[phplib-users] oohforms - working examples?

[Frank B. <fb...@sy...>]

for many years; I have used the oohforms (included in phplib) to 
generate/process text, textarea and select; it works great.  I just 
tried to use it for radio and checkbox and cannot seem to figure out how 
it to make it work.

I found a forum somewhere that suggested adding
	return $str;
to the end of self_get_js in of_radio.inc

This doesn't help.  Does anyone have working examples for radio and/or 
checkbox?

Nothing specific to oohforms, but for radio/checkboxes I believe you 
have to check if they are set first before you can retrieve a value

I think the attached test-form might show you how it has to be set up.

You'd have to set up php-lib in "../header.inc" (line 3) and must comment 
out "$perm->check('user')" in line 5. Then it should work. At least it 
does here for me with with oohforms.inc version 1.5 of my phplib 7.4.

Marko

Thanks Marko!

It seems I left out an important statement in my initial post.

I want to make sure the user selects a radio button and at least one 
checkbox.  Can this be done?

Well, I guess it should be.

Why not checking the overall validity as defined during form creation and 
in a next step veryfing these additional dependencies like:

---

if (isset($foo))                        // Is there data to process?
{
    if ($f->validate()) {               // Is the data valid?
        echo '<H2>Input errors found!</H2>'; // No
        echo '<B>Check entries marked!</B></FONT>';
        $foo=trim($foo);
        $float=trim($float);
        $f->load_defaults();        // Load form with submitted data
    } else {
        // hey, data is valid here!
        // check here if your dependencies are correct
        if (dependencies == false)
        {
	    echo '<B>Dependencies not correct!</B>'
            $f->load_defaults()  // and we're out again
        }
        else
        {
            // here we have done everything right
        }
    }
---

Well, I did not test the details, but I guess that's how it should work in 
your case.

What do you think?

Keep me posted about progress.
