[fw-general] Dynamic form validation
Hi all, An issue I come across reasonably regularly with ZF2 forms is dynamically setting validation rules based on other elements in the form. For example, let’s say I have a checkout form, where I capture users personal details and payment details. So would could maybe have a PaymentForm, with a PaymentDetails fieldset and a PersonalDetails fieldset. Each fieldset could have its own input filter and hence validate itself when the form is validated. All good. Now, what if we want the user to either be able to pay via credit card or PayPal. For this we might take the PaymentDetails fieldset further, by adding two sub fieldsets, CreditCardDetails and PayPal details. Within the PaymentDetails fieldset there might be a select option which allows the user to choose a credit card type or PayPal. If they choose PayPal, any values in the CreditCard fieldset are irrelevant, and shouldn’t be validated. I belive I should be using validation groups for this, but at what point do I set the validation group, should I do this in my controller action where the form is submitted, but before it is validated: Essentially getting the submitted value for the ‘payment type’ select option and manipulating the form input groups accordingly?? This I believe will work, but it would seem to tie the forms underlying logic to the controller a bit too much. Am I missing something, or would this be the ‘recommended way’? Cheers, Greg. -- List: fw-general@lists.zend.com Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: fw-general-unsubscr...@lists.zend.com

work around. In actual fact, there isn't much validation
that can be done here, the user selects options for which there is always a
default value.

Re: [fw-general] Validating route params are loading entities from route params
Thanks for your advice and the link Daniel. I'll take a look sounds like a
good option. To save the controller also having to do a similar DB query to
pull the entity back, I'm guessing that I could store it in a session variable
from within the preDispatch. I'm also using Doctrine, so another alternative
would be to just query again and allow the doctrine entity cache to take care
of this 'caching' element.
Cheers,
Greg

[fw-general] Validating route params are loading entities from route params
Hi all,
I'm developing a ZF2 site which has a booking process for events. The booking
process part of the site has consistent URLs like:
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/availability
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/seats
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/payment
http://mysite.com/book/TopEvent/confirm
I have an event entity stored in a relational database, that amongst other
things has a 'url_name' field which is used to reference the event in urls, a
bit nicer than using plain old ids. So in the above URL examples, the
'url_name' is TopEvent.
I have a controller names BookingController which has all the actions for the
above sample URLs, for example seatsAction. Currently, at the start of each
action I'm having to pull the 'url_name' parameter from the params, and search
for the event by url_name in my database. If no event is found, I return 404.
I have a controller plugin to help with this, and the code looks something like:
public function seatsAction()
{
// Check we have valid event
if (!$event = $this->SIL()->getEventFromRoute()) {
$this->logger->err("On seats page with no valid event, returning 404");
$this->getResponse()->setStatusCode(404);
return;
}
….
If I have 8 actions in my booking controller, this gets a bit repetitive.
Essentially, I'd like a way to return a 404 on all routes/action where the
event cannot be found.
And finally to the crux of my mail, I'd like some advice on the best way to do
this?
Perhaps I should be listening for some event within my controller (dispatch?)
and doing my check here (can I return 404 from this).
Or should I override the parent controllers onDispatch event?
Or, could I take this further and create a custom router that validates this
part of the URL against the database? If I went down this route, could that
custom router also load the entity for use within that request?
Any advise greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg.

[fw-general] Parameters and redirects
Hi all, I have just sent the below message from a different account, but there seems to have been some problem in my subscription and the message hasn't been circulated. I have checked the archives and can only apologise if the message does finally appear and I end up double posting. A simple one I hope... I'm trying to put together a redirect request, based on parameters from an original request. Essentially, I want to replace one parameter and then redirect the request with all the additional original parameters. I could do something like this, but can't help thinking there must be a nicer way. $params = $this->_getAllParams(); $params['new_param'] = 'some new param value'; unset($params['old_param']); unset($params['action']); unset($params['controller']); unset($params['module']); $this->_helper->Redirector->gotoRoute($params,'newRoute'); Obviously the bit I'm most unhappy about is having to unset the controller, action and module name to prevent these being passed as params to the new route. I thought $this->_request->getUserParams() might have done the trick, but unfortunately not. It works, but its not nice... Any advice most welcome. :wq
[fw-general] Call actions via CLI
Hi all, I'm currently using curl to call some actions at timed intervals using cron. This is a far from ideal method, but has provided a quick fix for now. I'd much prefer to call the actions via CLI, but I notice that there is currently no way to handle such requests. I appreciate there is currently a proposal in placed for Zend_Controller_Request_Cli (http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Controller_Request_Cli ), but this doesn't looked to have been touched for some time. Just wondering if there are any plans afoot to proceed with a CLI request object, or how others are currently using ZF with the CLI. :wq Greg.

