Controllers

Controllers

Controller is the class extending \FormLister\Core base class, which perfoms:

• loading classes to validate data and generate captcha;
• processing form data (form data here is the value of formData property, not only of $_REQUEST array);
• processing form template and success template.

The way it works:

1. Data are loaded from form.
2. Data are loaded from external sources.
3. Snippets are called to process data.
4. Data validation if it's received from form;
5. Snippets are called to process data again.
6. Final processing - if data came from form and passed validation successfully.
7. Output.

Final processing is done by controller's process() method. Result flag has to be set with setFormStatus() method after successful processing, then fill renderTpl property with template to output processing results.
