[ANNOUNCEMENT] HTML_QuickForm-2.0 (stable) Released.

The new PEAR package HTML_QuickForm-2.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- New API for new version 2.0 ! Here is a list of what's new in this version: * Moved all the elements from HTML/QuickForm/Elements/ to HTML/QuickForm/ * Added $_elementIndex to keep track of the elements * Changed $_elementValues to $_defaultValues * Removed $_hidden and $_frozen * Added Filter support * Added templates for the _wrap functions * Changed loadDefault() to setDefaults() * Moved most of the logic to the element classes * Created an abstraction between the form class and the elements * Added getElement() and getElementValue() * Added toArray() * Cleaned up a lot of the code * Added the // {{{ markers to all files to make it for easier reading in vim * Added the error handlers and codes to make errors more descriptive * Added new method setConstants() which is like setDefaults() except that it overrides the POST or GET variables. * Added methods setElementTemplate(), setFormTemplate(), setHeaderTemplate() and setRequiredNotTemplate(). They are pretty self-explanatory. * Added method addData(). Same as before. * Added new method clearAllTemplates() which basically strips out all HTML. This is useful if you want to create a completely custom looking form using addData() * Fixed the toHtml() method so that it is a while statement so that freeze() works. * Fixed a bug in the hidden type, where it was setting the value when you created the element, thus not allowing the value to be set by POST or GET variables. * Took out the is_int test in select.php. * Made the caller a global variable in element.php, so that it can be accessed, if need be, in other element classes. * Changed it so that if an element is frozen and has no value it outputs '' instead of nothing which messes up old browsers like NS4. * Added renderElement() method which will return the html for one element. * Added removeElement() method which removes the element from the elements list. Both methods accept parameters. Package Info ------------- The PEAR::HTML_QuickForm package provides methods for creating, validating, processing HTML forms. Features: * Creates xHTML compliant form elements of various type. * Allows you to choose an unlimited number of html attributes. * Allows you to create your own custom elements using your own classes. * Process form values (you should override the process method). * Creates javascript validation code using regular expression. * Server-side validation too. * Allows you to create your own validation rules. * Manages file uploads. * Allows you to freeze some elements in your form. * Allows you to customize the look of your form in many ways. * Template-like form elements customization...
