Populate form example.

Populate form exampleThe HtmlForm->populate method provides a comfortable way to fill in default values before displaying the form. It's more convenient than setting the 'defaultValue' parameter for each input element individually.

<?php
/*
* Load the library...
*/
require_once '../../HtmlForm.php';
/*
* Create the example form 'populateForm'
*/
$form = new Depage\HtmlForm\HtmlForm('populateForm');
/*
* Create input elements
*/
$form->addText('username', ['label' => 'User name']);
$form->addEmail('email', ['label' => 'Email address']);
/*
* The populate method selects input elements by name. Hence, elements in
* fieldsets/steps are accessed exactly like elements directly attached to the
* form.
*/
$fieldset = $form->addFieldset('fieldset', ['label' => 'User name']);
$fieldset->addText('fieldsetText', ['label' => 'Text in fieldset']);
/*
* Parsing an associative array to the populate method
* ('element name' => value).
*/
$form->populate(
[
'username' => 'depage',
'email' => 'mail@somedomain.org',
'fieldsetText' => 'It works!',
],
);
$form->process();
if ($form->validate()) {
/*
* Success, do something useful with the data and clear the session.
*/
echo('<a href="">back</a>');
echo('<pre>');
var_dump($form->getValues());
echo('</pre>');
$form->clearSession();
} else {
/*
* Display the form.
*/
