Passing a variable to a Symfony form

Question

I am building a web application using Symfony 1.4 and Doctrine for school and I want to make a very simple form to add a course to the student.

The main problem I am facing is that in the drop-down list I want to show only those courses in which the student is not currently registered.

I already have a function in the model (in Student.class.php) that returns all courses in which the student is not registered, but the problem is that I don’t know how to pass the student to configure () forms. I tried several options, for example, passing it with the form constructor to a global variable or a special sets method, but none of them worked.

Is there any form for passing the configure () method to the student?

Thanks!

This should work for you ...

In your action: $this->form = new StudentCourseForm(array(), array('student_id' => $student_id)); In the form class: $this->getOption('student_id');
