 * Generates a form input element complete with label and wrapper div

 *
 * See each field type method for more information. Any options that are part of
 * $attributes or $options for the different **type** methods can be included in `$options` for input().i
 * Additionally, any unknown keys that are not in the list below, or part of the selected type's options
 * will be treated as a regular html attribute for the generated input.
 *
 * - `type` - Force the type of widget you want. e.g. `type => 'select'`
 * - `label` - Either a string label, or an array of options for the label. See FormHelper::label()
 * - `div` - Either `false` to disable the div, or an array of options for the div.
 *	See HtmlHelper::div() for more options.
 * - `options` - for widgets that take options e.g. radio, select
 * - `error` - control the error message that is produced
 * - `empty` - String or boolean to enable empty select box options.
 * - `before` - Content to place before the label + input.
 * - `after` - Content to place after the label + input.
 * - `between` - Content to place between the label + input.
 * - `format` - format template for element order. Any element that is not in the array, will not be in the output.
 *	- Default input format order: array('before', 'label', 'between', 'input', 'after', 'error')
 *	- Default checkbox format order: array('before', 'input', 'between', 'label', 'after', 'error')
 *	- Hidden input will not be formatted
 *	- Radio buttons cannot have the order of input and label elements controlled with these settings.
 *
 * @param string $fieldName This should be "Modelname.fieldname"
 * @param array $options Each type of input takes different options.
 * @return string Completed form widget.
