Symfony is a PHP framework that I use regularly in my work and personal projects. It’s a fantastic tool for developing large websites and you’ll find some useful snippets & walk-throughs filed here.
By default Symfony displays forms in tables, with each new input being a table row. If you want to display your forms more semantically with fieldsets and lists, Symfony has a list formatter built in. You can tell an individual form to display as a list using the code below.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | <?php // lib/form/MyModelForm.class.php public function configure() { $this->widgetSchema->setFormFormatterName('list'); } ?> |
I often forget how to set default values for form fields. Mainly because it’s a function of sfForm rather than sfFormField I think. I the snippet below ‘field’ you are setting the default value for, and $value should be the default value.
1 | $this->setDefault('field', $value); |
The following snippets provide access to the Symfony User object from various parts of a Symfony project.
Place this line of code in the configure method of a Symfony form to allow the saving of additional fields.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | <?php // lib/form/MyModelForm.class.php public function configure() { $this->validatorSchema->setOption('allow_extra_fields', true); } ?> |
