HTMLTag

The HTMLTag helper class can be used to generate individual HTML tags with an easy to use, chainable object-oriented API.

Quickstart

use AppUtils;

echo HTMLTag::create('code')
   ->addClass('preformatted')
   ->id('code-snippet')
   ->attr('data-format', 'pretty')
   ->content('Content here');

Output (formatted for readability):

<code class="preformatted" id="code-snippet" data-format="pretty">
    Content here
</code>

Examples

Adding properties

use AppUtils;

echo HTMLTag::create('select')
   ->name('product')
   ->prop('multiple')
   ->renderOpen();

Output:

<select name="product" multiple>

Self-closing tags

use AppUtils;

echo HTMLTag::create('link')
    ->attr('rel', 'stylesheet')
    ->href('/path/to/stylesheet.css')
    ->setSelfClosing();

Output:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/stylesheet.css">

When generating XHTML, the slash can be enabled globally:

use AppUtils;

HTMLTag::getGlobalOptions()->setSelfCloseSlash();

echo HTMLTag::create('link')
    ->attr('rel', 'stylesheet')
    ->href('/path/to/stylesheet.css')
    ->setSelfClosing();

Output:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/stylesheet.css"/>
