Am_Form

aMember Pro utilizes HTML_QuickForm2 library to handle forms displaying and validation. Please check usage example of HTML_QF2 to get an understanding of how it works:

aMember Pro defines a class Am_Form derived from HTML_QuickForm2 and adds the following:

function isSubmitted() // @return bool
function setAction($action) // to set "action" form attribute
function removeElementByName($name) // to remove element from form by its name
adds jquery.validate support for basic HTML_QF2 rules

New elements and rules

'callback2' validation rule: it runs a callback and validation fails if function returned string value, validation succeed if null returned
'advradio' element - configured like the 'select', but displayed as group of radiobuttons
'upload' element - handles uploads with history and ability to select from already uploaded files for this tag
'date' element - to provide JQuery UI datepicker support
'htmleditor' element - to provide CKeditor suppor
'magicselect' element - to provide new original UI element for multi-select boxes

Sample Usage

Put this code into file named MyPageController.php and copy to am/application/default/controllers/ , then try access http://example.com/am/my-page

    <?php
    class MyPageController extends Am_Mvc_Controller
    {
        function indexAction()
        {
            $form = new Am_Form;
            $t1 = $form->addText('t1', array('size'=>40))->setLabel('Text 1');
            $t1->addRule('required', 'This field is required');
            $s = $form->addMagicSelect('s1');
            $s->loadOptions(array('o1' => 'Option 1', 'o2' => 'Option 2'));

            if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->validate())
            {
                // form ok - do some actions here!
                $this->view->content = print_r($form->getValue(), true);
            } else {
                // not submitted or validation fails
                $this->view->content = (string)$form;
            }
            $this->view->title = "My Page";
            $this->view->display('layout.phtml');
