A form now always has to be bound, independent of whether the request is a POST request or not. The bind() method detects itself whether the request was a post request or not and reads its data accordingly. The "old" bind()/isBound() methods were renamed to submit()/isSubmitted().
$form = new Form('author');
$form->bind($request, $author);
if ($form->isValid()) {
// isValid() implies isSubmitted(), non-submitted forms can
// never be valid
// do something with author now
}
Alternatively, you can only bind global variables, if you don't have a request object.
$form->bindGlobals($author);
Note that the $author object is in both cases optional. You can also pass no object at all and read the data using $form->getData(), but then no validation will occur. You can also prefill the form with an object during instantiation.
$form = new Form('author', array('data' => $author));
$form->bind($request);
// etc.
* Added empty_value option on CountryField, LanguageField, LocaleField, TimezoneField
* Added missing date_pattern to DateTimeField
* Made the currency option on MoneyField required.
If the option is true, the password is never written into the input field's value. If it is false, it is only written into the input field's value after submitting a form with errors.
The default value for "always_empty" is true.
Support for theming in PHP templates has been dropped.
True theming should support theme inheritance, e.g. mytheme <- table <- default.
Currently, the Templating component does not support such inheritance. As the
only purpose of the themes so far was to style field groups with tables or
divs, and because automatic rendering of field groups/forms through the render()
method is discouraged and only recommended for rapid prototyping, themes are
dropped for now.
