Adding a Year Field to Forms

Form Fields

Overview

In this tutorial, we'll cover how to add a year field to your forms using a method from your configuration object, $objConfig->year('field_name', 'field_label', $required = 0);. This method allows you to integrate year inputs seamlessly into your forms.

 

This method adds a year input field to your form, taking three parameters:

 

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

 

Here's a sample code to include a year field to your form;

 

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

 

Adjust the parameters (field_name,  field_label, and  $required) as per your specific requirements.

 

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 fields are correctly initialized and integrated into your form. This example shows how to configure the add and edit fields.

 

PHP 
// Adding your 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 year fields into your PHP forms using $objConfig->year('field_name', 'field_label', $required = 0);. This method provides flexibility in configuring year inputs according to your application's needs.
