Re: Zend_Form html entities problem

Hi,

This is because Zend_Form render's through Zend_View's helpers.  This escapes form values by default.  I use (in my controller) $this->view->setEscape('stripslashes').  This way your form values won't be converted to HTML Entities.  From inside your form class you can do $this->getView()->setEscape('stripslashes').

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

quick question; I am trying to create a dropdown box with all the country codes and names. The problem is, however, that many of these countries need html entities (as they contain umlauts, accent graves etcetera). If I use html entities like &euml; it will be converted by zend_form to &amp;uml;

Does anyone know how to circumvent this?

Sample code:

$this->addElement('select', 'country', array(

    'validators' => array(

        array(

         'regex', false, array('/^[A-Z]{2}$/',

),

),

    'label'=>'Land:',

    'required' => true,

'multiOptions' => array(

'AF'=>'Afghanistan','AL'=>'Albani&euml;','DZ'=>'Algerije','AS'=>'Amerikaanse Samoa','AD'=>'Andorra','AO'=>'Angola','AI'=>'Anguilla',

),

'decorators' => $this->elementDecorators

));

Thanks for helping!
