Example using symfony form helpers:
<fieldset> <legend>Personal Information</legend> <label for="title"><span>Title<em>(required)</em></span><?php echo select_tag('title', options_for_select(sfConfig::get('app_title'), $member->getTitle(), array('include_custom' => 'Select')),highlight_error('title'));?></label> <label for="first_name"><span>First name<em>(required)</em></span><?php echo object_input_tag($member, 'getFirstName', highlight_error('first_name'));?></label> <label for="last_name"><span>Last name<em>(required)</em></span><?php echo object_input_tag($member, 'getLastName', highlight_error('last_name'));?></label> <div class="clear"></div> <?php $dob = $member->getDateOfBirth() === null ? '' : $member->getDateOfBirth(); ?> <label for="date_of_birth"><span>Date of birth<em>*</em></span><?php echo input_date_tag('date_of_birth', $dob, highlight_error('date_of_birth', array ('order'=> array('d','m','y'), 'include_custom' => array ('day'=>'Day','month'=>'Month','year'=>'Year'), 'year_start'=>'1928', 'year_end'=>'1992')));?> </label> </fieldset>
The above code will output the following:
<fieldset> <legend>Personal Information</legend> <label for="title"><span>Title<em>*</em></span> <select name="title" id="title"> <option value="">Select</option> <option value="Mr">Mr</option> <option value="Ms">Ms</option> <option value="Mrs">Mrs</option> <option value="Dr">Dr</option> <option value="Rt">Rt Hon.</option> <option value="Rev">Rev</option> <option value="Mdme">Mdme</option> <option value="Sir">Sir</option> </select> </label> <label for="first_name"><span>First name<em>*</em></span> <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" value="" /> </label> <label for="last_name"><span>Last name<em>*</em></span> <input type="text" name="last_name" id="last_name" value="" /> </label> <div class="clear"></div> <label for="date_of_birth"><span>Date of birth<em>*</em></span> <select name="date_of_birth[day]" id="date_of_birth_day"> <option value="" selected="selected">Day</option> <option value="1">01</option> ... and so on ... <option value="30">30</option> <option value="31">31</option> </select> - <select name="date_of_birth[month]" id="date_of_birth_month"> <option value="" selected="selected">Month</option> <option value="1">January</option> ... and so on ... <option value="12">December</option> </select> - <select name="date_of_birth[year]" id="date_of_birth_year"> <option value="" selected="selected">Year</option> <option value="1928">1928</option> ... and so on ... <option value="1992">1992</option> </select> </label> </fieldset>
