#23746 [Csd]: Default values do not work when $_POST is set

ID: 23746 User updated by: nlenz at ivcf dot org Reported By: nlenz at ivcf dot org Status: Closed Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 Assigned To: mansion New Comment: The solution I proposed was wrong. If an empty string is submitted to a form, the form will keep the default value instead of using the empty string. !== should have been used instead of !=.

Create a QuickForm object using POST 3. Call setDefaults() 4. Default values will not show up, even though the element's name was not set in $_POST. Solution: In the element.php file, onQuickFormEvent method. Change: if (isset($caller->_submitValues) && count($caller->_submitValues) > 0) { To: if (isset($caller->_submitValues) && count($caller->_submitValues) > 0 && $this->_findValue($caller->_submitValues) != null) { ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23746&edit=1
