Select options only pass 0

Question

Below is the twig I have for my form

<div class="input-group col-lg-11 col-lg-offset-1">
    <span>Type:</span>
    <select name="group-year-type[]" class="form-control year-type">
        <option value="0">Drama</option>
        <option value="1">Non-Drama</option>
    </select>
    <span>Year:</span>
    <input required="require" type="number" min="1950" max="2050" size="16" maxlength="10" class="form-control" name="group-year">
    <span>Status:</span>
    <select name="group-year-status[]" class="form-control year-status">
        <option value="0">Hidden</option>
        <option value="1">Show</option>
    </select>
</div>

They passed to my controller as below

            $formData = $request->request->all();
            $type = $formData['group-year-type'];
            $year = $formData['group-year-status'];
            $status = $formData['group-year-status'];
            $detect = '';
            $this->app['query']->insertDrama($type,$year,$status);

While my Module would put them into db as below

function insertDrama($type,$year,$status){
    $sql = array(
        'year_type' => $type,
        'year' => $year,
        'year_status'=>$status,
    );
    return $this->app['db']->insert('drama_cat', $sql);
}

Im not sure why, year is inserted properly but both my status and type are always with value 0. Please help.

Answer 1

remove [] from your name attributes from your select box . Make them like name="group-year-status" and so on.

Problem is it's create an array like below:-

Array(
    'group-year-status'=>Array(
           0 => 'your selected value'
     )
);

And that's why some-how at the time of fetching it always getting 0

Note:- I don't know Silex framework and how it interprets $formData, but the root cause of problem is this only.
