Zend\Form\Element\DateTimeLocal

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

Basic Usage of Zend\Form\Element\DateTimeLocal

This element automatically adds a "type" attribute of value "datetime-local".

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

$dateTimeLocal = new Element\DateTimeLocal('appointment-date-time');
$dateTimeLocal
    ->setLabel('Appointment Date')
    ->setAttributes(array(
        'min'  => '2010-01-01T00:00:00',
        'max'  => '2020-01-01T00:00:00',
        'step' => '1', // minutes; default step interval is 1 min
    ));

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

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.
