Ok there is getName and getLabel for form elements, but is there something for getType()?
I am using a loop and when it is a checkbox I want it to do something else.
You'll have to use this:
if (strcmp($myCheckbox->getAttribute('type'), 'check') === 0) {
// Do stuff...
}
I am unable to replicate this instruction in Phalcon 2.0.8:
{% for element in my_form %}
{{ element.getAttribute('type')|json_encode }}
{% if element.getAttribute('type') == 'hidden' %}
{{ element.render() }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}The getAttribute('type') returns null for every element in my form.
My solution is:
public function beforeValidation($data, $entity, $messages)
{
$elements = $this->getElements();
foreach ($elements as $element){
$is_checkbox = is_a($element, 'Phalcon\Forms\Element\Check');
if ($is_checkbox){
// do stuff
}
}
}
