Validation in Zend Framework Not working in Index Controller

Expand Post »

Hi All,
I went Through the tutorial of zend framework. . I can able to validate the forms outside the index controller. But the same form which is called in index controller is not validating. I searched in web but none helped me. .
I wanna know why the form is not validating in index controller.
here is my view page.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
 
$this->form->setAction($this->url(array('action' => 'index')));
echo $this->form;?>
<?php

$this->form->setAction($this->url(array('action' => 'index')));
echo $this->form;?>

here is my index controller

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
 
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
 
        public function indexAction()
    {//echo "login controller";
	 $form = new Default_Form_Index();
         $this->view->form = $form;
 
       //	echo "Our home page stuff";
    }
<?php

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
   
        public function indexAction()
    {//echo "login controller";
	 $form = new Default_Form_Index();
         $this->view->form = $form;

       //	echo "Our home page stuff";
    }

and here is my form page

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
class Default_Form_Index extends Zend_Form
{
    /**
     * init() is the initialization routine called when Zend_Form objects are

Re: Validation in Zend Framework Not working in Index Controller

if you're making the form submit to itself then you need to make the index action in the index controller look for post data so it knows it needs to validate the form.

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?php
 
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
  public function indexAction()
  {
    $form = new Default_Form_Index();
    $request = $this->getRequest();
 
    //Check if we have post data
    if( $request->isPost() )
    {
      //If the form is NOT valid redisplay it with errors
      if( !$form->isValid($request->getPost() ) )
      {
        $this->view->form = $form;				           		
        return;
      }
 
      //Form passes validation and filtering
      //Do something with the data.
      $data = $form->getValues();
 
      //Maybe a redirect or change what view is getting rendered?
 
      //Just to stop execution after processing the form return;
      //return; 
    }
 
    //If no post data assume we're just displaying the form to the user
    $this->view->form = $form;
  }
}
<?php

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
  public function indexAction()
  {
    $form = new Default_Form_Index();
    $request = $this->getRequest();

    //Check if we have post data
    if( $request->isPost() )
    {
      //If the form is NOT valid redisplay it with errors
      if( !$form->isValid($request->getPost() ) )
      {
        $this->view->form = $form;				           		
        return;
      }

      //Form passes validation and filtering
      //Do something with the data.
      $data = $form->getValues();

      //Maybe a redirect or change what view is getting rendered?

      //Just to stop execution after processing the form return;
      //return; 
    }

    //If no post data assume we're just displaying the form to the user
    $this->view->form = $form;
  }
}
