session-timeout.php
Form expiry example.
Form expiry exampleOne can lower the lifetime of the forms session by setting the 'ttl' value. Setting this higher than the PHP session length (default around 30min) has no effect.
<?php
/*
* Load the library...
*/
require_once '../../HtmlForm.php';
/*
* Create the example form 'timeoutForm', set the session expiry to 3 seconds.
* (this is mainly to demonstrate the feature, 3 seconds will probably irritate
* users)
*/
/*
* Add input elements
*/
$form->addText('username', array('label' => 'User name'));
$form->addEmail('email', array('label' => 'Email address'));
/*
* The process method is essential to the functionality of the form. It serves
* various purposes:
* - it validates submitted data if there is any
* - it redirects to the success page if all the data is valid
* - it stores the data in the session and redirects to the form to circumvent
* the form resubmission problem
*/
$form->process();
/*
* Finally, if the form is valid, dump the data (for demonstration). If it's
* not valid (or if it hasn't been submitted yet) display the form.
*/
if ($form->validate()) {
/*
* Success, do something useful with the data and clear the session.
* The getValues method returns an array of the form element values.
*/
echo('<a href="">back</a>');
echo('<pre>');
var_dump($form->getValues());
echo('</pre>');
$form->clearSession();
} else {
/*
* Display the form.
