Solar_Form::getElementsByType()

[solarphp]

This is a simple addition to Solar_Form: the ability to get a group of element infos by type. I use it to get the hidden elements from a form and although it can be implemented anywhere else, I think Solar_Form could offer such utility. :-)

/**
 * 
 * Returns all elements of a certain type.
 *
 * @param string $type The element type.
 * 
 * @return array List of elements.
 * 
 */
public function getElementsByType($type)
{
    $list = array();

    foreach ($this->elements as $name => $elem) {
        if($elem['type'] == $type) {
            $list[$name] = $elem;
        }
    }

    return $list;
}
