Great Job Man…
Thanks.
But i changed your function for get all created element by JS.
See this:
$arrElementos = $this->getElementsName();
$criarCampos = array_diff(array_keys($data), $arrElementos) ;
Thnks

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the post. I have two questions.

Is the Ajax step necessary? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to use JavaScript (jQuery) to build the new fields rather than sending an HTTP request to the server?

Your article was posted over two years- have you found any better ways of doing this in newer versions of ZF?

Thanks!

Thanks for this great explanation! This example really helped me create a form with dynamic sub-forms!

You could let the newfieldAction() in your example use a public method of the Form class to create the elements. Which you can also use in your preValidation() and init() methods. This way you only have to define them once.

One other small thing I would change.

Instead of using the $_POST array directly I would use this method:

$request->getPost()

Is there any easy way to start out with more then one field-set as default? I mean I want it to start on 10 fields and then be able to add more.

Found out what the problem was. I forgot the ! in if(!$this->_request->isPost()) {
$this->view->form = $form;
return;}
Thank you for the post.

Thank you
