Why getPostParameters doesn't work on symfony 1.4? - php

Question

I have a form in symfony 1.4 which are created for each competence. My forms was created with success. But when I try to save my form I can't. I go to see my action code and the function getPostParameters seem dosn't work. I use getParameterHolder to see what's wrong in my parameters but after I put the good value the getPostParameters function doesn't work.
This is what I get from getParameterHolder:
sfParameterHolder Object
([parameters:protected] => Array
(
[professionnal_competence] => Array
(
[rayon_competence3] => 24
[rayon_competence9] => 22
[rayon_competence19] => 32
)
[module] => professionnal_subregion
[action] => saveCompetenceRadius
)
)
And my function:
public function executeSaveCompetenceRadius(sfWebRequest $request) {
$user = $this->getUser()->getGuardUser();
$q = ProfessionnalCompetenceQuery::create()
->addSelect('pc.*')
->where('pc.professionnal_id= ?', $user->getId());
$res = $q->execute();
$values = $request->getPostParameters(['professionnal_competence']);
$test = $request->getParameterHolder();
var_dump($values); print_r($values); print_r($request->getParameterHolder());
exit;
foreach ($res as $professionnalCompetence) {
foreach ($values['professionnal_competence'] as $k => $val) {
if ($k == 'rayon_competence' . $professionnalCompetence->getCompetenceId()) {
$professionnalCompetence->setRayonCompetence($val);
$professionnalCompetence->save();
}
}
}
return $this->renderComponent('professionnal_subregion', 'competenceRadius');
// return "test";
//return $this->renderPartial('professionnal_subregion/competenceradius');
}
This is my form:
class ProfessionnalCompetenceRadiusForm extends BaseProfessionnalCompetenceForm {
public function configure()
{
unset($this['rayon_competence']);
$this->widgetSchema['rayon_competence'.$this->object->getCompetenceId()] = new sfWidgetFormSelectUISlider(array('max'=>50,'step'=>1));
$this->widgetSchema->setHelp('rayon_competence'.$this->object->getCompetenceId(),'en kilomètres');
$this->widgetSchema->setLabel('rayon_competence'.$this->object->getCompetenceId(),'rayon');
$this->setValidator('rayon_competence'.$this->object->getCompetenceId(), new sfValidatorInteger(array('max'=>50)));
}
}
Someone has an idea or can help me ?? Because I try lot of thing but without success. Thank in advance :).

Answer 1

I think the error hides in this line:
$values = $request->getPostParameters(['professionnal_competence']);
You're passing an array to a function that takes a string. Try removing the brackets around 'professionnal_competence'.
EDIT: Scratch that. getPostParameters takes no parameters. getPostParameter, on the other hand, takes two - the first of which is the field name - a string. So, your code should be:
$values = $request->getPostParameter('professionnal_competence');

Answer 2

The error is here:
$values = $request->getPostParameters(['professionnal_competence']);
The function sfWebRequest::getPostParameters doesn't actually take parameters.
You can either access this array with [...], or use getPostParameter, which allows "safe" deep access:
$val = $request->getPostParameter('a[b]');
// basically the same as, but with error checks:
$val = $request->getPostParameters()['a']['b'];
