form

From SkyPHP

A form file consists of an HTML form and PHP code to populate the HTML form with data from the database. Each AQL model has a form.

Follow These Rules

• Form "name" attribute is the name of the model.
• Form field names must match an alias in the model's aql file. ($field)
• Don't put the save button in the form file. This way you can use the form on a profile page OR in a skybox.
• aql::form() will auto-link the form's css or js file if either exists (see profile page)

Example

/models/person/person_form.php

<?

$model = 'person';
$r = aql::profile($model,IDE);

?>

<form name="<?=$model?>" class="standard_form">

	<? 
	$field = 'fname'; 
	?>
	<div id="<?=$field?>" class="field">
		<label class="label" for="<?=$field?>">First Name</label>
		<input type="text" name="<?=$field?>" value="<?=$r[$field]?>" />
	</div>

	<? 
	$field = 'lname'; 
	?>
	<div id="<?=$field?>" class="field">
		<label class="label" for="<?=$field?>">Last Name</label>
		<input type="text" name="<?=$field?>" value="<?=$r[$field]?>" />
	</div>

	<? 
	$field = 'bio'; 
	?>
	<div class="field">
		<textarea id="<?=$field?>" name="<?=$field?>"><?=$r[$field]?></textarea>
	</div>
	
</form>

/models/person/person_form.css

#bio {
    width: 500px;
}
