PEAR addElement() not accepting content

PHP
1

Hello there,

I’m trying to create my first form using PEAR QuickForm2, following the PHP Anthology SP book. Now my php server gives me this error:


Catchable fatal error: Argument 4 passed to HTML_QuickForm2_Container::addElement() must be an array, string given, called in C:\\my_server_dir\\phpQuickForm\\HTMLForm.php on line 7 and defined in C:\\php\\PEAR\\HTML\\QuickForm2\\Container.php on line 246

I checked the Container.php file of QuickForm and is correct,

addElement()

requires an array to be passed as the last argument. What’s wrong here?
Guidance please!

C:\my_server_dir\phpQuickForm\HTMLForm.php on line 7 isn’t passing an array as argument 4 into addElement().

Thank you and I get that the script is not passing an array as the foruth argument, which is required by the addElement() function. So this is the code


   $form = new HTML_QuickForm('Create', 'post', basename(__FILE__));
  
  // Our Default Form Options
  $opts = array('size' => 20, 'maxlength' => 255);

  // Add our form elements
  [B]$form->addElement('static', 'header', null, 
      '<h1>Register</h1>'
  );[/B]

So I guess my question is:

-Is the code from the book not updated or did I do something wrong at installation?

Thanks

The arguments from QuickForm2 are different than QuickForm. Check the documentation on PEAR site to see the differences. There is a section there that explains the difference.
Here is a link to page which shows examples:

Have fun, be patient - I’m learning the hard way too!!!
