How do I remove form attributes in Zend Framework?

Question

I have a Form element:

$Form=new Zend_Form;
     $Form->setAction($this->view->url(array('controller'=>'auth','action'=>'create'),null,true))
          ->setMethod('post')
          ->setAttrib('id','auth-form')
          ->removeAttrib('enctype');

As can be seen I use the removeAttrib method to remove the default enctype. But, when I echo the form I still get:

<form id="auth-form" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" action="/auth/resetpassword2" method="post">

Answer 1

'enctype' is not an attribute in the Zend_Form sense. See the setEncType() method. I'm not sure that you can completely remove it without writing the HTML yourself though.

Answer 2

I believe enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is on by default in order for file uploads to work in any case. Note that if you set the enctype to '' you won't be able to upload files via that form.

Answer 3

Check this out. Line 92 of Zend_Form_Decorator_Form:

if ($method == Zend_Form::METHOD_POST) {
    $this->setOption('enctype', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
}

So, if it's post, the enctype is automatically added. You could override the decorator and remove, though I'm not sure if there's anything wrong with having the enctype set.
