CT310

• Allows users to input information for webpage to process
• Login screens, job applications, online quizzes, etc.
• Fuel provides us a great method making them!
• The benefit to using fuel forms is extensibility, and security.
• If there are changes in the html standard we don't have to redevelop our site.
• Fuel will keep it's API and reimplement the underlying functions.

We will explore and re-create this example

1. First download the source files with skeleton code for our view
   • Source
   • cd ~/Downloads
   • wget http://cs.colostate.edu/~ct310/yr2020sp/recitations/Lab12/lab12skeleton.tar
   • tar -xvf lab12skeleton.tar
2. Next put the source files in the correct locations
   1. Move the file inside of "controller" titled "fuelformexample.php" to ~/fuel/app/classes/controller
   2. mv controller/fuelformexample.php ~/fuel/app/classes/controller
   3. Move the file inside of "model" titled "fuelformexample.php" to ~/fuel/app/classes/model
   4. mv model/fuelformexample.php ~/fuel/app/classes/model
   5. Rename the directory: "fuelformexample_css" to "fuelformexample" and put it in ~/local_html/ct310/assets/css
   6. mv fuelformexample_css ~/local_html/ct310/assets/css/fuelformexample
   7. Update the permissions on local_html
   8. chmod -R 755 ~/local_html
   9. Rename the directory: "fuelformexample_views" to "fuelformexample" and put it in ~/fuel/app/views
   10. mv fuelformexample_views ~/fuel/app/views/fuelformexample
   11. Rename the file "~/fuel/app/views/mainview.skeleton.php" to "mainview.php"
   12. mv ~/fuel/app/views/fuelformexample/mainview.skeleton.php ~/fuel/app/views/fuelformexample/mainview.php
   13. Visit your app at: https://cs.colostate.edu:4444/~EID/ct310/index/fuelformexample
3. Now fill out the skeleton code using fuel forms so that it looks like the html form version.
   • I already got you started with the Form::open and Form::close tags.
   • Read the fuel docs to figure out what elements you need to insert.
   • https://fuelphp.com/docs/classes/form.html
   • When you're done submit the link to your fuel app on Canvas under lab 12.
