Filtering non-numeric characters

JR1 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 17:46:10 GMT

Hi,

I'm pretty new to ZF and I'm struggling to get my head around filtering and validation. I have a field in a form for entering telephone numbers (UK only, 11 digits). What I'd like is for all white space and non-numeric characters to be filtered out, then for it to be validated to check if it is 11 digits long, so it would be stored in the database as a string of 11 digits regardless of how the user enters it. For example, if the user enters (1234) 567 8901 then it will be filtered to 12345678901, which would then pass the validation as it is 11 digits long. What I have so far:

Controller

Code:

$data  = $request->getPost();

                                                                        

if ($form->isValid($data))

{

        $data = $form->getValues();

Form

Code:

$telephone  -> setLabel('Telephone Number')

                                        -> addFilter(new Zend_Filter_PregReplace(array('match'=>'/^ $/', 'replace'=>'')))

                                        -> addValidator(new Zend_Validate_StringLength(11,11))

                                        -> addErrorMessage("Please enter a valid telephone number");

Thanks for any help.

Probl�me de balises php qui disparaissent dans la views

ariden — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:45:03 GMT

Bonjour,

j'ai un probl�me tr�s r�cent avec Zend, j'ai r�installer Xampp sur window xp pour avoir la derni�re version d'apache, php...

D�sormais, lorsque je visualise une page sur mon navigateur, les balises de pr�sentes dans mes views :
doctype() ?> headTitle(); ?> headScript(); ?> headStyle(); ?>

ce qui est assez g�nant, vous n'en douterez pas ^^

Je viens, en effet de re-param�trer les configs apache pour avoir le virtual host, un nom de domaine en local personnalis�, une ssl sur mon phpmadmin ....

Avant le reparam�trage de xampp et zend, tout fonctionnait correctement, donc je suppose que �a ne vient pas d'une erreur dans mon code.

D'o� cela peut'il venir ?

how to get dynamic URL like mydomain.com/username using zend framework

dev_joy — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:45:32 GMT

Hello guys

I am developing an application using zend framework. In the application I have to provide a URL for each user like mydomain.com/[username] then public will be able to view his profile. [username] is the username of the particular user

But how can I achieve this ? I think in ZF mydomain.com/username tries to get the controller with name username, but I should show user profiles in this URL and it must goes to the right controller if something else comein like mydomain.com/controller1

Please help

Thanks a lot

Display form validation error in view

Hi

I have a complicated form so I can't use

But this approach doesn't display validation error after form submit.
Is there an easy/clean way to do this?

Dispatching and overriding of controllers and views

oomta — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:37:11 GMT

Hi everybody,

I wanted to get your opinion(s) on how you would develop this...

I'm trying to create a file override system, similar to the approach used by Joomla for example, where controllers and views can be overridden.

For example, say this is found in the application folder

blog

controllers

ItemController.php

views

scripts

item

index.phtml

add.phtml

edit.phtml

Now let's say for example, this was delivered in a packaged solution. But somewhere along the way, the user decided to change the display listings of the blog for their solution only.

Ideally, rather than change the main index.phtml file, I'd like them to create another folder, perhaps called custom or something, with the same file and folder structure....

blog

controllers

views

scripts

item

index.phtml

Now, here's what I want the Zend MVC to do...

If the view file exists in the custom folder, then render that. Otherwise, fall back to the main application folder.

This may sound fairly simple, but here's where it gets complex...

I would ALSO like controllers to behave in the same way... defaulting to the custom folder before checking the application folder.

Basically, the scripts are interchangeable.

Also, the controller should not have to redefine every action. If I just wanted to override the index action for example, it should allow me to do this in the custom ItemController.php file, without having to redefine the add or edit action as well.

Also, if I wanted to add a custom action to the custom ItemController.php, say for example, searchAction, I can extend the class as required, adding the new searchAction to the custom controller and view folders.

This will allow the end user to tweak the application all they want, without compromising the original code.

Any thoughts? Has anybody seen / done this before?

How can I get my Zend Form to escape output?

tjorriemorrie — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:59:00 GMT

Hi, regarding XSS my form does not escape the output. I was under the impression that Zend_Form automatically escapes all output.

I've posted this on stackoverflow, but did not really solve the issue except that the problem was my form's output. Considering that output is done via

Code:

form ?>

how can I escape it?

Zend_form + AJAX

conti — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:36:33 GMT

Greetings everyone :)

I have just started to work with this great framework, and I believe that it's awesome. Although the learning curve is a bit high :), I think I'm doing fine.

Here is my problem, which is explain in this image:

I'll try to explain again:
The menu on the left DIV add content to "panels" DIV via AJAX (jQUERY). One of the option is to load a form to register users, as in the image below.

