This is fork of \[pear/HTML\_QuickForm2\] with additional changes for our needs, so it doesn't work for everyone.

HTML\_QuickForm2 provides methods to create, validate and render HTML forms. It is a PHP5 rewrite of [PEAR HTML\_QuickForm](https://pear.php.net/package/HTML_QuickForm/)and related packages.

Features:

- Supports all form elements defined in HTML4, provides several custom elements. Support for HTML5 form elements is planned.
- Server-side and client-side validation, several common rules provided. Validation rules can be combined with 'and' and 'or' for complex validation scenarios. Client-side validation can be run on changing the form field and on submitting the form.
- Client-side validation and Javascript-backed elements use a small self-contained JS library, there is no dependency on JS frameworks.
- Multipage forms (tabbed forms and wizards) are possible.
- Pluggable elements, rules, renderers and renderer plugins.

Please report issues via the [PEAR bug tracker](https://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name%5B%5D=HTML_QuickForm2) or [Github issues](https://github.com/pear/HTML_QuickForm2/issues).

Pull requests are welcome.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The package may be installed either with PEAR

```
$ pear install HTML_QuickForm2

```

or with composer

```
$ composer require pear/html_quickform2

```

Since release 2.1 composer installation relies completely on autoloading and does not contain `require_once` calls or use `include-path` option.

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
require_once 'HTML/QuickForm2.php'; // Only when installed with PEAR

$form = new HTML_QuickForm2('tutorial');

// Set defaults for the form elements
$form->addDataSource(new HTML_QuickForm2_DataSource_Array([
    'name' => 'Joe User'
]));

// Add some elements to the form
$fieldset = $form->addElement('fieldset')->setLabel('QuickForm2 tutorial example');
$name = $fieldset->addElement('text', 'name', ['size' => 50, 'maxlength' => 255])
                 ->setLabel('Enter your name:');
$fieldset->addElement('submit', null, ['value' => 'Send!']);

// Define filters and validation rules
$name->addFilter('trim');
$name->addRule('required', 'Please enter your name');

// Try to validate a form
if ($form->validate()) {
    echo 'Hello, ' . htmlspecialchars($name->getValue()) . '!';
    exit;
}

// Output the form
echo $form;
```

Additional examples are in the docs/examples directory.

Testing, Packaging and Installing (Pear)
----------------------------------------

[](#testing-packaging-and-installing-pear)

To test, run

```
$ phpunit tests/

```

after installing dependencies with composer. You can also test the installed package with

```
$ phpunit [PEAR tests dir]/HTML_QuickForm2

```

Since PEAR package needs its `require_once` statements re-enabled, please run the helper file before packaging and installing

```
$ php pear-package-helper.php

```

Then to build, simply

```
$ pear package .pear-package/package.xml

```

To install from scratch

```
$ pear install .pear-package/package.xml

```

To upgrade

```
$ pear upgrade -f .pear-package/package.xml

```
