Zend Framework2 : Post is not working correctly - php

Question

I am a Zend Framework beginner.
I guess My question is very basic... but I can't solve it by myself.
In indexAction, $request->isPost() is always false.
What is happening?
EntryController::indexAction
public function indexAction() {
$form = new AgreementForm();
$form->get('submit')->setValue('Go Entry Form');
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->isPost()) {
var_dump('//// $request->isPost() is true //////');
if ($form->get('agreementCheck')) {
// Redirect to list of entries
return $this->redirect()->toRoute('entry');
} else {
return array('form' => $form);
}
} else {
var_dump('//// $request->isPost() is false //////');
return array('form' => $form);
}
}
form in index.phtml
<?php
$form = $this->form;
$form->setAttribute('action', $this->url('entry', array('action' => 'index')));
$form->prepare();
echo $this->form()->openTag($form);
echo $this->formCheckbox($form->get('agreementCheck'));
echo $this->formSubmit($form->get('submit'));
echo $this->form()->closeTag();
?>
AgreementForm is generated using code generator.
http://zend-form-generator.123easywebsites.com/formgen/create
as below.
class AgreementForm extends Form {
public function __construct($name = null) {
parent::__construct('');
$this->setAttribute('method', 'post');
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'agreementCheck',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\MultiCheckbox',
'attributes' => array(
'required' => 'required',
'value' => '0',
),
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Checkboxes Label',
'value_options' => array(
'0' => 'Checkbox',
),
),
));
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'csrf',
'type' => 'Zend\Form\Element\Csrf',
));
$this->add(array(
'name' => 'submit',
'attributes' => array(
'type' => 'submit',
'value' => 'Go',
'id' => 'submitbutton',
),
));
}
}
Please tell me some hints.
update:
In the result of analysis by Developer Tools, POST and GET works at the same time.
update:
router definition #module.config.php is this.
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'entry' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/entry[/][:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Entry\Controller\Entry',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Entry\Controller\Entry',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),

Answer 1

A few things are wrong:
In the form class you add a csrf element, but you don't render it in the view. This will cause a validation error. So you need to add this to your view:
echo $this->formHidden($form->get('csrf'));
You're adding a Multicheckbox element to the form, but in your view you're using the formCheckbox view helper to render it. If you really want a Multicheckbox then you should render it with the formMultiCheckbox helper:
echo $this->formMultiCheckbox($form->get('agreementCheck'));
After these changes it should work.
Edit: Also you may want to pass a name to the form constructor:
parent::__construct('agreementform');

Answer 2

I think, you do not need to explicitly say
$form->setAttribute('action', $this->url('entry', array('action' => 'index')));
Omit that line, and see what happens.
