Hello people,
Has anyone tried this out ? The HtmlHelper class by the guy who sold most on CodeCanyon.
http://codecanyon.net/item/html-helper-class/161718
Here is the list of features:
label, textfield, textarea, checkbox, radiobutton, select, ul, ol, img, a, style, script, swf (embed youtube, vimeo and other flash content)
Anyways, I believe this item is a little bit overpriced ($4) for what it is, so I'm building my own HTML Preprocess Class.
I haven't figured out every features I'm going to add. However, I might release it on this forum for free (for 24 hours more or less) before trying to get it on CodeCanyon (not sure about CodeCanyon, but we'll see: I don't like to make people pay ^^) Kind of a pay back even though you guys could probably do such a class rather quickly I'm slow, so consider this as being the most awesome gift EVAAA
Quick preview of what the head would look like with this class (can't show the rest as I'm not that far yet xD):
[syntax=php]<?php
include_once 'lib/htmlpp.class.php';
$htmlpp = new htmlpp();
/* Changing the head settings */
$htmlpp->version('5'); // Sets the page to be HTML 5 (default: xhtml 1.1)
$htmlpp->lang('fr'); // Sets the page language to French (default: en)
/* Meta tags */
$htmlpp->add_meta_tag('keywords', 'ConradK, Webdesign, PHP tutorials');
$htmlpp->add_meta_tag('description', 'ConradK is an 18 year old programmer');
/* Stylesheets */
$htmlpp->add_css('styles.css','print',TRUE); // 2nd and 3rd params optional default: media="all" and inline = FALSE
echo $htmlpp->head();
echo $htmlpp->meta_tags();
echo $htmlpp->stylesheets();
?>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>[/syntax]
Any suggestions would be appreciated. This is a simple class, but writing meta tags or remembering the W3C DTDs is the most annoying thing IMO... so I thought I'd build a little tool to make everything easier.
Best regards,
CK

Re: HTML Helper Remake...
I'd suggest maybe having stuff like forms in a seperate class (makes more sense to do; new form();) and such.. Also, in __construct you might want to initialise everything that ever file has..
Doctype, html head body etc tags?

I don't like to brag, but I wasn't circumcised. I was circumnavigated.

Re: HTML Helper Remake...
I'm in agreeance with Bowers;
Separation of the class will benefit both you in terms of organization and structure, and your users in that they can approach it in a logical manner.
I do believe this is a very worthwhile class that will save buckets of time in the end of things

Re: HTML Helper Remake...
line 18 classes should be class. Otherwise, nice
I will add some of the things you submitted to the library when I get around to it.
