Pancake PHP documentation

Pancake PHP, or just Pancake for short, is a library that provides the tools necessary to create web forms, including pre-defined form fields, validators, and processing hooks.

Pancake is based on the following philosophy about forms:

• A more precise means of input is better for the user.
• Forms should be consistent across a website.
• All instructions pertaining to a form field must be in the <label> tag.
• Repetitive tasks should be made hassle-free.
• Pancakes are tasty.

Pancake is open source and licensed under a BSD license.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3+
• jQuery 1.6+
