get_input_text

PHP Developer Guide: get_input_text Function

This guide explains how to use the get_input_text function from your PHP framework. This function generates a styled HTML <input type="text"> or <input type="password"> field using your custom input rendering engine. And a lot of custom input elements.

It supports:

• Readonly rendering
• Custom classes, placeholders, and attributes

Manual Example with get_input_text

JSON

{
  "element": [{
    "input_text": {
      "title": "Username",
      "name": "username",
      "placeholder": "Enter your username"
    }
  }]
}

PHP

$magic->get_input_text('username', 'John Doe',
[
    'title' => 'Username',
     ...
]);

<div class="w_40 did-floating-label-content">
  <input type="text" name="username" class="did-floating-input" value="John Doe" />
