Hi!

I can't figure out how to add uploaded files as BLOB to MySQL…
Any ideas? :)

Hi Rob,

When will be the App_Form_Element_File available in the Zend Framework? So will be there anything like this: Zend_Form_Element_File?

Thank you for your answer!
Best Regards, from Hungary!

Does someone have good results with subforms ?
Here,
$form = $this->getBelongsTo(); return null value

Clayton,

I think you are expected to create a My_Form that extends Zend_Form and then all your app's forms extend you form class.

After playing around I determined on this…
Override the constructor of an extended Zend_Form and before init() is called, do this:
$this->getPluginLoader(Zend_Form::ELEMENT)->addPrefixPath('Project_Form_Element', 'Project/Form/Element');

I really would like to know if there was a more obvious/intuitive way to do this as creating custom elements seems pretty common.. or, is the expectation to always use decorators?

How is it possible to make it so the element can be added by using addElement? e.g., $form->addElement('file', …);

Thanks! Great tutorial.. but I can't seem to rid the "htmlspecialchars" warning. Was there a fix for this? I tried a couple of people's solutions but since the validator is extending Zend_Validate_Abstract it throws errors when trying to refrence the instances and certain parent:: stuff.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry Rob but it doesn't work at all if you have more than one "file" input.

I don't know what me must do.

Thank

Thanks for good example!

I think that implementing allowEmpty flag may be good idea. E.g. in App_Form_Element_File::isValid():

if ((!isset($_FILES[$key]) || !strlen($_FILES[$key]['name'])) && !$this->isRequired() && $this->getAllowEmpty()) {
return true;
}
