Since | 1.1 |
Source Code | framework/web/form/CForm.php |
'elements'=>array( 'username'=>array('type'=>'text', 'maxlength'=>80), 'password'=>array('type'=>'password', 'maxlength'=>80), )The above code specifies two input elements: 'username' and 'password'. Note the model object must have exactly the same attributes 'username' and 'password'. Each element has a type which specifies what kind of input should be used. The rest of the array elements (e.g. 'maxlength') in an input specification are rendered as HTML element attributes when the input field is rendered. The buttons property is configured similarly.

init() | Initializes this form. | CForm |
the form action URL (see CHtml::normalizeUrl for details about this parameter.) Defaults to an empty string, meaning the current request URL. This property is ignored when this form is a sub-form.
the configuration used to create the active form widget. The widget will be used to render the form tag and the error messages. The 'class' option is required, which specifies the class of the widget. The rest of the options will be passed to CBaseController::beginWidget() call. Defaults to array('class'=>'CActiveForm').
the active form widget associated with this form. This method will return the active form widget as specified by activeForm.
HTML attribute values for the form tag. When the form is embedded within another form, this property will be used to render the HTML attribute values for the fieldset enclosing the child form.
the name of the class for representing a form button element. Defaults to 'CFormButtonElement'.
Returns the button elements of this form. Note that the returned result is a CFormElementCollection object, which means you can use it like an array. For more details, see CMap.
the description of this form.
Returns the input elements of this form. This includes text strings, input elements and sub-forms. Note that the returned result is a CFormElementCollection object, which means you can use it like an array. For more details, see CMap.
HTML code to append to the list of errors in the error summary. See CActiveForm::errorSummary().
HTML code to prepend to the list of errors in the error summary. See CActiveForm::errorSummary().
the name of the class for representing a form input element. Defaults to 'CFormInputElement'.
the submission method of this form. Defaults to 'post'. This property is ignored when this form is a sub-form.
Returns the model that this form is associated with.
Returns all models that are associated with this form or its sub-forms.
the owner of this form. This refers to either a controller or a widget by which the form is created and rendered.
the top-level form object
whether to show error summary. Defaults to false.
whether error elements of the form attributes should be rendered. There are three possible
valid values: null, true and false.
Defaults to null meaning that $showErrorSummary will be used as value. This is done mainly to keep
backward compatibility with existing applications. If you want to use error summary with AJAX and/or client
validation you have to set this property to true (recall that CActiveForm::error() should be called
for each attribute that is going to be AJAX and/or client validated).
False value means that the error elements of the form attributes shall not be displayed. True value means that
the error elements of the form attributes will be rendered.
the title for this form. By default, if this is set, a fieldset may be rendered around the form body using the title as its legend. Defaults to null.
Returns a unique ID that identifies this form in the current page.
