=item new Form([$argstr])

Returns a reference to new Form object.  The initial set of attributes is
obtained from $argstr, a CGI query string, or $ARGV[0].  All the values are
run through unescape to undo any URI encoding.

The version and dbversion attributes are set to hardcoded values; action,
nextsub, path, script, and login are filtered to remove some dangerous values.
Both menubar and lynx are set if path matches lynx.

$form->error may be called to deny access on some attribute values.

=item $form->escape($str[, $beenthere]);

Returns the URI-encoded $str.  $beenthere is a boolean that when true forces a
single encoding run.  When false, it escapes the string twice if it detects
that it is running on a version of Apache 2.0 earlier than 2.0.44.

Note that recurring transaction support depends on this function escaping ','.

=item $form->hide_form([...]);

Outputs hidden HTML form fields to STDOUT.  If values are passed into this
function, only those $form values are output.  If no values are passed in, all
$form values are output as well as deleting $form->{header}.  Values from the
$form object are run through $form->quote, whereas keys/names are not.

Sample output:

 <input type="hidden" name="login" value="testuser" />

=cut

              . qq|" />\n|;
        }
    }
}


=item $form->error($msg);

Output an error message, $msg.  If a CGI environment is detected, this outputs
an HTTP and HTML header section if required, and displays the message after
running it through $form->format_string.  If it is not a CGI environment and
$ENV{error_function} is set, call the specified function with $msg as the sole
argument.  Otherwise, this function simply dies with $msg.

This function does not return.  Execution is terminated at the end of the
appropriate path.

=cut

    my ( $self, $msg ) = @_;

    if ( $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} ) {

        }
        die "Error: $msg\n";
    }
}

=item $form->info($msg);

Output an informational message, $msg.  If a CGI environment is detected, this
outputs an HTTP and HTML header section if required, and displays the message
in bold tags without escaping.  If it is not a CGI environment and 
$ENV{info_function} is set, call the specified function with $msg as the sole
argument.  Otherwise, this function simply prints $msg to STDOUT.

=cut

sub info {
    my ( $self, $msg ) = @_;

    if ( $ENV{GATEWAY_INTERFACE} ) {
        $msg =~ s/\n/<br>/g;

        delete $self->{pre};

        }

        print "<b>$msg</b>";

    }
    else {

            print "$msg\n";
        }
    }
}

=item $form->numtextrows($str, $cols[, $maxrows]);

Returns the number of rows of $cols columns can be formed by $str.  If $maxrows
is set and the number of rows is greater than $maxrows, this returns $maxrows.
In the determination of rowcount, newline characters, "\n", are taken into
account while spaces are not.

=cut

sub numtextrows {

    my ( $self, $str, $cols, $maxrows ) = @_;

    my $rows = 0;

    for ( split /\n/, $str ) {
        $rows += int( ( (length) - 2 ) / $cols ) + 1;
    }

    $maxrows = $rows unless defined $maxrows;

    return ( $rows > $maxrows ) ? $maxrows : $rows;

}

=item $form->dberror($msg);

Outputs a message as in $form->error but with $DBI::errstr automatically
appended to $msg.

=cut

sub dberror {
    my ( $self, $msg ) = @_;
    $self->error( "$msg\n" . $DBI::errstr );
}

=item $form->isblank($name, $msg);

Calls $form->error($msg) if the value of $form->{$name} matches /^\s*$/.

=cut

sub isblank {
    my ( $self, $name, $msg ) = @_;
    $self->error($msg) if $self->{$name} =~ /^\s*$/;
}

=item $form->header([$init, $headeradd]);

Outputs HTML and HTTP headers and sets $form->{header} to indicate that headers
have been output.  If called with $form->{header} set or in a non-CGI
environment, does not output anything.  $init is ignored.  $headeradd is data
to be added to the <head> portion of the output headers.  $form->{stylesheet},
$form->{title}, $form->{titlebar}, and $form->{pre} all affect the output of
this function.

If the stylesheet indicated by $form->{stylesheet} exists, output a link tag
to reference it.  If $form->{title} is false, the title text is the value of
$form->{titlebar}.  If $form->{title} is true, the title text takes the form of
"$form->{title} - $form->{titlebar}".  The value of $form->{pre} is output 
immediately after the closing of <head>.

=cut

sub header {

    my ( $self, $init, $headeradd ) = @_;

    return if $self->{header};

    my ( $stylesheet, $favicon, $charset );

        $self->{titlebar} =
          ( $self->{title} )
          ? "$self->{title} - $self->{titlebar}"
          : $self->{titlebar};

        print qq|Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8\n\n

    }

    $self->{header} = 1;
}

=item $form->redirect([$msg]);

If $form->{callback} is set or $msg is not set, call the redirect function in
common.pl.  If main::redirect returns, exit.

Otherwise, output $msg as an informational message with $form->info($msg).

