Using QuickForm_Controller

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've spent the last month or so wrestling with QuickForm_Controller. I have almost defeated it, but it is putting up one hellacious fight. The biggest challenge is that no code which makes use of $_REQUEST['blah'] can ever be expected to work with QFC. This is because QFC stores state in $_SESSION in between requests, and looks there for everything. Of course, I stupidly had $_REQUEST crap all over my app. What I have had to do in order to make my application QFC-compatible is: 1) Replace all uses of $_REQUEST with $page->getSubmitValues(), or the various $controller->container() access hacks that are documented in QFC's FAQ, and 2) Make sure that all my hidden's are actual $page->addElement('hidden', blah blah) in the parent form, instead of hacking them in using ->toHTML() methods. This has often involved slipping references to the QF into my custom elements, much as Justin has done in his SubForm::setParentForm() method. I'm just noting this so that it will appear in the archives; hopefully others will Google for it and thus save themselves some pain in the future. - -ken - -- - --------------- The world's most affordable web hosting. http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCpzh5e8HF+6xeOIcRAu5LAJ9nZNOO47izCO4RiRWPmSUL1gSgmwCg2RGH kiqgwHSN4sobEfAOYkdzd/E= =2KxC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
