Class Overview

Base form control for text input.

This control supports both single line and multiline input and renderers a HTML input or textarea widget.

Do not instantiate this class, use one of its descendants instead.

Public Methods

__construct($name)

Create a new base text control.

This constructor must be called from subclass constructors, e.g. AnewtFormControlText, AnewtFormControlTextMultiline, and AnewtFormControlPassword.

Parameters

$name

The name of this control.

build_widget()

Render the minimal HTML needed for this control to work.

Form control implementations should implement this method, e.g. for a checkbox a simple input HTML element should be returned.

Return value

XHTML element with the minimal HTML markup needed for this control to function properly.

Validation methods

is_valid()

Check whether this form control is valid.

The default is to apply all validators added to this control. Subclasses could also override this method to do something more sensible than applying validators, since some controls don't accept validators, e.g. checkboxes.

Return value

True if valid, false otherwise.
