to see how to use this array!
<?php
$config = Array(
'login' => Array(
'type' => 'inputText',
'displayname' => 'Login name, min. 5, max. 15 chars',
'help' => 'The login name has to be at least 5 characters long, and must not be longer than 15 characters',
validation => Array(
Array(
'type' => 'string',
'minimum' => 5,
'maximum' => 15,
),
),
),
'password' => Array(
'type' => 'inputPassword',
'displayname' => 'Password, min. 5, max. 15 chars',
'help' => 'The password has to be at least 5 characters long, and must not be longer than 15 characters',
validation => Array(
Array(
'type' => 'string',
'minimum' => 5,
'maximum' => 15,
),
),
),
'passwordverify' => Array(
'type' => 'inputPassword',
'displayname' => 'Password again',
'help' => 'The two password has to be the same',
validation => Array(
Array(
'type' => 'string',
'equals' => 'password',
),
),
),
'email' => Array(
'type' => 'inputText',
'displayname' => 'Your e-mail address',
'help' => 'A valid e-mail address is required',
validation => Array(
Array(
'type' => 'string',
// an e-mail address format verification
// regular expression
'regexp' => '/^[\._0-9a-z-]+@[0-9a-z][-0-9a-z\.]*\.[a-z]{2,4}$/'
),
),
),
);
?>
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>";
?>
