Introduction

In this chapter, we will show you how to build classes that generate HTML form elements. The generic element generator can be used for text, text areas, passwords, and similar HTML input types. After that, we will show variations that allow you to pre-configure the element with an array of values. The form factory recipe will bring all these generators together, allowing you to render an entire form using a single configuration array. Finally, we introduce recipes that allow filtering and the validation of incoming $_POST data.
