[phplib] TPL_Form From: Jonathan Gale (jgale <email protected>)
Date: 08/29/00

Greetings,

I was about to write a form abstraction layer (you know...a PHP version
of CGI.pm) when I found that PHPLib already has this functionality. I
looked through the (sparse) documentation on the website for tpl_form
examples but couldn't really find what I needed.

The question is this:

In the main script how do you determine that 1) The form has been
submit-ted and 2) that the data has been validated and is ready for
processing. The example shows:

        if ($rv = $mf->getdata()) {
        $mf->clear(); // This is not strictly required, anyway it should
free
                      // some memory...
        global $email;
        // process your data at will
      } else {
        $mf->display();
      }

But as others have pointed out, the getdata function does not exist.
Perhaps they meants get_values? In either case I can't seem to get it
to work correctly. Someone posted some examples to the list a while
back but they didn't include the main application script that should
contain this logic.

Any help is appreciated.
