Manual  /  Functions  /  Database Functions  /  dbFormHandler

(Since version FH3-v1.2)

Arguments:

Name	Description
$name	The name of the form. When none is given, a unique name will be generated.
$action	The action of the form. By default this is the same URL as the one which was called to display the form. When you set this to another URL formhandler cannot check the form! Make sure it's pointing to itsself!
$extra	This can be extra information which will be included in the form's html tag. You can add for example some CSS or javascript.

Description:

With this function you can create a new FormHandler object with database supporting enabled. For performance reasons it is recommended to use FormHandler() if you dont use one of the database functions!!

Example

<?php  /**  * Your Database Connection (In This Example MySQL)  */  $connection = mysql_connect( "localhost", "username", "password" );  // connection made ?  if( $connection )  {      // select the database      if( !mysql_select_db( "database", $connection ) )      {          // could not select database!          die('Could not select the database! Error: ' . mysql_error() );      }  }  // could not connect to the database  else  {      die('Could not make a connection to the database! Error: ' . mysql_error() );  }  // include the formhandler  include('FH3/class.dbFormHandler.php');  // create a new form  $form = new dbFormHandler();  // set the database info  $form -> setConnectionResource( $connection, "myTable", "mysql" );  // fields.. $form -> textField('Test', 'myField', FH_STRING ); // here comes the rest of the form  // ............  // set the data handler  // (NOTE the onSaved, this is different then onCorrect!)  $form -> onSaved("doSomething");  // display the form  $form -> flush();  // the data handler...  // NOTE the two arguments!!!!  function doSomething( $id, $data )  {      // do something here...  }  ?>
