Method Details

Hide inherited methods

a() public static method

Defined in: yii\helpers\BaseHtml::a()

Generates a hyperlink tag.

See also yii\helpers\Url::to().

public static string a ( $text, $url = null, $options = [] )
$text string

Link body. It will NOT be HTML-encoded. Therefore you can pass in HTML code such as an image tag. If this is coming from end users, you should consider encode() it to prevent XSS attacks.
$url array|string|null

The URL for the hyperlink tag. This parameter will be processed by yii\helpers\Url::to() and will be used for the "href" attribute of the tag. If this parameter is null, the "href" attribute will not be generated.

If you want to use an absolute url you can call yii\helpers\Url::to() yourself, before passing the URL to this method, like this:

Html::a('link text', Url::to($url, true))
$options array

The tag options in terms of name-value pairs. These will be rendered as the attributes of the resulting tag. The values will be HTML-encoded using encode(). If a value is null, the corresponding attribute will not be rendered. See renderTagAttributes() for details on how attributes are being rendered.
return string

The generated hyperlink

 

                public static function a($text, $url = null, $options = [])
{
    if ($url !== null) {

    $value = static::getAttributeValue($model, $attribute);
    if (!array_key_exists('value', $options)) {
        $options['value'] = '1';
    }
    if (!array_key_exists('uncheck', $options)) {

        unset($options['label']);
    }
    $checked = "$value" === "{$options['value']}";
    if (!array_key_exists('id', $options)) {

  • tag: string|false, the tag name of the container element. False to render checkbox without container. See also tag().
  • unselect: string, the value that should be submitted when none of the checkboxes is selected. You may set this option to be null to prevent default value submission. If this option is not set, an empty string will be submitted.
  • encode: boolean, whether to HTML-encode the checkbox labels. Defaults to true. This option is ignored if item option is set.
  • separator: string, the HTML code that separates items.
  • itemOptions: array, the options for generating the checkbox tag using checkbox().

  • item: callable, a callback that can be used to customize the generation of the HTML code corresponding to a single item in $items. The signature of this callback must be:

    function ($index, $label, $name, $checked, $value)

    where $index is the zero-based index of the checkbox in the whole list; $label is the label for the checkbox; and $name, $value and $checked represent the name, value and the checked status of the checkbox input.

For each sub-array, an option group will be generated whose label is the key associated with the sub-array. If you have a list of data models, you may convert them into the format described above using yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::map().

Note, the values and labels will be automatically HTML-encoded by this method, and the blank spaces in the labels will also be HTML-encoded.
$options array

The tag options in terms of name-value pairs. The following options are specially handled:

  • prompt: string, a prompt text to be displayed as the first option. Since version 2.0.11 you can use an array to override the value and to set other tag attributes:

    ['text' => 'Please select', 'options' => ['value' => 'none', 'class' => 'prompt', 'label' => 'Select']],

  • options: array, the attributes for the select option tags. The array keys must be valid option values, and the array values are the extra attributes for the corresponding option tags. For example,

    [
    'value1' => ['disabled' => true],
    'value2' => ['label' => 'value 2'],
];
  • groups: array, the attributes for the optgroup tags. The structure of this is similar to that of 'options', except that the array keys represent the optgroup labels specified in $items.

    }
    $hiddenOptions = ArrayHelper::merge($hiddenOptions, ArrayHelper::remove($options, 'hiddenOptions', []));
    // Add a hidden field so that if a model only has a file field, we can
    // still use isset($_POST[$modelClass]) to detect if the input is submitted.
    // The hidden input will be assigned its own set of html options via `$hiddenOptions`.
    // This provides the possibility to interact with the hidden field via client script.
    // Note: For file-field-only model with `disabled` option set to `true` input submitting detection won't work.

