strange problem with form_input and attributes array - El Forum - 05-17-2008
[eluser]Fabdrol[/eluser]
Hi people,
After quite some years of php experience and writing almost the same code over and over again, I also discovered CI. I could fill this entire topic about the greatness of it, but I don't.
Instead, I post a problem what is teasing me ever since I started coding on my latest project. so. what is wrong?
I use the following code to generate an input field:
Code:
$link_attr = array('name' => 'link', 'id' => 'link', 'value' => 'http://', 'class' => 'form_input');
$data['form'] = form_input($link_attr) . "<br />\n";when I try to test it, there are two possibilities:
1. the value isn't loaded into the field at all
2. I get this error:
Code:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW, expecting ')' in /Users/Fabian/Sites/Brilliance Server/codeIgniter/system/application/controllers/dynamics.php on line 50Is there anybody who knows why this error occures? If I read correctly, the following syntax is presented in the user guide:
Quote:Code:$data = array(
'name' => 'username',
'id' => 'username',
'value' => 'johndoe',
'maxlength' => '100',
'size' => '50',
'style' => 'width:50%',
);
echo form_input($data);
// Would produce:
<input type="text" name="username" id="username" value="johndoe" maxlength="100" size="50" style="width:50%" />
If somebody could help me, I'd love you forever! ;-P

Can't reproduce, can you do me a favor and try to reduce the error and post a whole controller.
For example, does this work for you:
Code:
<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
class Test extends Controller {
/**
* Constructor
*
* @access public
*/
function Test()
{
parent::Controller();
}
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* Forum Tests
*
* @access public
*/
function index()
{
$this->load->helper('form');
$link_attr = array('name' => 'link', 'id' => 'link', 'value' => 'http://', 'class' => 'form_input');
echo form_input($link_attr) . "<br />\n";
}

}Hmm I can, but that would be of no help. My class is very very long and I don't think I'd make you happy posting it completely..
but, here is a shortened version:
Code:
<?php
class Dynamics extends Controller {
function Dynamics() {
parent::Controller();
}
function cfg($key) {
// set some config stuff
}
function taal($key, $taal) {
// set language stuff and so
}
function new_page() {
$form_attr = array('id' => 'new_page');
$titel_attr = array('name' => 'titel', 'id' => 'titel', 'class' => 'form_input');
$basic_attr = array('name' => 'basic', 'id' => 'basic', 'class' => 'form_area');
$link_attr = array('name' => 'link', 'id' => 'link', 'value' => 'http://', 'class' => 'form_input');
$data['base'] = base_url();
$data['pagetitle'] = $this->taal('new_page_title', $this->cfg('taal'));
$data['form'] = '<div id="newpage" class="form_wrapper">';
$data['form'] .= form_open('dynamics/save_page/', $form_attr); // form openen
$data['form'] .= form_hidden('action', 'new'); // stuur save_page() aan om de pagina op te slaan.
$data['form'] .= form_fieldset($this->taal('new_general_fieldset', $this->cfg('taal'))) . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_input($titel_attr) . "<br />\n";
// ^ titel input veld
$data['form'] .= form_checkbox('published', 'true', TRUE) . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_label($this->taal('new_published_label', $this->cfg('taal')), 'published') . "<br /><br />\n";
// ^ published checkbox
$data['form'] .= form_radio('type', 'basic', TRUE, 'onclick="swapType(\'basic\')"') . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_label($this->taal('new_type_label_basic', $this->cfg('taal')), 'basic') . "<br />\n";
// ^ basic type radio, selected
$data['form'] .= form_radio('type', 'custom', FALSE, 'onclick="swapType(\'custom\')"') . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_label($this->taal('new_type_label_custom', $this->cfg('taal')), 'custom') . "<br />\n";
// ^ custom type radio, unselected
$data['form'] .= form_radio('type', 'link', FALSE, 'onclick="swapType(\'link\')"') . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_label($this->taal('new_type_label_link', $this->cfg('taal')), 'link') . "<br />\n";
// ^ link type radio, unselected
$data['form'] .= form_fieldset_close() . "<br />\n";
$data['form'] .= form_fieldset($this->taal('new_content_fieldset', $this->cfg('taal'))) . "\n";
$data['form'] .= '<div id="type_basic">' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_textarea($basic_attr) . "<br /><br />\n";
$data['form'] .= '</div>' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= '<div id="type_custom" style="display: none;">' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= '</div>' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= '<div id="type_link" style="display: none;">' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_input($link_attr) . "<br />\n";
$data['form'] .= '</div>' . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_fieldset_close() . "<br />\n";
$data['form'] .= form_fieldset($this->taal('new_submit_fieldset', $this->cfg('taal'))) . "\n";
$data['form'] .= form_submit('save', $this->taal('new_submit_button', $this->cfg('taal'))) . "<br />\n";

}
function save_page() {
// do stuff
}

Right, that's why I said reduced. Basically what I'm asking is if you can reproduce the bug on a small test. I just plugged your function into my setup, replaced all the taal stuff with 'hello', and it rendered perfectly.

Hi
CI don't work properly with form submitted arrays like combo boxes, list boxes and check boxes. Have a look at the below thread to deal with that:

Which line is line 50?
Also, may I also suggest that you remove the display logic (the form generation) from the controller and put it in the view - all that HTML - that's what the view is for (even functions that generate HTML)
