HOWTO: HTML_Quickform and XML

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A real quick tip for those trying to use HTML_Quickform in XML environments. Previously I submitted an XML renderer, but I have found a better way. This method relies on HTML_Quickform outputting valid XHTML, and if it doesn't, things *will* go badly wrong, but if this happens, HTML_QuickForm should be corrected. This is partially a quick and dirty hack, and a XML renderer (like mine previously submitted) would be preferable. (probably, I've not run any form of profiling to support this assumption). Example of how to convert an HTML_QuickForm into DOMXML. $form =& new HTML_QuickForm('moo'); $form->addElement('header', null, 'This is a test!'); $form->addElement('text', 'Name', 'Name'); $dom = domxml_open_mem($form->toHTML()); $root = $dom->document_element(); $html = $root->clone_node(true); The form can now be appended into an existing XML document: $existing_dom_document->append_child($html); and can be transformed using XSL. I hope this is of help to someone. Kind Regards, Ian P.
