Something that would be cool too is supporting HTML5, seeing as it is getting bigger and bigger. The way I work around it at the moment is changing the serialize function of a text-field for example, to:

protected function serialize($value, array $attributes=array())
{
$attributes['type'] = (!isset($attributes['type'])) ? 'text' : $attributes['type'];
return parent::serialize($value, $attributes);
}

Note the place where ‘type’ is set. This used to be:

$attributes['type'] = 'text';


This meant that whatever type you gave in the definition of the field, it would still use ‘text’. Now you can override it if needed.

The update of the library that I have in mind would be to alter it to check if HTML5 is supported and use the HTML5 attributes. ‘required’ would be a great one to support too.

Thanks again!

By the way excellent work!!!

It is still a work in progress but I hope I could be able to release a first beta version soon !

Die Lib wirkte auf den ersten Blick sehr interessant, meine Euphorie wurde jedoch schnell von der etwas seltsamen abstrakten Basis-Klasse getrübt. Der Entwickler hat wohl vorgesehen das jedes Formular durch eine Abgeleitete Klasse dargestellt wird die …

public function get_widget()
{
return new OptionGroupWidget($this->options);
}

must be:

return new OptionGroupWidget($this->choices);

There is no “RadioGroupWidget” i implemented that:
class RadioGroupWidget extends PhormWidget
{
/**
* The options for this field as an array of actual=>display values.
**/
private $options;

/**
* @author Jeff Ober
* @param array $options the options as an array of actual=>display values
* @return null
**/
public function __construct(array $options)
{
$this->options = $options;
}

/**
* @author Jeff Ober
* @param array $value an array of the field’s values
* @param array $attributes key=>value pairs corresponding to HTML attributes’ name=>value
**/
public function html($value, array $attributes=array())
{
if (is_null($value)) $value = array();

foreach ($attributes as $key => $val)
$attributes[htmlentities( (string)$key )] = htmlentities( (string)$val );

return $this->serialize($value, $attributes);
}

/**
* Returns the field as serialized HTML.
* @author Jeff Ober
* @param mixed $value the form widget’s value attribute
* @param array $attributes key=>value pairs corresponding to HTML attributes’ name=>value
* @return string the serialized HTML
**/
protected function serialize($value, array $attributes=array())
{
$html = “”;
foreach ($this->options as $actual => $display)
{
$option = new RadioWidget( in_array($actual, $value) );
$html .= sprintf(‘%s %s’, htmlentities($display), $option->html($actual, $attributes));
}

return $html;
}
}

You can copy the OptionGroupWidget source (widgets.php) and change the line in the `serialize` method:

$option = new CheckboxWidget …

to:

$option = new RadioWidget…

And save it as a RadioOptionGroupWidget or similar.
