I'm having some difficulty adding the method and the action, and getting them to display.
I'm creating a form, then grabbing some info about fields that should go into it from a Database, and then adding them to the form, then rendering it. It all works perfectly up to the point, where I want to submit the form, since there is no method or action.
Here's the code, var_dump and generated HTML:
public function getForm($id) {
$ar= $this->formElementModel->getElements($id);
//print_r($ar);
$form= new Zend_Form();
$form->setAction('/resource/process')
->setMethod('post');
foreach ($ar as $arr) {
$form->addElement($this->elementModel->getElement($arr['formElementId'], $this->genRandomString(),false));
//$fieldArray[] = ;
}
$form->addElement('submit', 'submit',array('order'=>100))->setMethod('post');
var_dump($form);
// var_dump($fieldArray);
return $form;
}
The var_dump() output:

The controller script
public function viewAction($formId=NULL) {
$id = $formId;
if ($formId === NULL) {
$id = $this->_getParam('id');
}
$form=$this->formModel->getForm($id);
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
print_r($this->_getAllParams());
}
$this->view->fields =$form ->render();
}
Help?!
[EDIT] Just found out something weird. If I create a form inside the Controller and add the fields there, it renders ok. If I pass the Form to the Model and the back, the method and action is gone, even though, it was there before.
I shall try creating a new form in it's own file, dynamically add the fields in the Form file, and then get it back. [EDIT2] Just found out something else, that's weird. When I echo the form straight form the controller, it works just fine. If I assign it to a view variable, and then echo it in the view, it doesn't work.
