PHOCOA PHP Framework

This is a simple form example. Notice that there is NO CODE that needs to be written to support this form. It is linked to the data object without any code. PHOCOA automatically grabs the data from the object and puts it in the form, and then puts all data back into the object when the form is submitted. Also, note how the widgets maintain their state perfectly across requests.

Person data

Notice how the data of the Person object is updated automatically when you submit the form WITHOUT ANY CODE.

Person Object
(
    [id] => 1
    [bio:protected] => I am 31 and a Libra.
    [name:protected] => Alan Pinstein
    [creationDTS:protected] => 1210787934
    [city:private] => City Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => Atlanta
        )

    [favoriteColors:protected] => Array
        (
            [0] => blue
            [1] => red
        )

    [gender:protected] => male
    [wealth:protected] => 2500.25
)