  • prompt: string, a prompt text to be displayed as the first option. Since version 2.0.11 you can use an array to override the value and to set other tag attributes:

    ['text' => 'Please select', 'options' => ['value' => 'none', 'class' => 'prompt', 'label' => 'Select']],

  • options: array, the attributes for the select option tags. The array keys must be valid option values, and the array values are the extra attributes for the corresponding option tags. For example,

    [
    'value1' => ['disabled' => true],
    'value2' => ['label' => 'value 2'],
];
  • groups: array, the attributes for the optgroup tags. The structure of this is similar to that of 'options', except that the array keys represent the optgroup labels specified in $items.
  • unselect: string, the value that will be submitted when no option is selected. When this attribute is set, a hidden field will be generated so that if no option is selected in multiple mode, we can still obtain the posted unselect value.
  • encodeSpaces: bool, whether to encode spaces in option prompt and option value with &nbsp; character. Defaults to false.
  • encode: bool, whether to encode option prompt and option value characters. Defaults to true. This option is available since 2.0.3.

A radio button list is like a checkbox list, except that it only allows single selection.

public static string radioList ( $name, $selection = null, $items = [], $options = [] )
$name string

The name attribute of each radio button.
$selection string|array|null

The selected value(s). String for single or array for multiple selection(s).
$items array

The data item used to generate the radio buttons. The array keys are the radio button values, while the array values are the corresponding labels.
$options array

Options (name => config) for the radio button list container tag. The following options are specially handled:

  • tag: string|false, the tag name of the container element. False to render radio buttons without container. See also tag().
  • unselect: string, the value that should be submitted when none of the radio buttons is selected. By setting this option, a hidden input will be generated.
  • disabled: boolean, whether the generated by unselect option hidden input should be disabled. Defaults to false. This option is available since version 2.0.16.
  • encode: boolean, whether to HTML-encode the checkbox labels. Defaults to true. This option is ignored if item option is set.
  • strict: boolean, if $selection is an array and this value is true a strict comparison will be performed on $items keys. Defaults to false. This option is available since 2.0.37.
  • separator: string, the HTML code that separates items.
  • itemOptions: array, the options for generating the radio button tag using radio().

  • item: callable, a callback that can be used to customize the generation of the HTML code corresponding to a single item in $items. The signature of this callback must be:

    function ($index, $label, $name, $checked, $value)

    where $index is the zero-based index of the radio button in the whole list; $label is the label for the radio button; and $name, $value and $checked represent the name, value and the checked status of the radio button input, respectively.

See renderTagAttributes() for details on how attributes are being rendered.

renderTagAttributes() public static method

Defined in: yii\helpers\BaseHtml::renderTagAttributes()

Renders the HTML tag attributes.

Attributes whose values are of boolean type will be treated as boolean attributes.

Attributes whose values are null will not be rendered.

The values of attributes will be HTML-encoded using encode().

aria and data attributes get special handling when they are set to an array value. In these cases, the array will be "expanded" and a list of ARIA/data attributes will be rendered. For example, 'aria' => ['role' => 'checkbox', 'value' => 'true'] would be rendered as aria-role="checkbox" aria-value="true".

If a nested data value is set to an array, it will be JSON-encoded. For example, 'data' => ['params' => ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'yii']] would be rendered as data-params='{"id":1,"name":"yii"}'.

See also addCssClass().

public static string renderTagAttributes ( $attributes )
$attributes array

Attributes to be rendered. The attribute values will be HTML-encoded using encode().
return string

The rendering result. If the attributes are not empty, they will be rendered into a string with a leading white space (so that it can be directly appended to the tag name in a tag). If there is no attribute, an empty string will be returned.

$options array

Options (name => config) for the radio button list. The following options are supported:

  • encode: boolean, whether to HTML-encode the items. Defaults to true. This option is ignored if the item option is specified.
  • separator: string, the HTML code that separates items. Defaults to a simple newline ("\n"). This option is available since version 2.0.7.
  • itemOptions: array, the HTML attributes for the li tags. This option is ignored if the item option is specified.

  • item: callable, a callback that is used to generate each individual list item. The signature of this callback must be:

    function ($item, $index)

    where $index is the array key corresponding to $item in $items. The callback should return the whole list item tag.

See renderTagAttributes() for details on how attributes are being rendered.
return string

The generated unordered list. An empty list tag will be returned if $items is empty.
