PEAR HTML_Quickform current status

Post by periklis »

Hi everyone,
I've been using PEAR's HTML_Quickform for some time now, and I was wondering if any of you know why HTML_Quickform2 is stuck in aplha for 15 months now. Am I the only one using it, so it's dead, or is it something else going on?

I have been asking myself the same question for the past weeks. Too, bad HTML_Quickform looks like it is dead. I am now looking for alternatives. I would like to continue using the Smarty template Engine, which is why I started using HTML_Quickform in the first place. Maybe someone has a suggestion?

I have been recently contemplating on using the Zend framework, which includes Zend_Form and I have come across tutorials on how to integrate Smarty with the Zend framework. MAybe this is a good alternative?!?

THat sounds like a terrible idea, take out smarty and it sounds terrific. ZF has also form view helpers if you don't need the full power of Zend_Form
