[FLOW3-general] arrays in a HTML <form> and Property Mapping

[Christian Müller]

Hi,

you should start your array in another way, then it will be much easier, 
like so:

newPerson[0][name]
newPerson[1][name]

then you have an array of persons that should be mappable. To do that in 
the form you are probably better off to not use the object binding but 
directly assigning names:

<f:form.textfield name="newPerson[0][name]" id="name" /> <<< Btw. your example contains a duplicate id argument which is not allowed in html.


your echoAction should look roughly like so:

/**
  * @param array<\Test\Basic\Domain\Model\Person> $newPerson
  *
**/
public function echoAction(array $newPerson) {
	// do something here, $newPerson should be an array with Person objects inside
}



Cheers,
Christian
