Re: Pear HTML_QuickForm_Controller

This migth work (in your action class): function perform(&$page, $actionName) { // do some stuff $data =& $page->controller->container(); if ( isset($data['counter'] ) { $data['counter']++; } else { $data['counter'] = 1; } $page->handle('display); } I think this will increase the counter with one every time you call perform(). If you want to access the pointer from within your "page-class" write: $data =& $this->controller->container(); $counter = $data['counter']; The $page->controller->container() refereces a $_SESSION variable (that remains between subsequent calls - look in the PHP-manual). Don't forget to add the "session_start();" line in your code (look at the QF_C examples). No guarantee it will work but that is my tip. Tell me if I'm completely wrong. /Markus "Daniel Kopp" <pear@daniu.de> wrote: Hi! Thanks for the help! Now it becomes a bit clearer. Unfortunately I am still lacking some kind of breakthrough. Now I decided to use a variable that should count the number of members. In the beginning it should be set to 1 and then just increased by 1 through the Actionhandle of 'AddMember'. But ... How do I keep this variable alive throughout the session? Do I really need to use a hidden field, setConstant and ask for the field each time myself? Actually I would have wished that variables in the page-class would just be kept throughout the session (is there a way to achieve that?). And - where should I initialize it? Thanks a lot for your worthy help - I spend so much time on this and I guess you guys just know ...

I would like to have a Form were I can Add some fields by clicking a (submit) Button. Like this: Form to Enter family data ... Button: "Add family member" By clicking the button the form should be echoed again - with entry fields for one more family member. But ... How do I get back to the same form? I had 2 ideas: a rule: $this->addElement('submit', 'add','Add User'); $this->addElement('submit', $this->getButtonName('submit'), 'Send'); $this->addRule($this->getButtonName('submit'), 'Bitte Send eingeben', 'required', null 'client'); (to be honest - I don't really know what 'add' or $this->getButtonName('submit') means or how it has to be but I tried a lot so I just post it as I think this is not the problem even it might be wrong here) Unfortunately this does not work. It does not go back to the Form. It goes to the handle of "Add User" which was never intended to exist. The second solution would be to put it in the Form changing code in the handle of "Add User" but then I don't know how to declare the form as invalid and go back to it once more as the controller has finished validation already ... Any idea? Thanks! Daniel PS.: this is my first post here - hope I did not make any major mistakes
