Hello Readers ,

If you are using Cakephp and not use Cakephp FormHelper then its a bad technique of coding . To use Cakephp FormHelper first of all declare FormHelper in controller .

So we have the piece of Html code below which we need to convert in Cakephp Form.

<form>
<fieldset>
<div class="control-group required error">
    <label for="Fieldname" class="control-label">Fieldname</label>
    <div class="controls">
        <input name="data[Fieldname]" class="form-error" maxlength="255" type="text" value="" id="Fieldname"/>
        <span class="help-inline">Error message</span>
    </div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>

To in order to Convert above Html form into Cakephp form use the following Cakephp code.

<?php echo $this->Form->create('ModelName', array(
    'class' => 'form-horizontal',
    'inputDefaults' => array(
        'format' => array('before', 'label', 'between', 'input', 'error', 'after'),
        'div' => array('class' => 'control-group'),
        'label' => array('class' => 'control-label'),
        'between' => '<div class="controls">',
        'after' => '</div>',
        'error' => array('attributes' => array('wrap' => 'span', 'class' => 'help-inline')),
    )));?>
<fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('Fieldname', array(
    'label' => array('class' => 'control-label'), // the preset in Form->create() doesn't work for me
    )); ?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end();?>

That's it.