It is loaded perfectly, but when I submit the info the entire page is refreshed, reloading the action /settings/adduser in the entire page, as in this image:

And I'd like to load the form with the errors/feedback in the same "panels" div, like this image (a made up image):

I know how to do it without using a Zend_Form, but I'm becoming very frustrated because of not getting the same effect with a Zend_Form. I use Zend_form because of its easy ways to Validate/Filtrate input data.

index.php

Code:

// Define path to application directory

defined('APPLICATION_PATH')

    || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));



// Define application environment

defined('APPLICATION_ENV')

    || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'development'));



// Ensure library/ is on include_path

set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(

    realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../library'),

    get_include_path(),

)));



/** Zend_Application */

require_once 'Zend/Application.php';  



// Create application, bootstrap, and run

$application = new Zend_Application(

    APPLICATION_ENV,

    APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'

);

$application->bootstrap()

            ->run();

Bootstrap.php

Code:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap

{

    protected function _initModuleAutoloader ()

    {

        $al = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array('namespace' => 'App' , 'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__)));





    }

    protected function _initView (){

        // Initialize view

        $view = new Zend_View();

        $view->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT');

        $view->headTitle('BrainSINS Analytics');

        // Add it to the ViewRenderer

        $viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('ViewRenderer');

        $viewRenderer->setView($view);

        // Return it, so that it can be stored by the bootstrap

        return $view;

    }

    

    protected function _initSession (){

        

        $options = $this->getOptions();

        $session = new Zend_Session_Namespace($options['resources']['session']['namespace']);

        Zend_Registry::set('session', $session);

    }

application.ini

Code:

[production]

phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0

phpSettings.display_errors = 0

phpSettings.date.timezone = "Europe/Madrid"



includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"



bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"

bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"



resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"



resources.layout.layout = "layout"

resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts"



resources.frontController.plugins[] = "App_Plugin_SessionCheck"

resources.frontController.plugins[] = "App_Plugin_LangSelector"













[staging : production]



[testing : production]

phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1

phpSettings.display_errors = 1



[development : production]

phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1

phpSettings.display_errors = 1

/setttings/adduser

Code:

public function adduserAction(){



                        if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()){

                                $form = new App_Form_AddUser();



                        $request = $this->getRequest();

                        if (!$form->isValid($request->getPost())) {

                    

                            $this->view->form = $form;

                            return $this->render('adduser');

                        }else{

                                        echo "It's OK";

                                }

                

                        }else{

                                $flash = $this->_helper->getHelper('flashMessenger');

                                $ajaxContext = $this->_helper->getHelper('AjaxContext');

                            $this->view->message = $flash->getMessages();

                        }

                

                        $this->view->form = new App_Form_AddUser();



                        $this->render('adduser');        

                        

                        }

                



        }

App_Form_AddUser (init function)

Code:

 public function init (){

                //Zend_Form::setDefaultTranslator(Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate'));

                

                $this->setTranslator(Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate'));

                $this->setName('adduser');

                $this->setAction('adduser');

                $this->setMethod('post');

                $this->setAttrib('id', 'adduser');

                

                $this->addElement('text', 'first_name', array(

            'label'      => $this->getView()->translate('First name:'),

            'required'   => true,

            'validators' => array('Alpha',

                                                        array('StringLength', false, array(0,32))),

                        'filters' => array('StripTags','StringTrim'),

                ));

        $this->addElement('submit','submit', array (

            'label'      => $this->getView()->translate('Register')

                        

        ));

}

}

adduser.phtml

Code:




$this->headScript()->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js','text/javascript');

//$this->headScript()->appendFile('http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/jquery-ui.min.js','text/javascript');

//$this->headScript()->appendFile('../javascript/scripts_adduser.js','text/javascript');

//$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('../css/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.css');

//$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('../css/adduser.css');



?>




/*if (!empty($this->message)) {

        echo $this->escape($this->message[0]);

}*/

?>






echo $this->form; 





?>

If you need to see more code just tell me, I've put what I think is affected by this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Multi row forms

payonk — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:19:26 GMT

Hi,

I want to create form that enables editing of more then one element from table.

For example I have a Invoice form on which I have 1 or more products.
I should be able to change data for all product at the same page.

What is the best way to do it ?

I've found this article Building table based forms in Zend_Form � David's Tech Blog
But it seams too complicated.

linking to other controller/action

nadav — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:44:10 GMT

Hi,
I saw an exmaple of code for redirecting from one page to another page which is under a different controller. so i tried and used this code:

username?>

however it seems to add the parameter and its value (e.g. '/username/bob1') to the end of the URL in the browser. Is there a way to choose not to display it, or to redirect using a link in a different way?

Cheers

Nadav

Extending Controllers

automatix — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:14:57 GMT

Hello!

There are three controllers in /application/controllers: AController, BController and CController. I want the controllers B and C to extend A, also:

Code:

class BController extends AController {

    ...

}

and

Code:

class CController extends AController {

    ...

}

All these controllers have to stay in the folder "/application/controllers".

How can I do it?

Thanks