[fw-general] Zend_Form, config and numeric option values
Hi all, I've hit a slight issue with Zend_Form and my XML config file and am wondering if anyone can suggest a way to work around this. Here is the definition for one of my forms fields from my config file: radio How would you rate the show: <5>Loved it <4>It was good <3>So / So <2>Not so Great <1>Not my thing I think the problem should be quite evident. I wish values for each option to be numeric, however numeric values are not valid XML element names as passed in via the multiOptions block. Can anybody suggest any alternative way of creating the options from an XML config which would allow me to use numeric values. I appreciate I could set the options on this element from within my code, but I would rather avoid this if at all possible. :eq Greg Frith.

[fw-general] Routing problem
Hi all,
I'm having some routing problems which I don't necessarily think the
group are going to be able to answer directly, but maybe give me some
pointers as to how I may debug further.
I have developed a site on my local machine where everything is
working just fine. Yesterday I copied the site over to a second
development server for my colleagues to start reviewing. However, on
the development server I'm getting an awful lot of
Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception exceptions thrown with the
message 'Invalid controller specified ().
I say an awful lot as not every request results in this. My default
index controller works fine, as does my Book controller, but all
others fail (please note that book controller is the real thing, and
not a typical library book example file! Its part of a booking
process). My directory structure is as follows:
www/application/
www/application/config/
www/application/modules/
www/application/modules/default/
www/application/modules/default/controller/
www/application/modules/default/controller/BookController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/ComingSoonController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/IndexController.php
www/application/modules/default/controller/StaticPagesController.php
www/application/modules/default/views/
www/application/templates/
www/htdocs/ <- doc root
As I say, the BookController and IndexController work fine, but
ComingSoonController and StaticPagesController are not found.
During a request for /comingsoon/index the request object looks like
this:
2007-08-15T08:03:32+01:00 DEBUG (7): Zend_Controller_Request_Http Object
(
[_requestUri:protected] => /default/ComingSoon/index/
[_baseUrl:protected] =>
[_basePath:protected] =>
[_pathInfo:protected] => /default/ComingSoon/index/
[_params:protected] => Array
(
[module] => default
[controller] => ComingSoon
[action] => index
)
[_aliases:protected] => Array
(
)
[_dispatched:protected] => 1
[_module:protected] => default
[_moduleKey:protected] => module
[_controller:protected] => ComingSoon
[_controllerKey:protected] => controller
[_action:protected] => index
[_actionKey:protected] => action
)
So the correct modules, controller and action parameters are being
taken from the URL.
All the controllers are working fine with exactly the same code on a
local development machine. The only real difference being the the
development machine has a local hostname and uses Apache Virtual
Hosts, whereas the new testing server on which the site fails is
accessed over the internet via its IP address. There is no domain
registered against it.
Some relevant lines from my bootstrap:
// Get front controller
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$modules = array('default',"$modulesDir/default/controller/");
$controller->setControllerDirectory($modules);
* NOTE THE ABOVE LINES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE
ISSUE, THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED ON THE WORKING SERVER *
// Add some additional routes - if we keep these they should come
from a config
$router = $controller->getRouter();
$router->addRoute('shows', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('shows/:event',
array('controller'=>'findashow','action'=>'showInfo')));
$router->addRoute('InsiderTips',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('insidertips/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'insidertips',
'category'=>'insidertips')));
$router->addRoute('whyus',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whyus/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whyus',
'category'=>'whyus')));
$router->addRoute('whybookapackage',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whybookapackage/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whybookapackage',
'category'=>'whybookapackage')));
Could anyone suggest any where I might start looking and debugging
further? Perhaps somewhere where the actual path to the action
controller is generated and an attempt is made to instantiate the
class might give me some clues as to what's going wrong?

Re: [fw-general] Routing problems - Invalid controller specified
Thanks Simon. Of course. For the benefit of the thread, my first server is OS X using the OSX Extended filesystem, which preserves case but isn't case sensitive. The second server is Ubuntu using ext3 filesystem which is case sensitive. I should have spotted this earlier! Now for a bit of re-naming! Beware to those developing on OS X! Many thanks, Greg.

