Hi,
Here is what I am attempting to do using FormBuilder. I have two tables,
cities (cities_id INT auto_increment) and cities_description (cities_id,
languages_id, cities_name).
I want FormBuilder to make a form that will add a new entry to cities
and cities_description. The trick I'm trying to use is to have two forms
in one, as in the rapidprototyping-kr-1.pdf. What I would like it to do
is create a new entry in cities first, and use the resulting cities_id
to create the new entry in cities_description.
Here is my code :
<?php
$description = DB_DataObject::factory('cities_description');
/// this is because (cities_id,languages_id) is the primary key/
$description->keys('id');
$city = DB_DataObject::factory('cities');
$city->createSubmit=*false*;
$descriptionBuilder =& DB_DataObject_FormBuilder::create($description);
$cityBuilder =& DB_DataObject_FormBuilder::create($city);
$cityBuilder->elementNamePrefix = 'city';
$cityForm =& $cityBuilder->getForm();
$descriptionBuilder->elementNamePrefix = 'description';
$descriptionBuilder->useForm($cityForm);
$combinedForm =& $descriptionBuilder->getForm();
/// Create a FormBuilder for the post/
$formBuilder = &DB_DataObject_FormBuilder::create( $description );
/// Actually fetch the Form/
$form = &$formBuilder->getForm( );
/// If we validate, then we process it here/
if( $form->validate( ) ) {
$form->process( array( &$formBuilder, 'processForm' ), *false* );
/// Redirect/
header( "Location: http://" . $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_HOST' ] .
dirname( $_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF' ] ) . "/test4.php" );
}
$form->display( );
*?>*
Any help would be welcome.
Thank you,
Patrick
