Symfony form binding issue: empty array

Question

i have some difficulties in understanding why my symfony form doesn't bind properly with the data from request...

The action:

public function executeSendEmail(sfWebRequest $request)
  {
      $history_id = $request->getParameter('id');

      if($request->isMethod(sfRequest::POST))
      {
            print_r("POST");

            $this->form = new SendEmailForm();

            $this->form->bind($request->getParameter('email_form'));
            print_r($request->getParameter('email_form'));

            if(!$this->form->isBound())
                    die('!isBound()');

            print_r($this->form->getValues());

            if($this->form->isValid())
            {
                die('form is Valid!');
            }
            die('after isValid...');
      }

      die('redirect !');

      $this->redirect('history/show?id='.$history_id);
  }

Form class:

class SendEmailForm extends sfForm
{
   public function setup()
   {
    $this->setWidgets(array(
      'author'  => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
      'email'   => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
      'subject' => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
      'body'    => new sfWidgetFormTextarea(),
    ));

    $this->setValidator('email', new sfValidatorEmail());


    $this->widgetSchema->setLabels(array(
          'author'  =>  'Autor',
          'email'   =>  'E-mail',
          'subject' =>  'Tytuł',
          'body'    =>  'Treść wiadomości'
    ));

    $this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('email_form[%s]');

    $this->errorSchema = new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this->validatorSchema);

    parent::setup();
   }
}

When entering the action the $request->getParameter('email_form') contains:

Array ( 
        [author] => RRr 
        [email] => [email protected] 
        [subject] => rrrr 
        [body] => rrrr 
        [_csrf_token] => 73881c1b6217e221c4d25c065ec93052 )

so it look correct but nevertheless binding fails because $this->form->getValues() returns empty array() and i don't know why ;s ?! Any suggestions ? Thx in advance

You have to use getValues() after you checked the form is valid. Otherwise in will return an empty array.

You can test to see what the errors are like this:

  if($this->form->hasErrors())
  {
    echo $this->form->renderGlobalErrors();
  }

If you're generating a form yourself, rather than using the Symfony helper, you might not have included / disabled the csrf token.

Your form class seems fine.

Try this in your action:

$this->form = new SendEmailForm();
if($request->isMethod('post')) 
{
    $this->form->bind($request->getParameter('email_form'));
    if($this->form->isValid()) 
    {
        $values = $this->form->getValues();
        var_dump($values['author']);

The bind() method is doing something like below, so if your form is not valid, you will get an empty array.

try
{
  $this->doBind(...);
  ...
}
catch (sfValidatorErrorSchema $e)
{
  $this->values = array(); //here
  $this->errorSchema = $e;
}
