FormHelper::text() just generates the markup for a single input field.
FormHelper::input() can generate any type of input field (text,
password, textarea, select, radio, ...) which can be auto-detected
from the model's schema, or user-defined. It also adds a wrapper div
and error message, if wanted & applicable.
