getting values from my HTML Fields

Question

I tried to build a table grid. I wanted to see all relationed records and at the end a free row to add a new record. (All controllers, modules ... work fine if I build a single Form)

This is a code snippet index.phtml:

    foreach($this->aktermine as $termin) : 
?>


<tr>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><?php echo $this->escape($termin->nr);?></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><?php echo $this->escape($termin->kopfnr);?></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><?php echo $this->escape($termin->datum);?></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><?php echo $this->escape($termin->zeit);?></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><?php echo $this->escape($termin->thema);?></td>
<td></td>
</tr>

<?php 

$i=$i+1;
endforeach; 

?>
<tr>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><input name="nr1" type="text" size="2" maxlength="2"></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><input name="kopfnr1" type="text" size="2" maxlength="2"></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><input name="datum1" type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" ></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><input name="zeit1" type="text" size="10" maxlength="10"></td>
<td class="row_<?PHP echo $i % 2;?>"><input name="thema1" type="text" size="30" maxlength="30"></td>

</tr>
<a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('controller'=>'aktermine','action'=>'add', 'kopfnr'=>$termin->kopfnr));?>">Speichern</a>

In my controller add action I want to use the values from the last row (named with *1). I of course get the kopf nr with:

$knr = $this->_getParam('kopfnr', 0);

But how can I send and get the other values?

Here ist my form class I used before:

    class Application_Form_Aktermine extends Zend_Form
{

public function init()
    {
      $this->setName('Arbeitskalender Termine');

        $nr = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('nr');
            $nr->addFilter('Int');
        $kopfnr = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('kopfnr');
            $kopfnr->addFilter('Int');
        $datum = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('datum');
            $datum->setLabel('datum')
            ->addValidator(New Zend_Validate_Date('MM-DD-YYYY'))
            ->setAttrib('size', '20');
        $zeit = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('zeit');
            $zeit->setLabel('zeit')
            ->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Date(array('format' => 'H:i:s')))
            ->setAttrib('size', '20');

        $thema = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('thema');
            $thema->setLabel('thema')
            ->setRequired(true)
            ->addFilter('StripTags')
            ->addFilter('StringTrim')
            ->addValidator('NotEmpty');

        $submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
        $submit->setAttrib('loge', 'submitbutton');
        $this->addElements(array($nr, $kopfnr,$datum, $zeit, $thema, $submit));

    }
}

How can I change it to table view?

Please do not use HTML inputs. You should use your Application_Form_Aktermine in your view. If you want to render your form in a table you could use From Decorators

You could for example have a table with two columns, the first one for label and the second one for the Zend_Form_Element.

In init() function of your Application_Form_Aktermine classe, do something like :

public function init()
{
   // decorators here for form elements
     $elementDecoration = array(
        'ViewHelper',
        'Description',
        'Errors',
         array(array('data'=>'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td', 'valign' => 'TOP')),
         array('Label', array('tag' => 'td')),
         array('Errors'),
         array(array('row'=>'HtmlTag'),array('tag'=>'tr'))
     );
    // decorators here for button
     $buttonDecoration = array(
        'ViewHelper',
         array(array('data'  => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td')),
         array(array('label' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td', 'placement' => 'prepend')),
         array(array('row'   => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'tr')),
     );
     //form decoration
     $formDecoration = array(
        'FormElements',
         array(array('data'=>'HtmlTag'), array('tag'=>'table', 'class'=>'forms')),
        'Form'
     );

    // the rest of your code
    // just add ->setDecorators() for every element

    $this->setName('Arbeitskalender Termine');

    $nr = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('nr');
    $nr->addFilter('Int')
       ->setDecorators($elementDecoration);
         
    $kopfnr = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('kopfnr');
    $kopfnr->addFilter('Int')
           ->setDecorators($elementDecoration);
    $datum = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('datum');
    $datum->setLabel('datum')
          ->addValidator(New Zend_Validate_Date('MM-DD-YYYY'))
          ->setAttrib('size', '20')
          ->setDecorators($elementDecoration);
    $zeit = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('zeit');
    $zeit->setLabel('zeit')
         ->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Date(array('format' => 'H:i:s')))
         ->setAttrib('size', '20')
         ->setDecorators($elementDecoration);

    $thema = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('thema');
    $thema->setLabel('thema')
          ->setRequired(true)
          ->addFilter('StripTags')
          ->addFilter('StringTrim')
          ->addValidator('NotEmpty')
          ->setDecorators($elementDecoration);

    $submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
    $submit->setAttrib('loge', 'submitbutton')
           ->setDecorators($buttonDecoration);

    // add for decorator to your form
    $this->setDecorators($formDecoration);

    $this->addElements(array($nr, $kopfnr,$datum, $zeit, $thema, $submit));

}
