Defining an interval for minutes

Published on April 04, 2008 and tagged with cakephp  helper

Just noticed that you can define an interval for minutes when using the form helper (up to now I used my own little helper to accomplish this).

In the following example I use an interval of 15 minutes, i.e. the generated select box for the minutes only contains the values “00″, “15″, “30″, and “45″:

echo $form->input('start', array('type' => 'time', 'interval' => 15));

The default interval is one minute, but from the user’s point of view it is not that user-friendly to have a select box with 60 values, so I recommend to specify a different interval as shown above.
