PEAR QuickForm

[pogij]

Hi.

I'm writing web application using PEAR Quickform and I came across this problem:

 

I have a quickform class which looks like something this:

 

class enaana extends HTML_QuckForm {

 

function enaena($x, $y) {

parent::HTML_QuickForm('', 'POST', '');

$this->addElement('hidden', 'iks', $x);

$this->addElement('hidden', 'ipsilon', $y);

$this->addElement('submit', 'submit', 'submit');

$this->display();

}

}

 

 

And I use this class several times in one page like this:

 

...

foreach ($trol as $t2) {

...

new enaena($t2->getIks(), $t2->getIpsilon());

...

}

...

 

 

 

When I load the page the HTML form looks normal like this:

 

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='1'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='a'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='2'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='b'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='3'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='c'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

 

 

But when I click one of the submit buttons for example second submit, the reloaded HTML page will look like this:

 

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='2'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='b'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='2'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='b'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<div>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' value='2'>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' value='b'>

<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'>

</div>

</form>

...

 

 

So all components values of all forms are replaced with the values from a form which was submitted.

 

Any ideas?

Because they all have the same name.

OK. But if instead of quickform i just write HTML code this does not happen:

 

<form ...>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' ...>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' ...>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' ...>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' ...>

</form>

...

<form ...>

<input type='hidden' name='iks' ...>

<input type='hidden' name='ipsilon' ...>

</form>

That's because (I'm assuming) quickform automatically loads the values back into the form when you press submit. And since they all have the same names, they all get the same value.

And there is probably no way telling quickform not to do this.

I don't know because I'm not familiar with it.

 

However you can easily solve this by giving each form field a unique name. So like iks1, iks2, iks3 ... etc.
