FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

Informations about the package form-former

HTML/HTML5 Form Creation & Validation Tool in PHP (7.1+)

FormFormer forms HTML/HTML5 forms, and, optionally, validates their submitted field values using Valitron Validator. In case of validation error(s), forms are redisplayed with populated field values and error messages. FormFormer is decoupled from processing form submission after validation.

Please see examples/valitron.php for a minimal form with validation.

The goal was simple yet flexible code. Using immutable objects for all classes, except FieldBuilder (which optionally makes field instantiation less verbose), helps maintain simplicity. Flexibility is provided by incorporating general $attributes array properties into Form and Field classes, requiring the client programmer to have knowledge of HTML attributes and also potentially outputting invalid HTML, as most attributes are not validated.

There are certainly complexities which FF does not handle, especially related to formatting. It can be extended and/or adapted over time to handle some, and simply not used for others.

INSTALLATION
composer require it-all/form-former

USAGE
Please see examples.

SECURITY
In order to prevent XSS, the htmlentities function is used when outputting html element attribute values (which may contain user input if client code validates input and repopulates for failures) and html element content values (for example <textarea>escaped content</textarea>).
