How to get several data from a form? - php

Question

I have two added form. In the first, I choose one client and for him I add several domains names.
Then, when I clik to next, I arrived on a second form in which there are the several domains names (I added before ) in each row with others fields for each one (registar, url and remark). It seems to like this :
toto.com | Directnic | www.toto.com | blablabla
toto.fr | Afnic | www.toto.fr | bla
toto.net | Gandi | www.toto.net | blabla
But when I want to recover this data into my action to add them into my database, I get only the last line. Why ?
My form :
<form action="<?php echo url_for('#add_domaines');?>" method="post">
<?php echo $form->renderGlobalErrors() ?>
<table class="form_add_domaines">
<thead>
<tr>
<th><?php echo $form['nom_domaine']->renderLabel()?></th>
<th><?php echo $form['compte_registar_id']->renderLabel() ?></th>
<th><?php echo $form['url']->renderLabel() ?></th>
<th><?php echo $form['remarque']->renderLabel() ?></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
$domaines = explode("\n",$add_domaines);
for($i=0; $i<count($domaines); $i++)
{?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
if(1==strcmp(' ', $domaines[$i]))
{
echo "<span style='color:red;'>"."<b>Warning, missing domain name.</b>"."</span>";
}
else
{
echo $domaines[$i];
}
?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $form['compte_registar_id']->renderError() ?>
<?php echo $form['compte_registar_id'] ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $form['url']->renderError() ?>
<?php echo $form['url'] ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $form['remarque']->renderError() ?>
<?php echo $form['remarque'] ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo link_to(__('Back', array(), 'sf_admin'), '#domaine_new') ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $form->renderHiddenFields(false) ?>
<input type="submit" class="submit" value="Add" />
</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</form>
My action :
[...]
$this->form = new AddDomainesForm();
$this->form->setDefault('client_id', $idClient);
$this->form->setDefault('nom_domaine', $noms_domaine);
if($request->isMethod('post'))
{
$name = $this->form->getName();
$values = $request->getParameter($name);
$files = $request->getFiles($name);
$this->form->bind($values, $files);
if($this->form->isValid())
{
print_r($values);break;
//$this->form->save();
$this->getUser()->setFlash('notice', 'OK.');
$this->redirect('#domaine');
}
}
print_r($values) return only the last row of my form
Array ( [compte_registar_id] => 1 [url] => www.toto.net [remarque] => blabla [nom_domaine] => toto.com toto.fr toto.net [client_id] => 17 [_csrf_token] => ... )
Thank you !

When multiple form elements have the same name, only the last one will be taken.
Did you see that cou can send arrays directly?
<inut type="text" name="foobarlist[]">
<inut type="text" name="foobarlist[]">
<inut type="text" name="foobarlist[]">
$_GET['foobarlist'] will return an array with 3 elements.
The brackets are the key.
