Add some html to Zend Forms

Question

Im looking for a simple bit of code that will let me add the following html into my zend form:

Answer 1

• Create a custom Decorator that return the label(or anything else):

  class My_Decorator_CustomHtml extends Zend_Form_Decorator_Abstract {
              public function render($content)
          {
              $element = $this->getElement();
              if (!$element instanceof Zend_Form_Element) {
                  return $content;
              }
              if (null === $element->getView()) {
                  return $content;
              }
              $html = $element->getLabel();
              return $html;
         }
  
  }
  
  
  

• Place this in the decorator path

  $form->addElementPrefixPath('My_Decorator',
                              'My/Decorator/',
                              'decorator');

• Create the element and put the custom html in the label

  $html = '

  some text....
  '; $element = new Zend_Form_Element_Hidden('hidden-input', array( 'label'=>$html, ));
$element->setDecorators(array('CustomHtml')); //add it to the form $form->addElement($element);

and that's it
