How to get Value from form (symfony 1.4)

Question

I've made complex form which is valid in action. I'd like to get value from this input to save file on server.

<input type="text" 
    name="produkty[pForm][1][caption]" 
    id="produkty_pForm_1_caption" />

I've tried something like that:

$this->form=new ProduktyForm();

if ($request->isMethod(sfRequest::POST))
{
   $this->form->bind($request->getParameter('produkty'),$request->getFiles('produkty'));
   if ( $this->form->isValid())
   {
       $file=$this->form->getValue('produkty[pForm][1][src]');
       $filename='u';
       $extension = $file->getExtension($file->getOriginalExtension());
       $file->save(sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/'.$filename.$extension);
   }
}

But it doesn't work.

Answer 1

'produkty' is the name of your form. Are you using a subform to capture an array of possible files to be input?

You could get the values of the entire form by doing this.

$form_vals = $this->form->getValues();

Then you could could see what variables you have by your output.

You'll probably be able to get the input this way.

$caption = $form_vals['pForm'][1]['caption']; 

this is working fine but how to fetch the values from file attributes . i cant get the values from file input my main form name is slide and subform is mslide

here is the my code

$this->multiSlideForm->bind($request->getParameter('slide'), $request->getFiles('slide'));
$form_vals = $this->multiSlideForm->getValues();
echo $form_vals['mslide'][0]['slide_name']; //working
echo $this->multiSlideForm->getValue('[mslide][0][file_name]')->getOriginalName();  //not working
