zend_form integration

[eluser]dxrsm[/eluser]
I need to create an administration module for my data model.

I think that CI lacks a Form Library, which would enable us to quickly create admin forms for the models.

With a form library it would be easy to build a code generation tool for form classes.
These generated classes could then be rendered to a template. Something like what symfony does but without all the bloat.

Has anyone tried to use Zend_Form component with codeigniter?

If so, what are the zend components required to work with zend_form and how could they work along with CI??

Thanks

No, but I see no reason why just about of the Zend modules should not work with CodeIgniter. I'm using Zend_Search_Lucene, and I've heard of someone else using the Zend ACL library. It's just a case of including the right file and making sure you're paths are correct.

It should work for you. Depending on how you set your include path, all you need to do is:

Code:

<?php

require_once 'Zend/Form.php';

$form = new Zend_Form;
$form->setAction('my/form')
     ->setMethod('post');

// etc
?>
