Description: ------------ I'm using ajax to fill options of a <select> based on the event onchange of another <select>, when i submit the form i can't see in $form->getValue(); data from the ajax populated select. Test script: --------------- $fsText->addElement('text', 'txMatricola', array('style' => 'width: 300px;'), array('label' => 'Matricola:')); $fsText->addElement('select', 'selProduttore', array('style' => 'width: 200px;','onchange' => 'makeRequest(\'getmodelsbyprod.php\', \'selModello-0\',this.value)'), array('options' => $data_prod, 'label' => 'Produttore:')); $fsText->addElement('select', 'selModello', array('style' => 'width: 200px;'), array('label' => 'Modello:')); $fsText->addElement('submit', 'btSubmit', array('value' => 'Invia')); $fsText->addElement('hidden', 'hidValue'); Expected result: ---------------- i expect to see even an "selModello" entry in the array of results after validate. Actual result: -------------- array(5) { ["_qf__matricola"]=> string(0) "" ["txMatricola"]=> string(3) "abc" ["selProduttore"]=> string(1) "2" ["btSubmit"]=> string(5) "Invia" ["hidValue"]=> string(0) "" }

You need to fill the select's options server-side as well. getValue() checks whether the values could possibly be submitted by the given <select> and returns nothing as there are no options at all.

I think that we will have to make intrinsic validation optional for this kind of stuff.

See also bug #16974 for a possible fix

This bug has been fixed in SVN. If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET). If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly. Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release. Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better. It is now possible to pass 'intrinsic_validation' => false in $data array to Select constructor.
