I wonder why your radiobutton and checkbox <input><label>'s are followed by a <br />. Did you modify the library?

I modified the config file to have two different configs.
Code:
// config set two
$nameasid[2] = TRUE;
$replace[2] = 'FALSE|TRUE|TRUE';
$break_after[2] = 'text|password|textarea|upload|select|button|radio|checkbox';
$label_pos[2] = 'before';
$label_req_class[2] = 'required';
$label_req_flag[2] = '<span style="color:yellow"> * </span>';
..etc..in my controller
Code:
$form = new Form();
$form
->config(1)
->open($this->prefix.'/form2/'.$user_id)
// identification
->config(2)
->fieldset('Availability')
->radiogroup('availability',$avail)
->br()A second look at my code and I don't think the ->config(1) is necessary but I posted it un-edited.
The only change to the lib was your new posted code, please see this post

This looks like a nice library. One thing I would suggest is first that is one massive file with multiple classes in, why not separate them out into their own files. Another thing is there is a lot of clever code to handle creating the form and then process it, but how often do you update the forms on your website. I didn't get to look through it all but I know if its not going to change very often why not cache the form or save it to ease on the loading of it. Doesn't waste resources that way.

Can you please provide some more info for me to solve the second one? I cannot reproduce the problem with the double submit field.

thanks. suggestions are always welcome! i generally prefer to have one file only instead of lots of files cluttered around. but you are welcome to suggest a better way of handling this. i appreciate every input!! also about the caching. i am not too familiar with it, so if you have suggestions or improvements, please pm me or post them here!

..etc..with this set-up in the config file every radiobutton and/or checkbox will be followed by a <br />
the problem with IE8 (or my CSS ;-)) is that the breaks do not clear the float, so in order to make it work in IE8, too you need to add:
Code:
form br {
clear: left;
}hope that helped!!
i will look into this and see if that is something that should be added to the CSS by default. anyone who doesn't need it can always comment it out or delete it...
what do you guys think?

@everybody
A new version with some minor fixes has just been uploaded. it gets rid of some more PHP notices. any suggestions, feedback, bug report or php notices? PLEASE send them to me!! :-)
I will also try to finally complete the user guide since I have a little time on my hand and no rush project going on right now. keep your fingers crossed ;-)

Thanks for the mods to the CSS
It worked fine in IE8 and doesn't seem to be broken in other browsers, although I haven't checked many.
Looking forward to the manual!
I will check out the new release :coolsmile:
