Re: Form app_helper output
Mark,
thanks for the reply. I am inclined to agree with you. I was just
experimenting with the CakePHP helpers to see what was available. I
was just very surprised at how that failed.
Thanks
Steve

there might still be some cases where you have to chain the strings
and return them to somewhere else
this way you put a spoke in your wheel
so better returning everything and echoing it extactly where you want
to have it.
there is no overhead to this at all - quite the opposite actually

Hi,
I did not want to type echo statements into my views so I took the
suggestion of the CakePHP docs and added the following function to my
app_helper:
public function output($string)
{
echo parent::output($string.\n);
}
And I use it like this:
?php
$form-create($options = array('action' = 'login'));
$form-input('User.username');
$form-input('User.password');
$form-button(__('Login', true), array('type'='submit',
'class'='ui-state-default'));
$form-end();
?
The output looks like this:
form id=LoginForm method=post action=/users/login
label for=UserUsernameUsername/label
input name=data[User][username] type=text value=
id=UserUsername /
div class=input text/div
label for=UserPasswordPassword/label
input type=password name=data[User][password] value=
id=UserPassword /
div class=input password/div
input type=submit value=Login class=ui-state-default /
/form
Why are the inputs not inside the divs where they belong? If I remove
the function and replace the echos for each of the form elements it
works. Seems wrong that I can write a function so that I dont have to
type an echo when using the helpers but then I have to manually add
the containing div.
One other related question. How do I accomplish using the Html helper
method tableCells and placing form elements in the cells? I put the
form element method as an element of the array that is passed to the
tableCells method I get no output.
Any help would be appreciated.
