inserting doctrine form data to database in symfony 1.4

Question

I am trying to insert data into a MySQL database.

Here is my form, in action.class.php $this->formTodo = new LpTodoGeneralForm();

and the LpTodoGeneralForm.class.php is:

<?php

class LpTodoGeneralForm extends BaseFormDoctrine{
    public function configure(){      
        $this->widgetSchema['deadline_date'] = new sfWidgetFormInputText(array(), array('class' => 'input-text small datepicker', 'readonly' => 'readonly'));
        $this->widgetSchema['firm_name'] = new sfWidgetFormInputText(array(), array('class' => 'input-text datepicker'));
        $this->validatorSchema['todo_by'] = new sfValidatorPass(array('required' => true));
        $this->widgetSchema['todo_by'] = new sfWidgetFormInputText(array(), array('class' => 'input-text small datepicker', 'readonly' => 'readonly'));
    }

    public function setup(){
        $this->setWidgets(array(
            'done'              => new sfWidgetFormInputCheckbox(),
            'deadline'          => new sfWidgetFormInputCheckbox(),
            'deadline_date'         => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
            'firm_name'         => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
            'description'       => new sfWidgetFormTextarea(),
            'todo_by'         => new sfWidgetFormInputText(),
        ));

        $this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('todo[%s]');
        $this->errorSchema = new sfValidatorErrorSchema($this->validatorSchema);
        $this->setupInheritance();

        parent::setup();
    }

    public function getModelName(){
        return 'Todo';
    }  
}

While submitting the form I am getting the post data in action.class.php. My challenge is how to insert this data into the database.

Answer 1

the link is dead for rb vishnu's last comment.

and 1ed is correct.

The form will insert the data once the validator for deadline_date is created.

the "extra form field" is a pretty common issue in symfony 1.4 forms.
