Synopsis

require_once 'HTML/QuickForm/Controller.php';

array &HTML_QuickForm_Controller::container ([bool $reset = FALSE])

Description

    'defaults'  => array(... default form values ...),
    'constants' => array(... constant form values ...),
    'values'    => array(
        'page1' => array(... submitted values for this page ...),
        ...
        'pageN' => array(... submitted values for this page ...)
    ),
    'valid'     => array(
        'page1' => null if the page was never validated, true if valid, false otherwise
        ...
        'pageN' => null if the page was never validated, true if valid, false otherwise
    )
)
