How can I make input name like this in Zend Framework 1.11 with Zend Form
<input name="name[]" class="name">
<input name="name[]" class="name">
<input name="name[]" class="name">
I do not want index/key in the array. I want it dynamic.

You can try do make your own View_Helper.
I can propose this:
In a My library, create Helper directory.
In this directory, create a FormArray.php file like this: (it's an adaptation of Zend_View_Helper_FormText class)
class Zend_View_Helper_FormArray extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement
{
public function formArray($name, $value = null, $attribs = null)
{
$info = $this->_getInfo($name, $value, $attribs);
extract($info); // name, value, attribs, options, listsep, disable
// build the element
$disabled = '';
if ($disable) {
// disabled
$disabled = ' disabled="disabled"';
}
$sep = '';
$end = 1;
if (isset($attribs['nb_repeat']) && is_int($attribs['nb_repeat']) && $attribs['nb_repeat'] >1)
$end = $attribs['nb_repeat'];
if (isset($attribs['sep_repeat']))
$sep = $attribs['sep_repeat'];
$xhtml = '';
unset($attribs['nb_repeat']);
unset($attribs['sep_repeat']);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $end; $i++){
if ($i != 1)
$xhtml .= $sep;
$xhtml .= '<input name="' . $this->view->escape($name) . '[]"'
. ' value="' . $this->view->escape($value) . '"'
. $disabled
. $this->_htmlAttribs($attribs)
. $this->getClosingBracket();
}
return $xhtml;
}
}
As you can see, I add 2 attributes nb_repeat and sep_repeat to define the number of input that you want and the separator betwwen each.
I also remove the id attribute.
In your Controller, add the path of this view Helper like this:
$this->view->addHelperPath('My/Helper/', 'My_Helper');
And now, in your form, you can create your element like this:
$test = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('name');
$test->setAttrib('class', 'name')
->setAttrib('nb_repeat', 3) // to have 3 input
->setAttrib('sep_repeat', "\n") // to have a new line betwwen each input in your code source
->addDecorators(array(
array('ViewHelper',
array('helper' => 'formArray')
),
)
);
I hope it will help you. :)
