's the element's name which get sent as request parameter name.
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
Then you can check it as follows:
if (request.getParameter("submit") != null) {
// ...
}
You perhaps also want to check if "POST".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod()) is also true.
if ("POST".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod()) && request.getParameter("submit") != null) {
// ...
}
Better, however, would be to use a servlet and do the job in doPost() method.
You can try this way:-
if ("POST".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getMethod())) {
// Form was submitted.
} else {
// It may be a GET request.
}
