You short-circuit the MVC model offered by Zend Framework whereas you should
use a Zend_Form for your HTML form element in a controller and populate it
with your model, then you affect it to the view. A really quick example :
*MyForm.php*
function init()
{
$faculty = new Zend_Form_Element_Select('faculty');
$faculty->addMultiOPtions("", '-- Faculty --');
$this->addElement($faculty);
}
*MyController.php*
function sampleAction()
{
// Data
$model = new Material_Model_Faculty();
$faculties = $model->getAll();
unset($model);
// Form
$form = new MyForm();
foreach ($faculties as $faculty)
{
$form->getElement('faculty')->addMultiOptions($this->url(array("faculty" =>
$faculty->id), "materials"), $faculty->name);
}
$this->view->form = $form;
return;
}
*MyController/sample.phtml*
<?php print($this->form); ?>
or for more flexibility
<?php print($this->form->getElement('faculty')); ?>
Hope sincerely this will help you
