Zend Framework2 : Post is not working correctly

Question

I am a Zend Framework beginner. I guess My question is very basic... but I can't solve it by myself.

In indexAction, $request->isPost() is always false. What is happening?

EntryController::indexAction

public function indexAction() { $form = new AgreementForm(); $form->get('submit')->setValue('Go Entry Form'); $request = $this->getRequest(); if ($request->isPost()) { var_dump('//// $request->isPost() is true //////'); if ($form->get('agreementCheck')) { // Redirect to list of entries return $this->redirect()->toRoute('entry'); } else { return array('form' => $form); } } else { var_dump('//// $request->isPost() is false //////'); return array('form' => $form); } }

form in index.phtml

<?php $form = $this->form; $form->setAttribute('action', $this->url('entry', array('action' => 'index'))); $form->prepare(); echo $this->form()->openTag($form); echo $this->formCheckbox($form->get('agreementCheck')); echo $this->formSubmit($form->get('submit')); echo $this->form()->closeTag(); ?>

AgreementForm is generated using code generator. http://zend-form-generator.123easywebsites.com/formgen/create as below.

class AgreementForm extends Form { public function __construct($name = null) { parent::__construct(''); $this->setAttribute('method', 'post'); $this->add(array( 'name' => 'agreementCheck', 'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\MultiCheckbox', 'attributes' => array( 'required' => 'required', 'value' => '0', ), 'options' => array( 'label' => 'Checkboxes Label', 'value_options' => array( '0' => 'Checkbox', ), ), )); $this->add(array( 'name' => 'csrf', 'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Csrf', )); $this->add(array( 'name' => 'submit', 'attributes' => array( 'type' => 'submit', 'value' => 'Go', 'id' => 'submitbutton', ), )); } }

Please tell me some hints.

update: In the result of analysis by Developer Tools, POST and GET works at the same time. enter image description here

update: router definition @module.config.php is this.

'router' => array( 'routes' => array( 'entry' => array( 'type' => 'segment', 'options' => array( 'route' => '/entry[/][:action][/:id]', 'constraints' => array( 'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*', 'id' => '[0-9]+', ), 'defaults' => array( 'controller' => 'Entry\Controller\Entry', 'action' => 'index', ), ), ), 'home' => array( 'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal', 'options' => array( 'route' => '/', 'defaults' => array( 'controller' => 'Entry\Controller\Entry', 'action' => 'index', ), ), ), ), ),

check your HTML source to ensure the form method is POST and check the HTTP method after submitting with Firebug/Chrome debugger. — Bram Gerritsen

@BramGerritsen I make sure that form method is POST. But when submitting it, at the same time, Get method is runnning... By the way, index.phtml is defined as home in module.config.php — Jagie

May i ask what exactly the EXPECTED result and what the CURRENT result is? Because no matter what, you'll always end up with a Form being displayed! In success-case without data, on Failure case without — Sam

A few things are wrong:

In the form class you add a csrf element, but you don't render it in the view. This will cause a validation error. So you need to add this to your view:

echo $this->formHidden($form->get('csrf'));
You're adding a Multicheckbox element to the form, but in your view you're using the formCheckbox view helper to render it. If you really want a Multicheckbox then you should render it with the formMultiCheckbox helper:

echo $this->formMultiCheckbox($form->get('agreementCheck'));

After these changes it should work.

Edit: Also you may want to pass a name to the form constructor:

parent::__construct('agreementform');

Thank you! I tried following your answer but situation did not change. POST and GET method works at the same time when submitting. I guess this is the problem.
I think the problem is in the form action. Check the rendered html of the form and in particular the form action attribute.

I think, you do not need to explicitly say

$form->setAttribute('action', $this->url('entry', array('action' => 'index')));

Omit that line, and see what happens.
