Question

EDIT: Resolved itself. Recreated the LoginController and issue is gone. Thanks for the responses!

So I’m fairly new to Zend, so maybe I’m missing something blaringly simple. The scenario is pretty straightforward. I have a Zend_Form on index submit to /login, where I want to handle the username and password vars. I use a custom decorator to setup the form, and the resulting HTML looks like so:

<form id="loginForm" name="loginForm" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" action="/login">
    <div class="input-container" id="username-container">
        <input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="" helper="formText">  
        <div class="input-overlay">Username/Email</div>
    </div>
    <div class="input-container" id="password-container">
        <input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="" helper="formPassword">
        <div class="input-overlay">Password</div>
    </div>
    <div id="dropdown-checkbox-forgot-container">
        <div class="checkbox-container" id="checkbox-container-rememberMe">
            <input type="hidden" name="rememberMe" value="0">
            <input type="checkbox" name="rememberMe" id="rememberMe" value="1" checked="checked" helper="formCheckbox" text="Remember me" class="light">
            <div class="light checkbox-text" id="checkbox-text-rememberMe">Remember me</div>
        </div>
        <a href="/login/forgot" class="medium" id="dropdown-forgot-password">Forgot password?</a>
    </div>
    <input type="image" name="login" id="dropdown-login-submit" src="">
</form>

Great! Let’s submit it! I put a simple var_dump in my LoginController to confirm that the values are transferred properly. var_dump($this->getRequest()->getPost()). FF and IE both show the values as they are supposed to be. However, Chrome and Safari do not show the username or password inputs. There is only a rememberMe value in the POST array. Strange…

Now I figure it might be Zend’s accessing of the POST superglobal, so I change my code to var_dump($_POST). Same problem. In frustration I tried var_dumping both the $_POST and $this->getRequest()->getPost()….and it worked!? It dumped one copy with only the rememberMe input and one copy with everything (username and password included). No idea why or how that worked. Any insight as to what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated!

Recreated my LoginController through ZendTool and all worked as expected.
