Why this zend example stops working when I add a hash to the form

Question

I'm following this example tutorial

project code: http://akrabat.com/wp-content/uploads/zf-tutorial-layoutform.zip

tutorial: http://akrabat.com/zend-framework/a-form-in-your-layout/

The project code runs as expected, until I add a hash element to the form. All I do is add this code in the form under application/forms/Signup.php

$hash = new Zend_Form_Element_Hash('hash');
$hash->setSalt('mysalt');
$this->addElement($hash);

This extra bit of code throws everything off. When I submit the form now, it gives me the error that the 2 tokens don't match.

Some troubleshooting:

• The problem is not the hash itself because it works fine in my other examples.
• I think has to do with how the request is being handled in this example, but not sure what the problem is exactly. I thought it had to do with the hop count, but when I edit Zend_Form_Element_Hash and changed the hop count from 1 to 100, I still got the same error.

That's the extent of troubleshooting I could think of at my level of expertise with Zend. So thought it's time to ask the big brains. I'm hoping someone can figure it out.

Answer 1

It works for you even after you've added the hash element to the form? If so, could you please upload your project and post as a separate answer.

All I did was add the code you posted and it worked fine. Where are you using this code? It sounds like something to do with your environment?
