CodeIgniter – Form Generator

CodeIgniter Form Generator

Hello Code Igniter Developers,

This one is specially for you, I started making this because I have a habit of working with WYSIWYG designers, or when I just have to dump into CodeIgniter these huge HTML Form’s that I want to transform them into CodeIgniter.

This obviously requires the Form Helper.

This is in Beta state.
When I went online, I encountered a few problems which I’ve fixed, but others might occur, specially because of the class I’m using to parse the HTML and securing it.

What does it do? How does it work?
Open the website, paste a form, or various forms, or an entire webpage worth of HTML. No problem, as long as you have an opening tag form and a closing one.
The Script will parse it and will return the form’s elements in the appropriate function of Form Helper.

Future Additions in Mind:

  • + Once you paste a huge ass HTML Form, you will immediatly get the Controller’s Code for Form Validation if you so wish.
  • + In the second tab of the website I’m pasting here so you can go and try this utility, there will be a Form Creation Utility, where you will add fields, and I will generate a simple Controller Form Validation response as well, but with jQuery JSON communication. (That’s after 1st part is finished).

I’m open to suggestions, also please report in here any bugs you find.

Words and the subconscious

So, words.

Aren’t they amazing? Allowing us to communicate with each-other, there are thousands of words, and we still learn something new once in a while, and it’s about ‘learning’ subconsciously that I wish to talk to you about.

It’s said that our Brain stores everything it sees, listens and smells, and why we are quite pathetic in our use of if, there are times in which is quite interesting to see its power… Well, it amazes me at least.

I know this must have happened to you as well, at least once before. Yesterday it happened to me twice, so I decided to share my interest.. I’ll start explaining myself now.

By the time we become grownups, we don’t learn new words everyday, unfortunately, or at least we don’t memorize them into our vocabulary. But let’s say you’re talking with someone and they use a new word, for instance, there’s a Portuguese word: ‘pelém’ – which means a really skinny or weak\bad nutrition-ed person – and you’re like ‘Wow, I never heard that before in my entire life’.

Later that day, you’re at home with the TV News in the background, and while barely paying attention, you suddenly hear someone using ‘pelém’, in a documentary a couple of times.

The fact that our brain know has the ability to link it to our active conscious now, as it’s part of our vocabulary, it’s amazing, it’s like our brain is a computer with it’s own filter.

It just shows our powerful our brains really are, it’s just sad we can’t access it however the hell we wish.

But tell me, has it happened to you to?

Hello and welcome.

This is my first post on the blog, it’s mostly a introduction from myself to y’all, so I’m going to keep it simple.

My name is André Catita and I’m a web developer from Porto, Portugal.
As the time I’m writing this, I am 23 years old and my main hobbies consist of Movies, TV Shows, Music, Games and the Web itself.
I’m currently taking Computer Software Engineering at ISEP.

I intend to update my portfolio on a regular basis, and leave posts about everything I’m in the mood to, not only specific to the Web.

Thank you for your visit.
