Form Generation Library

Edit:

good news: it's nearly ok... bad new, there's still one bug: when the validation fails, the system outputs:

- Unable to access an error message corresponding to your field name.

Into the error message zone you defined. But I duno why nor how to get rid of this...
Could you take a look at this??

I think it's rather finished and usable now, but there are rather ugly hacks:
- one because of the impossibility to declare a validation callback IN a controller... so I was obliged to move it into a MY_Form_validation.php (core extention)... a sad consequence's I haven't found any proper way to get the reCAPTCHA response message (derailed error) back, so there is only TRUE/FALSE....
- The original form_validation lang file has no entry for the new field type I created (recaptcha), so we have to manually declare the error message...

But bad things apart, it's usable:

Code:

$form = new Form();
        
        $form
            ->open('recaptcha_demo')
            ->text('username','Your Username','required|trim|alpha_numeric|max_length[30]|xss_clean')
            /*
             * That's the interesting part ;) simple reCAPTCHA integration!
             *
             * just write $form->recaptcha('Title of the label') and set the error_message() to what you want!
             * We have to set this message because there's no matching entry in the form-validation file for field-type "recaptcha"....
            */            
            ->recaptcha('Are you human?')
            ->error_message('Are you really human?? Copy the right text on the image below!')
            /* That's all in here ;) */
            ->submit()
            ->reset()
            ->validate();

is enough to get the form that's shown as screenshot...

I hope this little contribution get his way into your library, and anyone else is free to use it!

Thanks to Jon Trelfa for his original reCAPTCHA plugin for CI! It's the base of much of the code...

Good evening,
