formtools

formtools is a basic library for handle forms.

Basic knowledge:

• Work on PHP > 5.3
• Create form using a class : reusable system (and multiple configuration in one class @see examples/Form/User.php)
• Simple form generation using html tag (table, tr, td) (@see examples/all.php for defaults "decorators")
• Generating form using simple "template" file
• Three types of elements :
  • Push (Button, Image, Reset, Submit)
    • Not required for validation
  • Input (Checkbox, File, Hidden, Password, Text)
    • Simple creation if you need special attribute frequently
  • Options (Radio, Select and one day MultiCheckbox for name="checkbox[keyOne]" like)
  • And Textarea (4 types ? nooo !)
• Simple filter and validator
  • Take a look in the source, I use some PHP function : you may need to know their behavior
  • Can use Closure
  • Need perfect filter and validator ? Create your own.
• Inspired by Zend_Form system, but formtools focus only on form (Filter and Validate on ZF are reusable elsewhere)
  • "Decorators system in ZF will be better in ZF2", if this real : formtools will be useless
  • I create this library only for the "render system"

TODO:

• Add a MultipleCheckbox Element (for handle multiple checkbox with the same name checkbox[keyOne] checkbox[keyTwo]
• Modify Filter and Validator (More powerful, and configurable)

#### Think this library could be more powerful ? Daft Punk advice : Fork it, code it, push it.
