36.1. Zend_Form

Zend_Form simplifies form creation and handling in your web application. It performs the following tasks:

  • Element input filtering and validation

  • Element ordering

  • Element and Form rendering, including escaping

  • Element and form grouping

  • Element and form-level configuration

Zend_Form makes use of several Zend Framework components to accomplish its goals, including Zend_Config, Zend_Validate, Zend_Filter, Zend_Loader_PluginLoader, and optionally Zend_View.
