Setting Value on PHP Zend Form

Question

I currently have a form that will let you create a family.

FamilyForm.php

$description = new Textarea(self::KEY_FAMILY_DESCRIPTION);
$description->setAttribute("id", self::KEY_FAMILY_DESCRIPTION);
$description->setLabel("Description");
$this->add($description);    

$status = new Hidden(self::KEY_FAMILY_STATUS);
$status->setAttribute("id", self::KEY_FAMILY_STATUS); 
$this->add($status); 

$save = new Button(self::KEY_SAVE_BTN);
$save->setAttributes(array("id", self::KEY_SAVE_BTN));
$save->setLabel("Save");
$save->setValue("Save");
$this->add($save);

Create.phtml

<?php echo ctrlGroup($this, ProjectFamilyForm::KEY_FAMILY_DESCRIPTION, !($this->admin)); ?>
<?php echo ctrlGroup($this, ProjectFamilyForm::KEY_FAMILY_STATUS, !($this->admin)); ?>
<div class="form-actions">
      <?php $save = $this->form->get(ProjectFamilyForm::KEY_SAVE_BTN); ?>
      <?php $save->setAttribute("class", "btn btn-primary"); ?>
      <?php echo $this->formSubmit($save); ?>

      <a class="btn" href="<?php echo $this->url('home'); ?>">Cancel</a>
</div>

This works and allows me to input the description and the status of the family upon creation. However, everytime a family is created the status should be "active". However, the setValue() method seems to not be working.

Hm.... not sure but you have setAttributes in plural from and setAttribute in singular form. Relevant?. Or, are they 2 seperate methods? — Funk Forty Niner

I am not expert of ZEND but to do this some ways are there:-

most preferable way:- Make you db table field set type and set the default value to active.
Create a hidden field with predefined active value.

I ended up using the hidden field and got it working. Thanks!
