Hi, I just upgraded to HTML_Quickform 3.1 from 2.x - a big leap, apparently! Oh, and I changed PHP from 4.1.1 to 4.3.2 at the same time...fatal! I am creating a form, and passing the form into a function on a class so that the class could populate the form with fields pertinent to that class. Before today this worked. The code kinda looks like this: class MyInvoice { ... function buildForm( &$form) { $form->addElement(...); etc. } } And, in my page... $form = &new HTML_Quickform('myname', 'POST'); $myInstance = &new MyInvoice(); $myInstance->buildForm($form); If I log out the $form value before and after the call to buildForm, the values are the same. If I log the value of the form inside the buildform function, then I see all my elements. It's as if the form is not passed by reference, and the changes I make to it are not reflected in the calling code. Anyone have any insight? I guess it's more of a PHP problem as opposed to PEAR::Quickform, but everything else seems to be working OK. Thanks in advance, Geoff -- Geoff Hopson Objectology Ltd. http://www.objectology.co.uk/
