I am using ZF2 and have a form which defines a bunch of elements, and then I render it in my phtml like this:
<?php
$form = $this->form;
$form->prepare();
echo $this->form()->openTag($form);
echo $this->formlabel($form->get('description'));
echo $this->formRow($form->get('radioButton'));
echo $this->form()->closeTag();
?>
Which draws a label and a radio button.
My question is how can I then format these elements to my liking? For example make the radio buttons displayed horizontally rather than vertically and maybe change the location of the label.
There's nothing stopping you from formatting them as you have there, you could put the elements inside a list, or andd any additional markup you want to style as you wish.
<?php
$form = $this->form;
$form->prepare();
echo $this->form()->openTag($form);
?>
<ul class="form-list">
<li>
<div class="form-control">
<?php echo $this->formlabel($form->get('description')); ?>
<?php echo $this->formElementErrors($form->get('description')) ?>
<?php echo $this->formElement($form->get('description')); ?>
</div>
<div class="form-control">
<?php echo $this->formlabel($form->get('radioButton')); ?>
<?php echo $this->formElementErrors($form->get('radioButton')) ?>
<?php echo $this->formElement($form->get('radioButton')); ?>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<?php echo $this->form()->closeTag() ?>
If you wanted to have control over the actual elements/inputs themselves you could do something like this:
<label>
<?php echo $form->get('radioButton')->getLabel() ?>
<input class="bob" type="radio"
name="<?php echo $form->get('radioButton')->getName() ?>"
value="<?php echo $form->get('radioButton')->getValue() ?>"
/>
</label>
