Question

I’m trying to submit a simple form that has an array of fields:

<form>
<input type='text' name='Article[]' id='Article1' />
<input type='text' name='Article[]' id='Article2' />
<input type='text' name='Article[]' id='Article3' /> 

So, how do I set the different fields using SimpleTest?

(p.s. I’ve seen this question: Simpletest PHP scriptable browser… how to test submit a form that has [ ] in the form name (basically in array format)? but it doesn’t answer my question).

Answer 1

I figured out one way of doing this is to use setFieldById. Change the code to:

$form->setFieldById('Article1', 'Some Article Text 1'); 
$form->setFieldById('Article2', 'Some Article Text 2'); 

And so on. Works perfectly but assumes you can generate unique IDs for each field — not that difficult.
