Zend\Form\Element\Time

The Time element is meant to be paired with the Zend/Form/View/Helper/FormTime for HTML5 inputs with type time. This element adds filters and validators to it’s input filter specification in order to validate HTML5 time input values on the server.

Basic Usage of Zend\Form\Element\Time

This element automatically adds a "type" attribute of value "time".

use Zend\Form\Element;
use Zend\Form\Form;

$time = new Element\Month('time');
$time
    ->setLabel('Time')
    ->setAttributes(array(
        'min'  => '00:00:00',
        'max'  => '23:59:59',
        'step' => '60', // seconds; default step interval is 60 seconds
    ));

$form = new Form('my-form');
$form->add($time);

Note

Note: the min, max, and step attributes should be set prior to calling Zend\Form::prepare(). Otherwise, the default input specification for the element may not contain the correct validation rules.

Available Methods

The following methods are in addition to the inherited methods of Zend\Form\Element\DateTime.

getInputSpecification

getInputSpecification()

Returns a input filter specification, which includes Zend\Filter\StringTrim and will add the appropriate validators based on the values from the min, max, and step attributes. See getInputSpecification in Zend\Form\Element\DateTime for more information.

One difference from Zend\Form\Element\DateTime is that the Zend\Validator\DateStep validator will expect the step attribute to use an interval of seconds (default is 60 seconds).

Returns array
