php2html.lib = Clever-Html-Engine

Your tool to quickly program html code in your PHP web project.

php2html.lib.php also called "HTML clever engine" consists of a PHP library, with 50+ functions that generate HTML code for standard html elements (INPUT / CHECKBOX / RADIO-GROUP / TABLE), as well as other useful functions. You get a complete system to form the frontend part of your program. Built into the system is the easy use of several open-source modules (icons, advanced tables, HTML editor, jquery), and a complete system for changing user languages.

Standards: (PHP7) PHP8+, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript.

Source should be in UTF-8, with no tabs, indent: 4 chars

When using PHP2HTML your code will be more compact, and easier to read, and you can have both backend and frontend code in one file.

As an example this height level PHP-code:

PHP8+:
htm_Input(type:'dec2', name:'dec2', valu:$dec2, labl:'@htm_Input(Dec2)',
          hint:'@Demo of htm_Input Field type dec2: number with 2 decimal', algn:'center', unit:'<$ ');

will generate this HTML-code:

<div class="inpField" id="inpBox" style="width: 200px; margin: auto; display: inline-block;">
   <input type= "text"  id="dec2" name="dec2"  value="$ 54 321,00"  class="boxStyle"
          style="text-align: center; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; width: 90%; " 
          oninvalid="this.setCustomValidity('Wrong or missing data in htm_Input(Dec2) ! ')" 
          oninput="setCustomValidity('')"  pattern="^\d*\.?((25)|(50)|(5)|(75)|(0)|(00))?$" />
   <abbr class= "hint">
       <label for="dec2" style="font-size: 12px; ">
            <div style="white-space: nowrap; margin-left:   auto;">htm_Input(Dec2)</div>
       </label>
       <data-hint style="top: 45px; left: 2px;">Demo of htm_Input Field type dec2: number with 2 decimal</data-hint>
   </abbr>
</div>

and looks like this:

How to start your first project

Save system-files on your web-server in system-folder '{public-URL}/hello'

Create project-folder '/world' and create the file: '{public-URL}/hello/world/first.page.php' with this content:

< ? 
$GLOBALS["ØProgRoot"]= '../';
require_once ('../php2html.lib.php');
htm_Page_(titl:'DEMO', info:lang('@PHP2HTML: My first page'), imag:'../_accessories/_background.png, attr:');
    htm_Caption(labl:'HELLO WORLD:', hint:'', algn:'center',styl:'color:#550000; font-weight:600; font-size: 18px;');
    htm_nl(2);
    htm_TextDiv(body:'This page is build with PHP2HTML', algn:'center', styl:'box-shadow: 3px 3px 6px 0px #ccc; padding: 5px; border: solid 1px lightgray;', attr:'background-color: white;');
htm_Page_end()
?>

(Correct: '< ?' to '<?' in the first line)

Now you can see the page in your browser at URL: '{public-URL}/hello/world/first.page.php'

Another more in-depth way is to follow the instructions in Quick_Proj/quickstart.page.php

Advanced example - see files in folder: '{public-URL}/hello/Proj.demo/'
