DatePicker PHP Class Overview
The Kendo UI DatePicker for PHP is a server-side wrapper for the Kendo UI DatePicker widget.
Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI DatePicker 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 DatePicker.
<?php
$datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');
$datepicker->min(new DateTime('1900-01-01'))
->max(new DateTime('2099-12-31'))
->value(new DateTime('today', new DateTimeZone('UTC')));
?>
Step 3 Output the DatePicker by echoing the result of the render method.
<?php
echo $datepicker->render();
?>
Event Handling
You can subscribe to all DatePicker events.
Specify Function Names
The example below demonstrates how to subscribe for events by specifying a JavaScript function name.
<?php
$datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');
// The 'datepicker_change' JavaScript function will handle the 'change' event of the datepicker
$datepicker->change('datepicker_change');
echo $datepicker->render();
?>
<script>
function datepicker_change() {
// Handle the change event
}
</script>
Provide Inline Code
The example below demonstrates how to subscribe to events by providing inline JavaScript code.
<?php
$datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');
// Provide inline JavaScript code that will handle the 'change' event of the datepicker
$datepicker->change('function() { /* Handle the change event */ }');
echo $datepicker->render();
?>
Reference
Client-Side Instances
You are able to reference an existing DatePicker instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, use the DatePicker API to control its behavior.
<?php
$datepicker = new \Kendo\UI\DatePicker('datepicker');
echo $datepicker->render();
?>
<script>
$(function() {
// The constructor parameter is used as the 'id' HTML attribute of the datepicker
var datepicker = $("#datepicker").data("kendoDatePicker")
});
</script>
