<?php
$info = 'Here we are, a single fieldset which includes the
submit button too. It\'s really easy, just set the "submit"
parameter to 1 for the fieldset element!';
$config = Array(
'fieldset' => Array(
'type' => 'fieldset',
'legend' => 'This is a fieldset legend',
'submit' => 1,
),
'inputText' => Array(
'type' => 'inputText',
'displayname' => 'A plain text field',
),
'inputPassword' => Array(
'type' => 'inputPassword',
'displayname' => 'A password field',
),
'textarea' => Array(
'type' => 'textarea',
'html' => 'cols="20" rows="3"',
'displayname' => 'A textarea',
),
'inputHidden' => Array(
'type' => 'inputHidden',
'value' => "something you don't want the users to see",
),
);
?>
Usage example
To create a form using this array you'll only need
a few lines of code:
<?php
// create the form object
$clonefish = new clonefish( 'loginform', 'test.php', 'POST' );
// setup codepage so your data will be handled
// perfectly by the appropriate string functions
$clonefish->codepage = 'utf-8';
$clonefish->multibytesupport = 'multibyteutf8';
// add the form elements (fields) pre-filled with
// values from $_POST
$clonefish->addElements( $config, $_POST, get_magic_quotes_gpc() );
// validate the form if the form has been submitted
if ( count( $_POST ) && $clonefish->validate() ) {
// form is valid, go and store values in database, etc.
// $clonefish->getElementValues() provides a
// normalized value array.
}
else
// if the form wasn't submitted yet or the validation
// had failed, show the form (automatically
// including error messages)
echo
"<html><body>" .
$clonefish->getHTML() .
"</body></html>";
?>
