Is There A Php Html Tag Library?

Is there a PHP HTML tag library for doing server-side HTML tags? Java and ASP.NET have these but those are compiled langs vs. scripted. For example, in ASP.NET, you define a textbo

Solution 1:

There's not a built-in way to do it but template systems can add similar functionality. I personally use Smarty. It's not quite the same but it's similar.

For example, check boxes:

{ html_checkboxes name="foo" }

Or a date picker

{ html_select_date time=$some_unix_timestamp }

Also easy to extend it with plug-ins

Solution 2:

Some frameworks have some implementations of this approach, e.g. form helper in CodeIgniter or view helpers in Zend framework.
