<?php // include the class include('FH3/class.dbFormHandler.php'); // create new formhandler object $form = new dbFormHandler(); // Set the database info and connect! $form->dbInfo( "myDB", "myTable" ); $form->dbConnect( "localhost", "username", "password" ); // some fields + button $form->textField("Name", "name", FH_STRING, 20, 50); $form->textField("Age", "age", FH_INTEGER, 3, 3); $form->selectField("Gender", "gender", array('M', 'F'), null, false); $form->submitButton("Save"); // data handling // MAKE SURE YOU USE ONSAVED! $form->onSaved("doRun"); // display the page $form->flush(); // the data handler function doRun( $id, $data ) { echo "Hello ". $data['name'] ."\n".
