The class CForm uses CFormElements., (*4)
The following form elements are supported:, (*5)
class CFormElementText extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementTextarea extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementHidden extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementPassword extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementCheckbox extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementCheckboxMultiple extends CFormElement {
class CFormElementSubmit extends CFormElement {
Validation rules
The following validation rules are supported:, (*6)
'fail' => array('message' => 'Will always fail.', 'test' => 'return false;'),
'pass' => array('message' => 'Will always pass.', 'test' => 'return true;'),
'not_empty' => array('message' => 'Can not be empty.', 'test' => 'return $value != "";'),
'numeric' => array('message' => 'Must be numeric.', 'test' => 'return is_numeric($value);'),
'mail_address' => array('message' => 'Must be an emailaddress.', 'test' => function($value) { return preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $value) === 1; } ),
'match' => array('message' => 'The field does not match.', 'test' => 'return $value == $form[$arg]["value"] ;'),
'must_accept' => array('message' => 'You must accept this.', 'test' => 'return isset($value);'),
The validation rule for 'match' is useful when changing password and one field should match another field in the form.
The validation rule for 'must_accept' is useful when the user must accept a license agreement by clicking a checkbox., (*7)
