Zend Form: How do I make it bend to my will?

Question

I\'ve read the manual many times, I\'ve scoured the posts offered by Google on the subject, I have even bought a couple of books that deal with ZF. Now, why am I still confused?

Answer 1

Skipping out on the form-wide decorators (IE - printing individual elements of the form rather than just relying on the Form's standard View Helper to handle everything) is one way to get a bunch of control back.

Another option is to simply hand-code your form and only use ZF to handle validation and filtering.
