to populate date to dojo in Zend

you need to convert date to ISO :

$q = Doctrine_Query::create()
                        ->from('Model_Emp e')
                        ->where('cid = ?', $input->id);

$result = $q->fetchArray();
  
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->set($result[0]['job_date'], Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
$result[0]['job_date'] = $date->getIso();

$this->view->form->getSubForm('empform')->populate($result[0]);
