Form elements ------------- [](#form-elements) The class `CForm` uses `CFormElements`. The following form elements are supported: ``` class CFormElementText extends CFormElement { class CFormElementTextarea extends CFormElement { class CFormElementHidden extends CFormElement { class CFormElementPassword extends CFormElement { class CFormElementCheckbox extends CFormElement { class CFormElementCheckboxMultiple extends CFormElement { class CFormElementSubmit extends CFormElement { ``` Validation rules ---------------- [](#validation-rules) The following validation rules are supported: ``` 'fail' => array('message' => 'Will always fail.', 'test' => 'return false;'), 'pass' => array('message' => 'Will always pass.', 'test' => 'return true;'), 'not_empty' => array('message' => 'Can not be empty.', 'test' => 'return $value != "";'), 'numeric' => array('message' => 'Must be numeric.', 'test' => 'return is_numeric($value);'), 'mail_address' => array('message' => 'Must be an emailaddress.', 'test' => function($value) { return preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $value) === 1; } ), 'match' => array('message' => 'The field does not match.', 'test' => 'return $value == $form[$arg]["value"] ;'), 'must_accept' => array('message' => 'You must accept this.', 'test' => 'return isset($value);'), ``` The validation rule for 'match' is useful when changing password and one field should match another field in the form. The validation rule for 'must\_accept' is useful when the user must accept a license agreement by clicking a checkbox. Todo ---- [](#todo) - Layout form elements in grid. - Style form using LESS and CSS. - Support all form elements. - Make page displaying how all form elements look like in different styles. - Support more validation rules. - Make example on how you use the validation rules. - Integrate/support with client side validation through js/ajax. - Support saving partial data of form through js/ajax. - Check that the form is valid by storing key in session and hidden field and match those.
