not without reason even the very famous flash() function now finally returns the values in cake1.3 instead of echoing it same with the debug sql table there might still be some cases where you have to chain the strings and return them to somewhere else this way you put a spoke in your wheel so better returning everything and echoing it extactly where you want to have it. there is no overhead to this at all - quite the opposite actually greets mark On 12 Jan., 21:21, RhythmicDevil <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I did not want to type echo statements into my views so I took the > suggestion of the CakePHP docs and added the following function to my > app_helper: > > public function output($string) > { > echo parent::output($string."\n"); > > } > > And I use it like this: > > <?php > $form->create($options = array('action' => 'login')); > $form->input('User.username'); > $form->input('User.password'); > $form->button(__('Login', true), array('type'=>'submit', > 'class'=>'ui-state-default')); > $form->end(); > ?> > > The output looks like this: > > <form id="LoginForm" method="post" action="/users/login"> > <label for="UserUsername">Username</label> > <input name="data[User][username]" type="text" value="" > id="UserUsername" /> > <div class="input text"></div> > <label for="UserPassword">Password</label> > <input type="password" name="data[User][password]" value="" > id="UserPassword" /> > <div class="input password"></div> > > <input type="submit" value="Login" class="ui-state-default" /> > </form> > > Why are the inputs not inside the divs where they belong?
