Re: FormBuilder help

Thank you Justin, everything is working great.

Oh, and don't do this:

$description->keys('id');

Give your description table its own auto_inc PK.

I'm guessing this is because Data_Object does not support multi-field keys ? Is there any way to go around this other than adding an auto_inc PK to tables ? (I have 70 tables). Is it really that bad to do a "$description->keys('id');" ? Thank you, Patrick Justin Patrin wrote:

First of all thank you for you quick response. I just subsribed to the mailing list a few hours ago and I'm receiving any mails and I don't know why. Anyways, regarding the problem at hand, I did what you told me and it works to create a new city in the cities table. However, the id used for the description is not set right and I'm not sure I understand what you meant by "Make sure to set the city ID in the description DO before you process it, though." What I want is the citites_id that has just been created for the cities table.

Yes, as I said: $description->cities_id = $city->cities_id; Oh, and don't do this:

$description->keys('id');

Give your description table its own auto_inc PK.

But then you negate all of that here. You're using a description-only form from my last comment to here. That's not what you want. Instead of using $form, use $combinedForm. Then, to process, call $form->process with *both* of the formBuilder instances. First the city one, then the description one. Make sure to set the city ID in the description DO before you process it, though.