[_dispatched:protected] => 1
[_module:protected] => default
[_moduleKey:protected] => module
[_controller:protected] => ComingSoon
[_controllerKey:protected] => controller
[_action:protected] => index
[_actionKey:protected] => action
)
So the correct modules, controller and action parameters are being
taken from the URL.
All the controllers are working fine with exactly the same code on a
local development machine. The only real difference being the the
development machine has a local hostname and uses Apache Virtual
Hosts, whereas the new testing server on which the site fails is
accessed over the internet via its IP address. There is no domain
registered against it.
Some relevant lines from my bootstrap:
// Get front controller
$controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$modules = array('default',"$modulesDir/default/controller/");
$controller->setControllerDirectory($modules);
* NOTE THE ABOVE LINES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE
ISSUE, THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED ON THE WORKING SERVER *
// Add some additional routes - if we keep these they should come
from a config
$router = $controller->getRouter();
$router->addRoute('shows', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('shows/:event',
array('controller'=>'findashow','action'=>'showInfo')));
$router->addRoute('InsiderTips',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('insidertips/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'insidertips',
'category'=>'insidertips')));
$router->addRoute('whyus',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whyus/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whyus',
'category'=>'whyus')));
$router->addRoute('whybookapackage',new Zend_Controller_Router_Route
('whybookapackage/:article',
array('controller'=>'staticPages',
'artion'=>'index',
'article'=>'whybookapackage',
'category'=>'whybookapackage')));
Could anyone suggest any where I might start looking and debugging
further? Perhaps somewhere where the actual path to the action
controller is generated and an attempt is made to instantiate the
class might give me some clues as to what's going wrong?
Many thank, Greg Frith.
Re: [fw-general] Zend_Session without cookies
HI Ramon,
Thanks for the link and info. I am using Firefox for my testing.
Although each of the issues described under that link are very
interesting, I'm don't think any are relevant to this issue.
Two points which I mentioned earlier and I feel are important to pin
pointing the problem:
1. The stand alone PHP script (shown in my original message) works.
PHP appends the session to the link as it renders the page and the
browser obviously passes this back (as really its just a URL
parameter that happens to be called PHPSESSID).
2. When testing through the framework, PHP is *not* appending the
PHPSESSID to links rendered in my view.
Many thanks, Greg.

Hi Greg,
This could have something to do with the security within the
browser. I had the same kind of issue where the PHP session ID
wasn't resent to the server by the browser, but only in IE. FireFox
worked fine. I also use local url's with entries in the local hosts
file, and I figured out that when using underscores in the domain
name, IE rejects the header.
Here's a longer list of reasons why this can occur:

Hi all,
I have a requirement to implement sessions on 'part' of a site.
As the session is not required for the majority of pages, I am
only calling Zend_Session::start() in the init() method of the
controller which controls all the pages which require the session.
The problem is that my client wants the site to be usable with
cookies disabled. I appreciate all the security concerns, this is
another issue! So, I have to use session ID's passed in the URL.
This is what I have done:
A section in my config file:
[session]
use_cookies = off
use_only_cookies = off
strict = on
use_trans_sid = 1
Then as part of the bootstrap process:
// Setup session options
if ($config->session) {
Zend_Session::setOptions($config->session->toArray());
}
So we should now have the Zend_Session configured correctly. Then
I have a controller called book with the following functions:
public function init() {
// Start the session
Zend_Session::start();
}
public function indexAction() {
// Just let the view render for now
}
Please note that I am using the ViewRenderer helper. In the view:
in book/index with session
link
The URL I use on my local machine for the project is http://
wetb.nidd.local/. So, if i try http://wetb.nidd.local/book/, I
see something like:
in book/index with session PHPSESSID=e52d7461d4d021298ccb2e77316d3cba
link
But here is the problem: each time I refresh the page or click the
'link', I get a different session ID. In addition, the PHPSESSID
is not getting appended to the link I put in my view.
I have also tried setting the session parameter directly in my
php.ini file. The following straight php script:
link";
echo SID;
?>
Gives the results I would expect, with the PHPSESSID appended to
my link and same session id displayed on each click of the link or
page refresh.
I would much appreciate any hints or tips that could be provided
to get URL based session working in my project.
Many thanks, Greg Frith.

Re: [fw-general] Data models
Thanks Bill, I've just about come to this conclusion myself having read through the great thread suggested by Karol. Essentially now I know there is no one best way of doing things. Many thanks, Greg Frith. On 20 Jul 2007, at 16:52, Bill Karwin wrote: Right; I don't believe it's appropriate to assume that a "model" can simply extend a table or row object. It's better to write your own model class, extending nothing, that may use a table or row object, and may also use other sources of data, such as a SOAP service.
