Think of $options as an associative array of key/value pairs, where each of
the pairs is passed to a matching setter:
$form = new Zend_Form(array('foo' => 'bar'));
// Equivalent to:
$form = new Zend_Form();
$form->setFoo('bar');
Zend_Form first looks for a matching setter, but if none is found, it
assumes the key/value pair is meant for the form attributes (which is what
you saw in your test). The equivalent would be:
$form = new Zend_Form();
$form->foo = 'bar';
The neat thing is if you extend Zend_Form, you can supply the missing
"setFoo()" method:
class MyForm extends Zend_Form
{
protected $_foo;
public function setFoo($value)
{
$this->_foo = $value;
}
}
$form = new MyForm(array('foo' => 'bar'));
// Now truly equivalent to:
$form = new MyForm();
$form->setFoo('bar');
And lastly you can add the complimentary getFoo() method to retrieve that
value later:
class MyForm extends Zend_Form
{
/* ... */
public function getFoo()
{
return $this->_foo;
}
}
But with that said, this still won't help you in your case. The value of
"foo" will disappear on the next request. You'll need to either use a hidden
input (which can be spoofed by an evil user) or the session (much, much
harder to spoof). I hope this helps!
