Adding a URL Field to Forms

Overview

In this tutorial, we'll cover how to add a URL field to your forms. This method allows you to integrate URL inputs seamlessly into your application forms. This method takes three parameters:

• field_name: The name attribute for the URL input.
• field_label: The label that will be displayed alongside the URL input.
• $required: An optional parameter (default is 0) that specifies whether the URL input is required (1) or not (0).

This example shows how to add a URL field.

 // Adding a required URL field
$objConfig->url('field_name', 'field_label', $required = 1);

Configuration in Your Application

For the configuration to work properly, it's important to include the 'field_name'  amongst the `addFields` and `editFields`. This ensures that the URL fields are correctly initialized and integrated into your form. This example shows how to configure the add and edit fields.

// Adding your URL field to the add and edit forms
$objConfig->addFields(array('field_name'));
$objConfig->editFields(array('field_name'));

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily integrate URL fields into your PHP forms using $objConfig->url('field_name', 'field_label', $required = 0);. This method provides flexibility in configuring URL inputs according to your application's needs.
