Re: Array of input text

Here's what I've done in the view:

    <div id="BlogUrls">
        <?
        $i = 0;
        for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($this->data['Blogurl']['url']); $i++){
            echo $form->input("Blogurl.url.$i", array('label' => 'URL'));
        }

        ?>
    </div>

    <div id="BlogUrlRow" style="display: none;">
        <?echo $form->input('BlogurlUrl', array('name' => 'data[Blogurl][url][]','id' => '', 'label' => 'URL'));?>
    </div>
    <a href="#" onclick="$('#BlogUrls').append($('#BlogUrlRow').html());"><?__('Add URL');?></a>


In controller, I had to validate manually each URL since the saveAll() method won't work because of the non-conventional field names.



May be there's a better solution to deal with this problem if you know exactly how many URLs you're expecting to receive; but in this case user may add many URLs as he desires.


Of course guys don't do this at home; and ensure you're under an adult supervision if you want to do it; and always remember to use Cake conventions and methods (that's why we are using a framework).


Thanks guys for your help and cooperation!

eh?  why refuse to name the fields using CakePHP's conventions ...
effectively stopping you from using the perfectly good saveAll()
method to save both your Blog and multiple BlogUrl data with full
validation all in one call?  Are you confident that you can write a
better function than the one already in the core?
