DateInput PHP Class Overview

The Kendo UI DateInput for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI DateInput widget.

Getting Started

Configuration

Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI DateInput for PHP.

Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for PHP—include the autoloader, JavaScript, and CSS files.

Step 2 Create a DateInput.

    <?php
    $dateinput = new \Kendo\UI\DateInput('dateinput');
    $dateinput->value(new DateTime('today', new DateTimeZone('UTC')));
    ?>

Step 3 Output the DateInput by echoing the result of the render method.

    <?php
    echo $dateinput->render();
    ?>

Event Handling

You can subscribe to all DateInput events.

Specify Function Names

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe for events by specifying a JavaScript function name.

    <?php
    $dateinput = new \Kendo\UI\DateInput('dateinput');

    // The 'dateinput_change' JavaScript function will handle the 'change' event of the dateinput
    $dateinput->change('dateinput_change');

    echo $dateinput->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    function dateinput_change() {
        // Handle the change event
    }
    </script>

Provide Inline Code

The example below demonstrates how to subscribe to events by providing inline JavaScript code.

    <?php
    $dateinput = new \Kendo\UI\DateInput('dateinput');

    // Provide inline JavaScript code that will handle the 'change' event of the dateinput
    $dateinput->change('function() { /* Handle the change event */ }');

    echo $dateinput->render();
    ?>

Reference

Client-Side Instances

You are able to reference an existing DateInput instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, use the DateInput API to control its behavior.

    <?php
    $dateinput = new \Kendo\UI\DateInput('dateinput');
    echo $dateinput->render();
    ?>
    <script>
    $(function() {
        // The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the dateinput
        var dateinput = $("#dateinput").data("kendoDateInput")
    });
    </script>
