Use Zend_Form as a factory for creating elements:
$username = $form->createElement('text', 'username');
// or, if you want it attached to the form immediately:
$form->addElement('text', 'username');
$username = $form->username;
This is actually the preferred way to create elements, as it allows you
to set plugin paths for your elements in your form object *once*, and
those will then be used for all elements created via your form object.
Finally, you might want to use autoloading if you don't want to use
Zend_Loader::loadClass() or require_once throughout your code. Add this
to the top of your bootstrap or script:
require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();

i would write in the index.php file top of the code require_once
'Zend/Loader.php'; Zend_Loader::registerAutoload(); Then you dont need to
load each class seperatly

[fw-general] Best way to load Zend_Form_Element_* classes
Hi All,
I'm just using components of the Zend Framework in my application, and one
of those is Zend_Form which in my header file I'm loading like:
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Form');
But when I go to instantiate a text element like:
$usrename = new Zend_Form_Element_Text( 'username');
I got the Class 'Zend_Form_Element_Text' not found error. So I tried loading
the Zend_Form_Element_Text class like so:
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Form_Element_Text');
My question is do I really need to load each element, I'm figuring there
must be a cleaner way to do load each form element class.
Thanks, Mark
