How to show data with checkboxes in zend Framework - php

Question

I am using Zend framework. In this i create a model and put my database connection in this model.
Here is my code so far :-
public function getTagusers(){
try {
$stat = $this->db->query("select a.tagCode child, b.tagCode parent " .
"from tag a, tag b where a.tagParentId=b.tagId");
$aResultData = $stat->fetchall();
}
catch(Exception $e){
error_log('Exception in '.__FUNCTION__.' : line '.__LINE__.' : '
. $e->getMessage());
}
return $aResultData;
}
Now I am using action in controller. My code is so far :-
public function listAction()
{
$tagusers =new Admin_Model_DbTable_Tagusers();
$this->view->taguser =$tagusers->fetchall();
}
Now finally i want to echo my data in view list.html. My code is so far :-
<script>
<!-- Begin
function Check(chk)
{
if(document.myform.Check_ctr.checked==true){
for (i = 0; i < chk.length; i++)
chk[i].checked = true ;
} else {
for (i = 0; i < chk.length; i++)
chk[i].checked = false ;
}
}
// End -->
</script>
<?php foreach($this->taguser as $taguser) ?>
<form name="myform" action="checkboxes.asp" method="post">
<b>Select Allowed keywords below:</b><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="Check_ctr" value="yes"
onClick="Check(document.myform.check_list)"><b>Select all keywords</b>
<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="1">
<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagCode);?><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="2">
<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagParentId);?><br>
</form>
But I am not able to echo the data properly. Can anyone explain me what I can do to echo the result according to my query.

Answer 1

first if you using Zend Framework as a framework as it appears... your first error is it normal for viewscripts to have the .phtml extension (i know you may have changed this).
next your php is incorrect:
<?php foreach($this->taguser as $taguser): //need to colon for alternate loop syntax ?>
<form name="myform" action="checkboxes.asp" method="post">
<b>Select Allowed keywords below:</b><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="Check_ctr" value="yes"
onClick="Check(document.myform.check_list)"><b>Select all keywords</b>
<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="1">
<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagCode);
//if this causes errors use
//array notation $taguser['tagCode']?><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="2">
<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagParentId);?><br>
</form>
<?php endforeach //need to end the foreach statement alternate syntax?>
I'm not going to critique your form, if you want built a separate form for each record that's your business.

Answer 2

Well, you're printing N forms (where N = count($this->taguser)), each one containing 3 checkboxes with the same value ('yes', '1' and '2', respectively), which makes no sense at all.
If I'm correct, your form should look like this:
<form name="myform" action="checkboxes.asp" method="post">
<b>Select Allowed keywords below:</b><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="Check_ctr" value="yes"
onClick="Check(document.myform.check_list)"><b>Select all keywords</b>
<br>
<?php foreach($this->taguser as $taguser): ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagCode);?>">
<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check_list" value="<?php echo $this->escape($taguser->tagParentId);?>">
<br>
<?php endforeach; ?>
Still, you should read about Zend_Form. It will be hard to understand it in the beginning, but it's totally worth it.
