Zend_Form not rendering

Question

Folks, I'm having some problems making a form render/display in my webpage. Well, it works fine in my local server, but once I use the same code in a remote server, the webpage displays fine, but the form is missing.

Localhost:
OS: Win 7
PHP: 5.3.8
Apache: 2.2.21
Zend: 1.11.3

Remote Server:
OS: Linux CentOS release 5.5
PHP: 5.3.8
Apache: 2.2.3
Zend: 1.11.3

FeedbackForm.php

class forms_FeedbackForm extends Zend_Form {

public function init() {

$this->setAction('')->setMethod('post')->setName('feedbackForm');

$feedback = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('feedback');

$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Button('submitButton');

$this->addElement($feedback)->addElement($submit);
} }

IndexController.php

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

public function indexAction() {

$form = new forms_FeedbackForm();
 $this->view->form = $form; 
} }

index.phtml

echo $this->form;

However, if I replace the echo statement with print_r($this->form), I see the object details with both servers.

Use a capital for your class: Forms_FeedbackForm instead of forms_FeedbackForm. The autoloader doesn't find it on Linux.

Generally when problems like this occure between Linux and Windows servers it's a capital problem. Linux is case sensitive, windows isn't.

Your code looks fine. I suggest you set display exceptions on in your application.ini:

resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1 And make sure your error view displays exceptions.

Thanks for the advise, but that didn't do anything either. Still no form!

I can see the form object details if I do a print_r() instead of echo

Fino Over a year ago

what do you see when you do: echo $this->form->render(); ?

Same. Still so form on Linux, and the localhost still works fine.

Btw, just did a diff on the form objects outputted with print_r() and they are exactly the same.

Make sure that your view looks like <?php echo $this->form; ?>, otherwise, the PHP won't actually execute.
