QuickForm2 and smarty

I picked this up again after a break ... I refer you to: http://www.phcomp.co.uk/TechTutorial/QfSmarty/index.php this has the full source code that you can view. Unfortunately it does not show it running since the machine is running PHP 5.1 -- I will upgrade this at some stage. Note that I provide a patched version of the array renderer Array.php. I also have Qf2ValidTypes.php -- this demonstrates one of every type of input field that QF2 handles. There is also a smarty version of this. Feedback on this is requested: * what have I got wrong * what have I missed I would like to make these a useful resource for anyone using QF2. Something showing all the possibilities of input validation would also be useful. Issues that I have (some have been notified before), consider these bugs or requests for enhancements: 1) 'group' and 'fieldset' do not have a 'type' member of their array/object. This could be really useful for something that is inspecting the array. 2) 'fieldset' has a 'name' member of their array that is the empty string. I have tried various ways of setting it without success. This would be really nice for looking through the array to find something. 3) checkboxes, this should be returned as an array with however many elements set to what the user has selected. I could only do this by creating elements with names like 'vegetable[1]' -- it should be much easier. 4) checkboxes and radio buttons, it should be possible to set up a whole set of them at one go as can be done with a 'select'. Currently you need to have a loop -- it should be much easier. Note that there is a bit of on the fly munging that is done on radio buttons. Here you have separate fields all with the same name. The smarty renderer makes the top level one an array with the separate fields as members keyed by the 'id'. This makes it possible for a smarty template to handle. It might be nice to do the same for checkboxes if (3) above is done in the right way.
