Re: PHP Web Controls

Hello,

Hey all,

ASP.NET has a concept of a user defined web control, where a person
can implement their own web control and override the render method to
write out html for that control.

I was wondering, in general, do people ever follow a similar pattern
when writing PHP4+ code? By which i mean, i could write a WebControl
base class and a TextBoxControl that inherits from that, then in my
html markup instead of writing out the input tag by hand i could call
textBox->render().

Up to this point i have simply hard coded all the html myself and then
inserted echos into the appropriate places. However, im wondering if
this might be a better approach then having such "messy" html.

Any thoughts? Opinions?

You may want to try this forms generation class. You can develop
plug-ins to implement new behaviors, new validations, new layouts, etc..

http://www.phpclasses.org/formsgeneration


Here you may find several example scripts in action so you can see the
basic form features and several plug-ins:

Here is a tutorial video explain all the features and some of the
available plug-ins:
