Question

I have following action to display a form

public function showformAction() {  
   $this->view->form = new Form_MyForm();
   $this->view->form->setAction( 'submitform' );
}

above action shows a form successfully with only one textarea and submit button.

And I am using following action to submit above form:

public function submitformAction() {

    $form = new Form_MyForm();
    $request = $this->getRequest();

      if ( $request->isPost() ) {
           $values = $form->getValues();
           print_r($values);die();      
      } else {
           echo 'Invalid Form'; 
      }
}

Above action is showing following output:

Array ( [myfield] => ) 

It means it is not posting values correctly and always shows empty array or I am not getting posted values correctly. How to post values to submitformAction().

Thanks

I think you must use the isValid() before accessing the values of a submitted form, because it’s right there that the values are checked and valorized

public function submitformAction() {

    $form = new Form_MyForm();
    $request = $this->getRequest();

      if ( $request->isPost() ) {
          if ($form->isValid( $request->getPost() )) {
              $values = $form->getValues();
              print_r($values);die();     
          } 
      } else {
           echo 'Invalid Form'; 
      }
}
