    copied!<p>To be honest I wouldn't roll my own, considering there are a few mature form packages out there for PHP.</p> <p>I use PEAR's HTML_QuickForm package (<a href="http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.php" rel="noreferrer">http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.html-quickform.php</a>) for PHP4 sites.</p> <p>For PHP5, I'd have a look into Zend_Form (<a href="http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.html" rel="noreferrer">http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.form.html</a>).</p> <p>For my quickform code, I use a helper class that lets me define forms using a config array. For example:</p> <pre><code>echo QuickFormHelper::renderFromConfig(array( 'name' =&gt; 'area_edit', 'elements' =&gt; array( 'area_id' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'hidden'), 'active' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'toggle'), 'site_name' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'text'), 'base_url' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'text'), 'email' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'text'), 'email_admin' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'text'), 'email_financial' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'text'), 'cron_enabled' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'toggle'), 'address' =&gt; array('type' =&gt; 'address'), ), 'groups' =&gt; array( 'Basic Details' =&gt; array('site_name', 'base_url'), 'Address Details' =&gt; array('address'), 'Misc Details' =&gt; array(), // SM: Display the rest with this heading. ), 'defaults' =&gt; $site, 'callback_on_success' =&gt; array( 'object' =&gt; $module, 'function' =&gt; 'saveSite', ), )); </code></pre> <p>Note that the above element types 'address' and 'toggle' are in fact multiple form fields (basically, meta-types). This is what I love about this helper class - I can define a standard group of fields with their rules (such as address, credit_card, etc) and they can be used on lots of pages in a consistent fashion.</p>
