FORM HELPERS

FORM HELPERS FOR OBJECTS

Standard Helper

<?php echo use_helper('Object’) ?>

FORM TAG

Add the

object_

prefix in front of the name

form_tag($url, $options)

of the form helpers to get the name of the

related object form helper:

<?php echo form_tag('test/save', Array('method' => 'get', 'id' => 'myForm', 'class' => 'simpleForm'))?>

object_input_tag($parameters)

// options argument with the associative array syntax

object_textarea_tag($parameters)

<?php echo form_tag('test/save', ‘method=get id=myForm class=simpleForm')?>

object_checkbox_tag($parameters)

// options argument with the string syntax

object_input_date_tag($parameters)

objects_for_select($parameters)

STANDARD FORM ELEMENTS

object_select_tag($parameters)

label_for($id, $label, $options)

object_select_country_tag($parameters)

Returns a <label> tag with for the specified parameter.

object_select_language_tag($parameters)

object_input_hidden_tag ($parameters)

input_tag ($name, $value=null, $options)

The

$parameters

(for all object helpers) are:

<?php echo input_tag('name', 'default value') ?>

($object, $method,

$options

, $default_value)

// will generate in HTML: <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="default value" />

input_hidden_tag($name, $value, $options)

E.g.1: the text input tag looks like:

<?php echo object_input_tag($customer,

<?php echo input_hidden_tag('name', 'value') ?>

'getTelephone') ?>

input_password_tag ($name= 'password', $value=null, $options)

// will generate in HTML

<?php echo input_password_tag('name', 'value') ?>

<input type="text" name="getTelephone"

id="getTelephone" value="0123456789" />

rich

textarea_tag ($name, $content=null, $options)

...provided that

<?php echo textarea_tag('name', 'default content', 'size=10x20') ?>

$customer->getTelephone()= '0123456789'

// will generate in HTML:

<textarea name="name" id="name" rows="20" cols="10">default content</textarea>

E.g.2: picture a form built to edit the data

of an article. There is an easy way to get the

checkbox_tag ($name, $value, $checked=false, $options)

list of the author with the “related_class”:

<?php echo checkbox_tag('married', '1', true) ?>

object_select_tag($article, 'getAuthorId',

<?php echo checkbox_tag('driverslicence', 'B', false) ?>

'related_class=Author')

// will generate in HTML:

Symfony will use the

->toString()

method of

the Author class to display the names of the

authors in a list. If the method is undefined,

radiobutton_tag ($name, $value, $checked=false, $options)

the primary key (in the example, the id

<?php echo radiobutton_tag('status', 'value1', true) ?>

column) of the Author table is used instead.

<?php echo radiobutton_tag('status', 'value2', false) ?>

// will generate in HTML:

Other list options:

include_blank

to add a first empty line to the list

object_select_tag($article, 'getAuthorId',

select_tag ($name, $option_tags=null, $options)

‘related_class=Author include_blank')

options_for_select ($options=array(), $selected= '', $html_options)

include_title

<?php echo select_tag('name', options_for_select(Array('0' => 'Steve', '1' => 'Bob', '2' => 'Albert',

to add a title in the first line of the list

'3' => 'Ian'), 3)) ?>

object_select_tag($article, 'getAuthorId',

input_file_tag ($name, $options)

‘related_class=Author include_title')

<?php echo input_file_tag('name') ?>

include_custom

submit_tag($value, $options)

// submit button (as text)

includes an <option> tag with a custom display

text in the first line of the list

<?php echo submit_tag('Save') ?>

object_select_tag($article, 'getAuthorId',

submit_image_tag($source, $options)

// submit button (as image)

‘related_class=Author include_custom=select')

<?php echo submit_image_tag('submit_img') ?>

// will generate in HTML: <input type="image" name="submit" src="/images/submit_img.png" />

input_upload_tag ($name, $options)

RICH FORM ELEMENTS

rich

input_date_tag ($name, $value, $options)

reset_tag ($value= 'Reset', $options)

<?php echo input_date_tag('dateofbirth',

‘2005-05-03', 'rich=true') ?>

rich

select_country_tag ($name, $value, $options)

// will generate in HTML:

select_language_tag ($name, $value, $options)

// a text input tag together with a calendar widget

Returns a <select> tag populated with all the languages in the world (or almost).

<?php echo textarea_tag('name', 'default

select_day_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

content', 'rich=true size=10x20')) ?>

select_month_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

// will generate in HTML:

// a rich text edition zone powered by TinyMCE

select_year_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_option)

select_date_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

<?php echo select_country_tag('country',

‘Albania') ?>

select_second_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

// will generate in HTML:

select_minute_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

select_hour_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

<option>Afghanistan</option>

<option selected="selected">Albania</option>

select_ampm_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)

<option>Algeria</option>

select_time_tag ($name, $value, $options, $html_options)
