Hello everyone,

I am currently using a class called HTML_QuickForm_date
(/usr/share/php/HTML/QuickForm). And I would like to have an array appended
to 'emptyOptiontext'. For example in my program I would like to use

$arr = array("text1" => null, "text2" => "not_answered");

$config =& NDB_Config::singleton();
$this->dateOptions = array(
'language' => 'en',
'format' => 'YMd',
'minYear' => $config->getSetting('startYear'),
'maxYear' => $config->getSetting('endYear'),
'addEmptyOption' => true
'emptyOptionText' => $arr
);

where array contains the the two text values which I want the
'emptyoptiontext' to represent. Hower when I do :

$this->form->createElement("date","interview_start_date", null,
$this->dateOptions); I get the word 'array' in the drop-down...
I have looked at the date class in /usr/share/php/HTML/QuickForm and have
noticed this line of code:

if (is_array($this->_options['emptyOptionText']) &&
!empty($this->_options['emptyOptionText'][$sign])) {
$options =
array($this->_options['emptyOptionValue'] =>
$this->_options['emptyOptionText'][$sign]) + $options;

which means that _options['emptyOptionText'] can be an array. So I am
wondering if this class allows this functionality , if not what is the best
way to make this happen, without having to write another class that does
this....

I would highly appreciate if you could give me some feedback to how I could
make this work using the given Quickform php date class..

thank you so much for your time in advance!

regards,
