$form->create, and the request method

[francky06l]

Hi All,

Using the latest 1.2 from the branch I noticed something that can
sometimes trouble an existing application.

When you create a form such as :

$form->create(array('controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'edit')), the
call to isPost (requestHandler) will return true.

Now doing :

$form->create(array('url' => '/users/edit')), the same call to the
requestHandler isPost will return false, but the isPut will return
true.

You can style pass 'style' => 'post' with the second method and that
will be seen as a "post".

This is coming from the form helper, which set the method as "put"
when no 'action' option is set in the parameter array.

I do not know if component such as "Security" and the require Post is
handling this correctly. Actually no a big deal, but that can make you
searching for a while.

$form->create(array('controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'edit')), the
call to isPost (requestHandler) will return true.

I can confirm that. This may be a bug, I'll ask nate about it. It basically happens if you don't give an 'action' parameter.

You can style pass 'style' => 'post' with the second method and that
will be seen as a "post".
  

I doubt this would work. I think you can set 'type' => 'post. to work around this.

Hi Felix,

You right, if you pass 'type' => 'post', it works (means the
requestHandler->isPost() returns true).
I can confirm that using 'url' => array('controller' => 'Users',
'action' => 'edit'), without 'type', will set the method as "put"..
I have a component that uses requestHandler->isPost(), and was
failing ..

That's the drawback of working with the the branch, in another hand I
learn a lot :-)
Thanks

This is intentional.
