#Codeigniter Autoform

##How to use?

Autoform is for lazy people like me :) It extends the form helper functions and adds auto detection of field type and building the complete form.

##Display Methods
Currently the system outputs a table, but there is support for multiple display methods for when I add others. The table that is built consists of one form label and element per table row.

##Examples
###Quick form
    <?php echo new Autoform('username', 'password');

###From database result

    <?php
    $query = $this->db->where('id',1)->get('profiles');
    $result = $query->row();
    var_dump($result);
    $form = new Autoform($result);
    echo $form;

##Beyond Guessing
Autoform guesses what it should do with whatever you hand to it. But what if what you hand to it came from a database, and there are somethings in that database you don't want to include in the form? Or if you need to confirm something, like an email or password? or if a value should be hidden, like an id?

All examples below will follow $form being assigned from the following code:

    <?php
    $query = $this->db->where('id',1)->get('profiles');
    $result = $query->row();
    $form = new Autoform($result);



###Ignore fields
You can have Autoform ignore fields by calling the ignore method.

    <?php $form->ignore('phone');

###Confirm fields
Need to confirm a password or email address entered? Simple!

    <?php $form->confirm('email');

###Hidden fields
Hidden fields are also easily added. By default, an element named 'id' will be set to hidden.

    <?php $form->hidden('city');

###The result
Combining all three of the above methods we get:
