Zend Framework and LoginController with LoginForm

Question

I've got some stuff I'm trying to do with ZF; I have a LoginController.php in application/controllers/ with class LoginController extends Zend_Controller_Action. Within it, I have the following:

public function getForm()
{
    return new LoginForm(array(
                'action' => '/login/process',
                'method' => 'post',
                ));
}

I have a LoginForm.php inside application/forms/ that has the following:

class LoginForm extends Zend_Form
{
+-- 38 lines: public function init()--------------------------------------------
}

Now, when I visit example.com/login, I get the following:

Fatal error: Class 'LoginForm' not found in /var/application/controllers/LoginController.php on line 7

My application.ini is the default...

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Did you actually create a LoginForm class? Because it if you did it isnt on your include path.

Answer 2

name LoginForm path_from_closest_include_path_LoginForm
Assuming you have there the file LoginForm.php (notice the capital letters).

Answer 3

Check your bootstrap.php file. If you are using the standard autoloader in there, you will need to prefix your form classes with Form_

A basic autoloader declaration should look like something this:

$autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
        'namespace' => '',
        'basePath'  => dirname(__FILE__),
));

So if this is the case, your form class should be named Form_LoginForm()
