Chapter 9 - Html_Quickform2 (!?)

[David]

There's no Bellyache section on the forum (or if there is, I'm blind), so the alternative is putting it right here in public eye. My apologies.

 

I'm confused on the benefit of using HTML_QuickForms2 in terms of actual learning value.

 

Yes, it's a class, much like the built-in PHP classes already being used, and I accept the benefit of having it handle the heavy lifting for forms (validation, etc), but from a learning perspective, it would seem that actually working through the process 'by-hand' might deliver substantially more 'rubber-meets-the-road' value.

 

It's one of the rare disappointments I've come across in the many LearnFromLarry books I own.

 

In any case, it is what it is.

 

Still much good information in the book, despite the (apparent) shortcoming.
