I'm pretty confused about this element ...
My form code:
$career = new Zend_Form_Element_MultiCheckbox('career_name');
$career->setLabel('Careers');
$career->setMultiOptions($careers)
->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array(array('elementTable' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'table')),
array(array('elementDiv' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'div', 'class' =>
'overflowDiv')),
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td', 'class' => 'element')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'td')),
array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'tr'))
));
$this->addElement($career);
$careers is an assoc array with key = id and value = name
This creates html that I would think would work ... e.g.
< ... >
<label for="career_name-1"><input type="checkbox" name="career_name[]"
id="career_name-1" value="1" />Brewmaster</label><br /> <label
for="career_name-3"><input type="checkbox" name="career_name[]"
id="career_name-3" value="3" />Lunch Server</label><br />
< ... >
However, when I check any number of boxes, the key 'career_name' shows up in
the $_POST but it is an empty array. If no boxes are checked, the key does not
show up in $_POST (expected). $form->getValues() has nothing related to
'career_name' whether or not anything is checked.
If I create a simple test case using the html above, $_POST returns an array of
vals for career_name for each box checked and nothing if nothing is checked as
expected. It certainly seems as if ZF is stripping the values out of the
$_POST??
Any thoughts?
