DB_DataObject_FormBuilder

pear.php.net 0.15.0 beta PHP License justinpatrin Class to automatically build HTML_QuickForm objects from a DB_DataObject-derived class DB_DataObject_FormBuilder will aid you in rapid application development using the packages DB_DataObject and HTML_QuickForm. For having a quick but working prototype of your application, simply model the database, run DataObject's createTable script over it and write a script that passes one of the resulting objects to the FormBuilder class. The FormBuilder will automatically generate a simple but working HTML_QuickForm object that you can use to test your application. It also provides a processing method that will automatically detect if an insert() or update() command has to be executed after the form has been submitted. If you have set up DataObject's links.ini file correctly, it will also automatically detect if a table field is a foreign key and will populate a selectbox with the linked table's entries. There are many optional parameters that you can place in your DataObjects.ini or in the properties of your derived classes, that you can use to fine-tune the form-generation, gradually turning the prototypes into fully-featured forms, and you can take control at any stage of the process. 2005-05-17 12:36:54 Changes -BC Break, removed enum option reindexing altogether --enum option arrays *must* be indexed with the value you want to go into the DB. For normal enums, make the key and the value equal --array('option1' => 'option1', 'option2' => 'option2') --This *only* affects those who don't use the built-in callback to get the options from the DB automatically Fixes -Fixed typo which caused update errors to throw a fatal PHP error (bug #4364) New Features -Added linkNewValueText option to allow customizing of the linkNewValue option text 51030 http://pear.php.net/get/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder-0.15.0
