This renderer does not output anything itself, it returns the form structure as an array. This array can later be used for generating the output. A usage example is available for this renderer and Smarty template engine, look in docs/renderers directory.
The form array structure is the following:
array(
'frozen' => 'whether the form is frozen',
'javascript' => 'javascript for client-side validation',
'attributes' => 'attributes for <form> tag',
'requirednote => 'note about the required elements',
// if we set the option to collect hidden elements
'hidden' => 'collected html of all hidden elements',
// if there were some validation errors:
'errors' => array(
'1st element name' => 'Error for the 1st element',
...
'nth element name' => 'Error for the nth element'
),
// if there are no headers in the form:
'elements' => array(
element_1,
...
element_N
)
// if there are headers in the form:
'sections' => array(
array(
'header' => 'Header text for the first header',
'name' => 'Name of the first header',
'elements' => array(
element_1,
...
element_K1
)
),
...
array(
'header' => 'Header text for the Mth header',
'elements' => array(
element_1,
...
element_KM
)
)
)
); |
array(
'name' => 'element name',
'value' => 'element value',
'type' => 'type of the element',
'frozen' => 'whether element is frozen',
'label' => 'label for the element',
'required' => 'whether element is required',
'error' => 'error associated with the element',
'style' => 'some information about element style (e.g. for Smarty)',
// if element is not a group
'html' => 'HTML for the element'
// if element is a group
'separator' => 'separator for group elements',
'elements' => array(
element_1,
...
element_N
)
); |
Tip: HTML_QuickForm::toArray() method uses the Array renderer internally.
