 |
|
I am trying to figure out how to address the date fields. When I print this out, it only shows 6 in the array, not 7. The date field is missing. This is just a snippet of the code.
| Code: |
$opts = array('size' => 20 , 'maxlength' => 255);
// add selection list
$options = array('language' => 'en' ,
'format' => 'Ymd' ,
'minYear' => date('Y') - 1,
'maxYear' => date('Y') + 2);
$date_defaults = array(
'Y' => date('Y'),
'm' => date('m'),
'd' => date('d')
);
$form2->setDefaults(array('mydate' => $date_defaults));
$form2->addElement('date', 'mydate', 'Choose date', $options);
$form2->addElement('select', 'gl_codes', 'GL Codes:', $code->getGlCodes());
$form2->addElement('select', 'jl_codes', 'JL Codes:', $code->getJlCodes());
$form2->addElement('select', 'transaction_type_description', 'Transaction Types:', $trans->getTransType());
$form2->addElement('text', 'hours', 'Billable hours', $opts);
$form2->addElement('textarea', 'description', 'Description', array('rows' => 6 , 'cols' => 40));
$form2->addElement('submit', 'btnSubmit', 'Submit');
$form2->applyFilter('hours', 'trim');
$form2->applyFilter('description', 'trim');
if ($form2->validate())
{
// Form is validated, then processes the data
$form2->freeze();
$data = $form2->exportValues();
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($data);
echo "</pre>";
}
else
{
//$form2->display();
$formsource = $form2->toHtml();
}

Your code works fine here (I've replaced the method calls for the select elements by simply array() calls), it shows the "mydate" values in the var_dump() output.
Are you sure that you don't some dirty hacks in the lines that haven't shown here? |

That could in fact be the case. What I am really trying to get a handle on though, is how to assign the Y,m,d variables so that I can put it in a database. I believe it is arranged as a group, and I have not gotten my head around how that works. I wish I could find a book on quickform, it is very powerful, but some of the code snippets leave a lot to be desired.
Thanks again for your help, you are always very helpful.
thanks,
Danny |

You're right, internally are date elements groups of multiple select elements. That's the reason why you have to specify an array with 'Y', 'm', 'd' etc. keys for the setDefaults() call.
After submission you'll also get an array of values back. To insert a date into the database, you could build a string like this:
$date_for_db = $data['mydate']['Y'] . '-' . $data['mydate']['m'] . '-' . $data['mydate']['d'];
If you have also time values, you'll just need to extend this string by the time values in the correct format. |

Thanks, that is what I was looking for. An example is worth a thousand words.
thanks,

Ok, this is the code that broke it. I run the server that it runs on, so I don't have to worry about magic_quotes, anyway, but I am not sure how this works. This code came from the book by Sitepoint, The PHP Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks & Hacks, 2nd Edition. I just commented it out, and it works. If no-one comments for a few days, that understands why this caused a problem, I will mark this solved as it is, I am just curious why.
thanks,
Danny
| Code: | <?php
/**
* Checks for magic_quotes_gpc = On and strips them from incoming
* requests if necessary
*/
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$_GET = array_map('stripslashes', $_GET);
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes', $_POST);
$_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes', $_COOKIE);
}
?> |
