FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Installation and usage
The controls require PHP 8.0 or higher. To get started, simply clone this folder and run composer install in your local environment,
or use Composer to download and install
the library. Then execute index.php in your local server/browser and take a look at the provided samples.
Adding the library to your own project
You can add the library to your own project with composer, by adding the following entries to your composer.json file:
"require": {
"php": ">=8.0",
"ferndev/phpprogrammingcontrols": "*"
},
If composer gives you an error or warning about stability, add the following as well:
"minimum-stability": "dev".
If you are not using composer then you will need to add the source folder: "src" to your own project,
and "use" the controls you need (look at the code of the provided examples).
You can then start creating instances of the controls.

HtmlTabs quick guide
HtmlTabs renders a tab strip and associated panes using framework-agnostic APIs. Choose your frontend mode and the control will emit appropriate classes and behavior.
Key API:
- addTab(string $title, string $contentLink, bool $isActive = false): adds a tab targeting a pane id like
#pane1. - setTabContent(string $paneId, HtmlBase $content): registers the content for the given pane id (without
#). - setFramework('bootstrap' | 'tailwind' | 'react' | 'vanilla'): selects sensible defaults for each mode.
- setClasses(array $overrides): override any defaults (ulClass, liClass, linkClass, linkActiveClass, contentContainerClass, paneClass, paneActiveClass, paneHiddenClass).
- enableClientToggle(bool): enable/disable the built-in tiny toggler (used in tailwind/vanilla; not used in bootstrap/react modes).
Bootstrap example:
Tailwind example (no Bootstrap JS):
React example (server renders HtmlTabs, React binder wires toggling):
Vanilla example (no frameworks, your classes):
See examples:
- Bootstrap:
examples/TabsExample.php - Tailwind:
examples/TabsExampleTailwind.php - React:
examples/TabsExampleReact.php+examples/js/react-tabs-binder.jsx
Examples and assets
- All examples now use CDN-hosted assets (Bootstrap 5, Tailwind CSS, React 18, Babel) with integrity and crossorigin where applicable.
- Legacy local assets under
examples/cssandexamples/fontshave been removed. Examples no longer depend on local Bootstrap 3 or Glyphicons. - Entry point
index.phpredirects toexamples/landing.php, which links to all demos (Bootstrap/Tailwind/React variants). - React examples load JSX from
examples/js/*.jsxand rely on in-browser Babel transform for convenience.
Try the demos locally
- Serve the project with your PHP web server (Apache, Nginx, or PHP’s built-in server) and open:
examples/landing.phpfor the main showcase- Or directly:
examples/SampleWebControls.php,examples/SampleWebControlsTailwind.php,examples/SampleWebControlsReact.php, etc.
Run tests
- Requires Composer dependencies installed.
- From the project root, run:
All tests should pass (40 tests, 152 assertions).
