Re: Form Conventions

What happens with validation once you have done what I suggested? It ought to change the behaviour...

I so should have realised that!

Does anyone have a comment/suggestion on question 2?

Cheers

Q1: The form is doing exactly what you want it to as the $i is inside single speech marks. Try $this->Form('Member.'.$i.'.name', ... then see what happens with validation.

My question is in two parts

Im making a form that has a certain part of it built with a 'for'

loop.  This form is for a booking:  the first couple of fields are for

the main contact details for the booking, the looped section is to get

the details for each person included in the booking, up to a maximum

of 10 people.

Please note:  at this point the information is not being stored in a

database, just being emailed.

Below is my form as I have it now.  I have removed some fields to

simplify it for this purpose, but once the form is submitted, some

validation is done.

Question 1:

Is there any way that I can use cakePHP to build the looped form

fields?

<?=$this->Form->text('Member.$i.name', array("size" => "40", "label"

=> false));?> does not work within the for loop, the fields end up

with: name="[Member][$i][name]" rather than name="[Member][1][name]"

etc...

Question 2

I want to do the validation and if there are issues, have the form

repopulated with the data (if all okay, will redirect to another

page).  My non-looped fields are repopulated with the data, but not

the looped fields.  What is required to get this to happen?

Hope this all makes sense...

<?=$this->Form->create('booking', array('url' => '/bookings/

bookingform', 'onSubmit' => 'return checkRequiredFields()'));?>

<table width="100%">

   <tr>

           <td align="right"><b>Name: </b></td>

           <td><?=$this->Form->text('Booking.name', array("size" => "40",

"label" => false, "onBlur" => "copyName()"));?> <b style="color:

#FF0000">*</b>       </td>

   </tr>

   <tr>

           <td align="right"><b>Email: </b></td>

           <td><?=$this->Form->text('Booking.email', array("size" => "40",

"label" => false));?> <b style="color: #FF0000">*</b>        </td>

   </tr>

</table>

<br>

<table cellpadding="0">

   <tbody>

       <tr>

           <td width="190"><b>Full Name</b></td>

                   <td width="40"><b>Age<br><span style="font-size: smaller">(if under

25)</span></b></td>

       </tr>

<?      for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++){ ?>

           <tr>

                   <td><input type="text" size="22" name="data[Member][<?=$i?>][name]"

id="Member<?=$i?>Name"></td>

                   <td><input type="text" size="3" name="data[Member][<?=$i?>][age]"

id="Member<?=$i?>Age"></td>

           </tr>

   <?   } ?>

   <tr>

                   <td colspan="5">

                           <?=$this->Form->button('CANCEL', array('style' => 'display:

inline', 'onclick' => 'history.back()')); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;

                           <?=$this->Form->button('FINISH BOOKING', array('id' =>

'finishSubmit', 'type'=>'submit', 'style' => 'display: inline', 'name'

=> 'submit', 'value' => 'finshApplication', 'onclick' => "

if(confirm('Are you sure?')){return true;}return false;  "));?>

                   </td>

           </tr>

  </table>
