Dynamic Form Generation

[mudmin]

Yeah. There are a few auto generation features. The best ones are the ones that are designed to update the database (deal with $_POST), unless you want to have all fields be text. I'm probably not explaining that very well.

So let's say you have a table called "assets" with 20 columns in it. You would do something like this...

To EDIT a particular row of the assets table...

Code:

$t = 'assets';

Code:

$skip = ['id'];

Code:

generateForm($t,$id,$skip);

Then to process the form

Code:

$id = Input::get('id');

//make sure you are passing the id in the form itself
//do any checks you want to do here

Code:

$skipFields = ['create_type'];

Code:

$updateFields = updateFields2($_POST, $skipFields);

Code:

$db->insert('assets',$updateFields);

Code:

$db->update('assets',$id,$updateFields);

to ADD a row to that table...

Code:

$t = 'assets';

Code:

$skip = ['id'];

Code:

generateAddForm($t,$skip);

Then to process the form
//do any checks you want to do here

Code:

$skipFields = ['create_type'];

Code:

$updateFields = updateFields2($_POST, $skipFields);

Code:

$db->insert('assets',$updateFields);
