Symfony 2.3 Beginners Tutorial - Part 6 - Forms (Introduction)

In part 5 we took our first look at Doctrine which allowed us to create, updated, and delete entities in our database.

Now we move on to another corner stone of modern web development - forms.

Symfony 2 has an excellent Form Builder available for our use, and in this video we take a look at creating some basic forms, how we can render them in our templates, how we can handle, validated, and save the submitted form data, and also how to repopulate a form with already existing data.

Very good introduction to Symfony2 forms. Thank you Christopher.

One criticism though: I disagree with putting the Bootstrap CSS styles for the form fields in the controller. I think one should strive to keep all the presentation settings in the views. This is an MVC (with the emphasis on the "V" for the styling) approach after all.

thanks Deepak, I will be making more - more complex forms, validations, and event listeners are next on my agenda.

Hi,
can I place the "action" on a <div> instead of a <button>
if yes please give an example

Hey Chris. I noticed you continued your videos on your own site, but some of the videos are missing, like the one about Symfony and Bootstrap. I also noticed, you have a subscription system in place now to see the videos. But, I don't want to pay, unless I am certain the videos are there to view. Are they missing? Also, have you stopped working on the videos?

Can i create a form without creating a class ?
