I don't want to use the zend_form but i wish to use the simple html form.How to do this

Ankur Mukherjee 2010-08-10 09:27:21

@Ankhur Why not simply output some form HTML then? What do you need the Zend Framework for at all?

Pekka 2010-08-10 09:28:18

Means without using zend form ,you are saying that it will be somewhat not using the zend framework properly and actually wasting it

Ankur Mukherjee 2010-08-10 09:35:04

@Ankur not necessarily, but your question doesn't make much sense yet to me. What do you mean by a "simple form"? I think you need to explain in more detail what you are doing with the Framework and what exactly your question is.

I am using the zend framework in the usual prescribed manner but i want to use simple html form in place of zend form.So i wish to know how to integrate this form with the zend framework

Ankur Mukherjee 2010-08-10 09:41:40

@Ankur Sorry, I don't know enough about ZF's MVC concept to answer that. I suppose, though, that you would integrate it just like any other piece of HTML.

Pekka 2010-08-10 09:43:18

But the usual zend form validation and other methods will they work in the usual manner?

Ankur Mukherjee 2010-08-10 09:45:02

@Ankur I don't know, sorry! I doubt that they will work as usual without some tweaking, though.

Pekka 2010-08-10 09:52:30

You can't use Zend Form to validate the form if you aren't using Zend Form. You can however use Zend_Validate components (which Zend Form uses anyway), so I would suggest you check those pages in the manual, that should give you a good start.

Answer 2

A:

Just create your form like you would normally but in your view file (index.phtml for example). It will work. Nothing special to do just open a <form> tag and start coding.

Answer 3

+1 A:

You can use normal HTML forms. Some code snippets for your controller:

// Get all params (Notice: including URL params)
$this->getRequest()->getParams();

// Get single param
$this->getRequest()->getParam('paramName');

// Check if post
$this->getRequest()->isPost();

Answer 4

A:

If you really want to use plain html forms you should at least consider Zend_Filter_Input for filtering/validation the userinput.

$filters = array('body' => array('StringTrim' , 'StripTags'));
$validators = array('body' => 'Alpha');

if (!$this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
    // display form;
    return;
}

$input = new Zend_Filter_Input($filters, $validators, $this->getRequest()->getParams());

if (!$input->isValid()) {
    // failed validation
    $this->view->messages = $input->getMessages();
    // redisplay form and show error messages
    return;
}

// form is valid, values are filtered 
echo $input->body
