2. • Zend_Form is library in Zend Framework for creating
form object.
• Why Zend_Form 1.7?
• In Buzoo Indonesia, we use Zend Framework version 1.7
• HOW to?
$form = new Zend_Form();

3. • Simplifies form creation,
• Simplifies form handling in your web application.

4. • Element input filtering and validation
• Element ordering
• Element and Form rendering, including escaping
• Element and form grouping
• Element and form-level configuration
It heavily leverages other Zend Framework components to
accomplish its goals, including :
• Zend_Config
• Zend_Validate
• Zend_Filter
• Zend_Loader_PluginLoader
• Zend_View [optionally]

5. • button
• checkbox
• multicheckbox
• hidden
• image
• password
• radio
• reset
• select
• submit
• text
• textarea
• etc (see
Zend_Form_Element_*)

6. • Alnum
• Alpha
• Date
• Digits
• EmailAddress
• StringLength
• Regex
• Etc (See Zend_Validate_*)

7. • getElement($name)
• getElements() setDefaults(array $defaults)
• setDefault($name, $value)
• getValue($name)
• getValues()
• etc

8. • Example ---- We want to register account in :
www.buzoolecture.com/register/form
• Registration Form
• Nickname (Required, Min. 6 char, Max. 10 char, must be Alpha
and Number)
• Gender (Required)
• Phone (Required, must be number)
• Email Address (Required)
• Password (Required)
• Confirmation Password (Required, must be same with Password)

9. • Enables developers to store configuration data in a familiar INI
format and read them in the application by using nested object
property syntax.
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini('/path/to/config.ini',
„section_name„, $options);
• By default, the key separator character is the period character
(.)
• This can be changed :
$options['nestSeparator'] = ':';
• Comments start with (;), as in php.ini
• Zend_Config_Ini utilizes the parse_ini_file() PHP function.
• Example : http://id1.php.net/parse_ini_file
