RE: [PEAR] FormBuilder and ajax integration?

Well I was able to use the setDefaults to get the form to populate, and I was getting it from $_POST so I am not sure where the problem is... I think I will just write a basic checker that looks at the _rules array in the fb object (think that's right) and grab any that have the 'required' type. That at least will cover 95% of my rules. When I get any completed code I'll try and post it on here. So far its looking pretty darn slick... Thanks for all the help! -----Original Message----- From: Justin Patrin [mailto:papercrane@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 6:10 PM To: Wright Zane A A1C 30 IS/DOMM Cc: pear-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PEAR] FormBuilder and ajax integration?
