Zend Framework multiplay forms

I want get the follow thing working.

I've a page with a couple of text articles, each article has his own 'id' in the database. Below every article I want to make it possible to discuss about it. So I setup a discuss form witch I print with my article trough a 'foreach'.

In the form I added a Zend_Form_Element_Hidden. In the view I want to set the value of the hidden field with 'article_id', this likes me the best way to put it in the database?

In the foreach I try the follow thing but when I do this, the form is gone and I only get the element where I add the value.

My code in the view:

foreach ($this->paginator as $article):

    echo $this->form->getEleme开发者_StackOverflow中文版nt('article')->setValue($article['id']);

endforeach;

I hope some one can make this a bit more clear for me :)

With kind regards,

Nicky

I am guessing you want to print the form inside the loop but only the element is being printed.

If that is your problem, the reason is because setValue() returns the element and not the form.

// Your Code
// This will only print the element and not the entire form
echo $this->form->getElement('article')->setValue($article['id']);

You will have to change your code to:

// Set the element value first
$this->form->getElement('article')->setValue($article['id']);
// Then render the form
echo $this->form;
