About
FormUtil is a library, in which you can easily generate, validate and (re)populate a form. All you do is initialize the form with the input items (including labels, validation rules etc.) in the controller, add a single line of code in the view and FormUtil will do all the work for you!

Features
- All form initialization/validation in one place
- Automatic validation when form is submitted
- Automatic repopulation of the form if validation was unsuccessfull
- Supports multiple forms on one page
- Supports multiple templates and template switching is easy
- Possibility to include a wysiwyg editor
I mainly made it to simplify making and validating a form to update records in a database, but it could also be used for normal forms or questionaires/polls/
