Hi everyone,

I'm having a hard time dealing with an error that appeared overnight
in one of my PHP script:

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'self::TYPE_HIDDEN' in
/#########/classes/framework/HTML/HTMLForm.php on line 120

HTMLForm.php snippet:

..........
// Creates the HTMLFormFields
foreach ($this->Record->Columns as $_column)
{
// Add only visible columns
if ($_column->IsVisible)
{
// Default field type
$_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_TEXT ;

// Adjust default type based on Column type
switch ($_column->Type)
{
case Column::TYPE_AUTONUMBER:
$_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_HIDDEN ;
break;

case Column::TYPE_BOOLEAN :
$_type=HTMLFormField::ELEMENT_TYPE_CHECKBOX ;
break;
default:
break;
117: }
118:
119: // Add the column to the list of fields
120: $this->Fields[$_column->Name]=new
121: HTMLFormField($this->Name,$_column,$_type);
122:
123: }

}

As you can see there is no refference to any TYPE_HIDDEN constant
at line 120, nor in the HTMLFormField's constructor.

I searched the net, but I just can't find the reason of this.
Can someone please me ?

Thanks,
Puiu

When the error happens. What are the contents of 120: $_column->Name ?

Here are the content for all used variables:

$_this->Name: (string) "FilterForm"
$_column:
StringColumn Object
(
[Table] => Roles
[Name] => RoleName
[Function] => like
[Type] => 4
[Min] =>
[Max] =>
[RegEx] =>
[AllowedValues] => Array
(
)

[IsValid] =>
[IsVisible] => 1
[Sorted] => 0
[Primary] =>
[Foreign] =>
[Negated] =>
[GroupBy] =>
[Aggregate] =>
[_value:protected] =>
)

$_type: (int) 1

Here is the HTMLFormField constructor, it is pretty simple :

/**
* Creates a new HTMLFormField object
*
* @param string $_formName Name of the form this field belongs to
* @param Column $_column Record object this column derives from
* @param int $_type Type of field, this determines the type of
HTML element that will be rendered
* @param string $_class Class name for the HTML element
* @param array $_values Array of display values for combos,
lists, radios
* @param string $_label Label to be displayed next to a radio,
check box
* @param string $_nullMessage Message that will be displayed
when a required field was not filled
* @param string $_invalidMessage Message that will be displayed
when the data entered is invalid
* @param string $_tooShortMessage Message displayed when the
field value is bellow minimum value or length
* @param string $_tooLongMessage Message displayed when the
field value is above maximum value or length
*/
public function
__construct($_formName,$_column=null,$_type=0,$_cl ass=''
,$_fieldValues=null,$_label="",$_nullMessage='',$_ invalidMessage='',$_tooShortMessage='',$_tooLongMe ssage='')
{
// Copy column's properties and save passed parameters
into local properties
if ($_column instanceof Column )
{
$this->Name=$_column->Name;
$this->RegEx=$_column->RegEx;
$this->Min=$_column->Min;
$this->Max=$_column->Max;
$this->Type=$_column->Type;
$this->Value=$_column->Value;
}

$this->FormName=$_formName;
$this->NullMessage=$_nullMessage;
$this->InvalidDataMessage=$_invalidMessage;
$this->TooLongMessage=$_tooShortMessage;
$this->TooLongMessage=$_tooLongMessage;
$this->Class=$_class;
$this->FieldValues=$_fieldValues;
$this->FieldType=$_type;

}

Trust me, it doesn't have any logical explanation

What happens inside the constructor when you create a new instance of
HTMLFormField?
Maybe the $_type is validated there. Or i'm missing something in this
snippet.
