Question

I have a form with 2 input fields email and password(hidden) . I’m trying to generate a random value as below but failed to bind password(hidden) value after submit.

$password = substr(md5(rand(100000, 999999)), 0, 6);

$this->form->bind($request->setParameter('password',$password));

Form has the setNameformat with:

$this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('user[%s]');

Answer 1

If a doctrine (or propel) form, I would do this by setting the values on the object before passing to the form constructor, and completely removing the widget from the form.

eg:

$o = new DoctrineOrPropelObject;
$o->setPassword($myrandomstring);
$f = new DoctrineOrPropelObjectForm($o);

Then display/save the form as usual – the password value will be passed right through the form process to the database when saved.
