Re: Undefined class constant

Here is the HTMLFormField constructor, it is pretty simple :

       /**
        * Creates a new HTMLFormField object
        *
        * @param string $_formName Name of the form this field belongs to
        * @param Column $_column Record object this column derives from
        * @param int $_type Type of field, this determines the type of HTML element that will be rendered
        * @param string $_class Class name for the HTML element
        * @param array $_values Array of display values for combos, lists, radios
        * @param string $_label Label to be displayed next to a radio, check box
        * @param string $_nullMessage Message that will be displayed when a required field was not filled
        * @param string $_invalidMessage Message that will be displayed when the data entered is invalid
        * @param string $_tooShortMessage Message displayed when the field value is bellow minimum value or length
        * @param string $_tooLongMessage Message displayed when the field value is above maximum value or length
        */
       public function __construct($_formName,$_column=null,$_type=0,$_class='' ,$_fieldValues=null,$_label="",$_nullMessage='',$_invalidMessage='',$_tooShortMessage='',$_tooLongMessage='')
       {
               // Copy column's properties and save passed parameters into local properties
               if ($_column instanceof Column )
               {
                       $this->Name=$_column->Name;
                       $this->RegEx=$_column->RegEx;
                       $this->Min=$_column->Min;
                       $this->Max=$_column->Max;
                       $this->Type=$_column->Type;
                       $this->Value=$_column->Value;
               }

               $this->FormName=$_formName;
               $this->NullMessage=$_nullMessage;
               $this->InvalidDataMessage=$_invalidMessage;
               $this->TooLongMessage=$_tooShortMessage;
               $this->TooLongMessage=$_tooLongMessage;
               $this->Class=$_class;
               $this->FieldValues=$_fieldValues;
               $this->FieldType=$_type;

       }

Trust me, it doesn't have any logical explanation :) Puiu T.Lensselink wrote:

Hi everyone,

I'm having a hard time dealing with an error that appeared overnight in one of my PHP script: Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'self::TYPE_HIDDEN' in /#########/classes/framework/HTML/HTMLForm.php on line 120 HTMLForm.php snippet: ......... // Creates the HTMLFormFields foreach ($this->Record->Columns as $_column) { // Add only visible columns if ($_column->IsVisible) { // Default field type $_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_TEXT ;

                 // Adjust default type based on Column type
                 switch ($_column->Type)
                 {
                 	case Column::TYPE_AUTONUMBER:
                    			  $_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_HIDDEN ;
                           break;

case Column::TYPE_BOOLEAN :

                           $_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_CHECKBOX
        

;

break; default: break; 117: } 118: 119: // Add the column to the list of fields 120: $this->Fields[$_column->Name]=new 121: HTMLFormField($this->Name,$_column,$_type); 122: 123: } } As you can see there is no refference to any TYPE_HIDDEN constant at line 120, nor in the HTMLFormField's constructor. I searched the net, but I just can't find the reason of this. Can someone please help me ? Thanks, Puiu

When the error happens. What are the contents of 120: $_column->Name ?

What happens inside the constructor when you create a new instance of HTMLFormField? Maybe the $_type is validated there. Or i'm missing something in this snippet.
