Overview

This package is used to simplify the generation of HTML form inputs and the form tag itself. It can also create generic form elements by reverse engineering a database table. It’s meant to be very simple without extra features you might find in other packages. For example, you wont find validation here, or saving state. Just dead-simple form elements.

The package is fully tested, but if you find any missing coverage, just let me know.

Also of note, I don’t make any attempt to use a dependency injection container for loading the elements. In other words, you can’t inject your own Text object into the form. This may be added in the future.

Basic Usage

<?php
// The `post` method is the default.
$form = new \Vespula\Form\Form('post');

// Set the id and class attributes
$form->id('my-form')->class('myClass');

// Display the opening tag for the form
echo $form->begin();

// Alternatively, you can output the opening tag in one line.
// However, the begin() method must come last!
echo $form->id('my-form')->class('myClass')->begin();

echo $form->text()->id('my-input')->value('Joe User');

// specify the id and name attributes in one
echo $form->text()->idName('my-input')->value('Joe User');

// Close the form
echo $form->end();
