A PHP rewrite of the fantastic Python library WTForms.
I do not take credit for the idea behind WTForms or anything related to its original implementation. I just bastardized it and ported it to PHP.
Add the following line to the require
portion of your composer.json
"deathnerd/php-wtforms":"0.5.2"
or if you're feeling froggy, pull in the cutting edge master release
"deathnerd/php-wtforms":"dev-master"
or run the following command from your favorite terminal
composer require deathnerd/php-wtforms:0.5.2
for the stable version and
composer require deathnerd/php-wtforms:dev-master
for the bleeding edge dev release.
Note: The dev-master version is not guaranteed to be stable.
To create a simple login-form it's as simple as this: ###LogInForm.php
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\Forms;
use WTForms\Form;
use WTForms\Fields\Simple\PasswordField;
use WTForms\Fields\Simple\SubmitField;
use WTForms\Fields\Core\StringField;
use WTForms\Validators\InputRequired;
use WTForms\Validators\Length;
use WTForms\Validators\Regexp;
use MyNamespace\Validators\NotContains;
class LogInForm extends Form {
public function __construct(array $options = [])
{
parent::__construct($options);
$this->username = new StringField(["validators"=>[
new InputRequired("You must provide a username"),
new Length("Usernames must be between %(min)d and %(max)d characters long", ["min"=>3, "max"=>10]),
new NotContains("Usernames may not contain the following characters: ;-/@", ["invalid_members"=>[";","-","/","@"]])
]]);
$this->password = new PasswordField(["validators"=>[
new InputRequired("Can't log in without a password!"),
new Length("Passwords must be at least %(min)d characters in length", ["min"=>5])
]]);
$this->submit = new SubmitField(["label"=>"Submit"]);
}
}
###NotContains.php
<?php
namespace MyNamespace\Validators;
use WTForms\Validators\Validator;
use WTForms\Form;
use WTForms\Fields\Core\Field;
use WTForms\Exceptions\ValidationError;
class NotContains extends Validator
{
/**
* @var string|array
*/
public $invalid_members;
/**
* @param string $message Error message to raise in case of a validation error
* @param array $options
*/
public function __construct($message = "", array $options = ['invalid_members' => []])
{
assert(!empty($options['invalid_members']), "Doesn't make sense to not have any invalid members");
$this->invalid_members = $options['invalid_members'];
$this->message = $message;
}
/**
* @param Form $form
* @param Field $field
* @param string $message
*
* @return mixed True if the field passed validation, a Validation Error if otherwise
* @throws ValidationError
*/
public function __invoke(Form $form, Field $field, $message = "")
{
if (strlen($field->data) != strlen(str_replace($this->invalid_members, "", $field->data))) {
if ($message == "") {
if ($this->message == "") {
$message = "Invalid Input.";
} else {
$message = $this->message;
}
}
throw new ValidationError($message);
}
return true;
}
}
###login.php
<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use MyNamespace\Forms\LogInForm;
$form = LogInForm::create(["formdata" => $_POST]);
if ($_POST) {
if ($form->validate()) {
// do stuff to log in and authenticate the user
}
}
?>

And that's that. More in-depth examples and actual documentation are coming in the future. For now, look in the tests
directory for ideas on how to do things
