I'm looking for a verb meaning to check the submission of a form. "Submission check" is two words and so not acceptable.
Suggestions?

EDIT: Sorry, not to check the submission of a form...to check if a form has been submitted.

Validate(-ing), verify(-ing), check(-ing), process(-ing)...

Transmission? What context are you using it in? Why does it need to be one word?

Test(-ing), pulse(-ing), palpitate(-ing), sniff(-ing), etc..

OK I'll be a little less enigmatic.
I've got this code:

Code: Select all

if ($form->isSubmitted()) {
Which not only returns whether the form has been submitted but also changes the state of $form from "yet to have checked for existance of submission" to "have checked for existance of submission". I want a short way of saying this in tutorials, so far I have used precheck and postcheck state but that's not very descriptive.

Also can anybody think of a shorter name then attachEventHandler and detachEventHandler?

Lose Event or EventHandler.

What a weird question! How about tested and untested. Even better how about a boolean...

Code: Select all

if($form->validated)

Part of the problem is that you should probably split up the functionality (for clarity, concerns and testablity) into something like:

Code: Select all

$form->checkRequest();
if ($form->isSubmitted()) {

Its not whether it has been validated or not, its whether it has been submitted or not.

Hmm, yes. I'm going to give this some thought.

OK thanks arborint, I decided to go with your idea. I'm using $form->initialize(), which solves my other problem too because it can be either uninitialized or uninitialized.
