FormButton

The FormButton view helper is used to render a <button> HTML element and its attributes.

Basic usage:

use Zend\Form\Element;

$element = new Element\Button('my-button');
$element->setLabel("Reset");

// Within your view...

/**
 * Example #1: Render entire button in one shot...
 */
echo $this->formButton($element);
// <button name="my-button" type="button">Reset</button>

/**
 * Example #2: Render button in 3 steps
 */
// Render the opening tag
echo $this->formButton()->openTag($element);
// <button name="my-button" type="button">

echo '<span class="inner">' . $element->getLabel() . '</span>';

// Render the closing tag
echo $this->formButton()->closeTag();
// </button>

/**
 * Example #3: Override the element label
 */
echo $this->formButton()->render($element, 'My Content');
// <button name="my-button" type="button">My Content</button>
