Adding an Alphanumeric Field to Forms

Overview

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

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

This example shows how to add an alphanumeric field.

// Adding a required alphanumeric field
$objConfig->alphanumeric('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 alphanumeric  fields are correctly initialized and integrated into your form. This example shows how to configure the add and edit fields.

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