CakePHP view helper to construct HTML easily

CakePHP Markup Helper

MarkupHelper allows you to build complex (X)HTML by fluent interface., _(*1)

echo $this->Markup->div('class1')
    ->p->text('Hello world')->end
    ->end;

Requirements

• PHP 5.2.8 or later
• CakePHP 2.0

Installation

cd app/Plugin/
git clone git://github.com/tkyk/cakephp-markup-helper Markup

I recommend you to checkout a versioning tag rather than a development branch., _(*2)

cd app/Plugin/Markup
git checkout x.y.z.w

Usage

Load Markup.Markup in your controllers., _(*3)

class AppController extends Controller {
    public $helpers = array('Markup.Markup');
}

And then, you can write (X)HTML with method chaining., _(*4)

echo $this->Markup->div('class1')
    ->p->text('Hello world')->end
    ->end;

Other helpers methods are also available in method chains., _(*5)

//The prefix f_ is FormHelper, h_ is HtmlHelper,
//and <HelperName>_ is <HelperName>Helper.
echo $this->Markup
    ->f_create('Post')
    ->f_input('username')
    ->f_input('password')
    ->h_link('Forget password?', array('action' => 'forget'))
    ->f_end('Login')
    ->div('news')
    ->Paginator_numbers()
    ->enddiv;