=cut

sub redirect {

    my ( $self, $msg ) = @_;

    if ( $self->{callback} || !$msg ) {

        main::redirect();
	exit;
    }
    else {

        $self->info($msg);
    }
}

=item $form->sort_columns(@columns);

Sorts the list @columns.  If $form->{sort} is unset, do nothing.  If the value
of $form->{sort} does not exist in @columns, returns the list formed by the
value of $form->{sort} followed by the values of @columns.  If the value of
$form->{sort} is in @columns, return the list formed by @columns with the value
of $form->{sort} moved to the head of the list.

=cut

sub sort_columns {

    my ( $self, @columns ) = @_;

    if ( $self->{sort} ) {
        $self->{sort} =~ s/^"*(.*?)"*$/$1/;

            if ($self->{sort} !~ /^\w*$/){
                $self->{sort} = $self->{dbh}->quote_identifier($self->{sort});
            }
            splice @columns, 0, 0, $self->{sort};
        }
    }

    @columns;
}

=item $form->sort_order($columns[, $ordinal]);

Returns a string that contains ordering details for the columns in SQL form.
$columns is a reference to a list of columns, $ordinal is a reference to a hash
that maps column names to ordinal positions.  This function depends upon the
values of $form->{direction}, $form->{sort}, and $form->{oldsort}.

If $form->{direction} is false, it becomes 'ASC'.  If $form->{direction} is true
and $form->{sort} and $form->{oldsort} are equal, reverse the order specified by
$form->{direction}.  $form->{oldsort} is set to the same value as $form->{sort}

The actual sorting of $columns happens as in $form->sort_columns(@$columns).

If $ordinal is set, the positions given by it are substituted for the names of
columns returned.

=cut

sub sort_order {

    my ( $self, $columns, $ordinal ) = @_;

    # setup direction
    if ( $self->{direction} ) {

        if ( $self->{sort} eq $self->{oldsort} ) {

            }
            else {

            }
        }

    }
    else {

        $self->{direction} = "ASC";
    }

    $self->{oldsort} = $self->{sort};

    my @a = $self->sort_columns( @{$columns} );

    if (ref $ordinal eq 'HASH') {
        $a[0] =
          ( $ordinal->{ $a[$_] } )
          ? "$ordinal->{$a[0]} $self->{direction}"
          : "$a[0] $self->{direction}";

        for ( 1 .. $#a ) {
            $a[$_] = $ordinal->{ $a[$_] } if $ordinal->{ $a[$_] };
        }

    }
    else {
        $a[0] .= " $self->{direction}";
    }

    my $sortorder = join ',', @a;
    $sortorder;
}

=item $form->format_amount($myconfig, $amount, $places, $dash);

Returns $amount as formatted in the form specified by $form->{numberformat}.
$places is the number of decimal places to have in the output.  $dash indicates
how to represent conditions surrounding values.

 +-------+----------+---------+------+
 | $dash | -1.00    | 1.00    | 0.00 |
 +-------+----------+---------+------+
 |   -   | (1.00)   | 1.00    |   -  |

=item $form->create_links($module, $myconfig, $vc[, $job]);

Populates the hash referred to as $form->{${module}_links} details about
accounts that have $module in their link field.  The hash is keyed upon link
elements such as 'AP_amount' and 'AR_tax' and they refer to lists of hashes
containing accno and description for the appropriate accounts.  If the key does
not contain 'tax', the account number is appended to the space seperated list
$form->{accounts}.  $module is typically 'AR' or 'AP' and is the base type of
the accounts looked up.

If $form->{id} is not set, check $form->{"$form->{vc}_id"}.  If neither is set,
use $form->lastname_used to populate the details.  If $form->{id} is set,
populate the invnumber, transdate, ${vc}_id, datepaid, duedate, ordnumber,
taxincluded, currency, notes, intnotes, ${vc}, department_id, department,
oldinvtotal, oldtotalpaid, employee_id, employee, language_code, ponumber, 
reverse, printed, emailed, queued, recurring, exchangerate, and acc_trans
attributes of $form with details about the transaction $form->{id}.  All of
these attributes, save for acc_trans, are scalar; $form->{acc_trans} refers to
a hash keyed by link elements whose values are lists of references to hashes
describing acc_trans table entries corresponding to the transaction $form->{id}.
The elements in the acc_trans entry hashes are accno, description, source,
amount, memo, transdate, cleared, project_id, projectnumber, and exchangerate.

The closedto, revtrans, and currencies $form attributes are filled with values
from the defaults table, while $form->{current_date} is populated with the
current date.  If $form->{id} is not set, then $form->{transdate} also takes on
the current date.

After all this, it calls $form->all_vc to conclude.

=item $form->save_recurring($dbh2, $myconfig);

Saves or deletes recurring transaction scheduling.  $form->{id} is used to
determine the id used in the various recurring tables.  A recurring transaction
schedule is deleted by having $form->{recurring} be false.  For adding or
updating a schedule, $form->{recurring} is a comma seperated field with partial
subfield quoting of the form:

  reference,startdate,repeat,unit,howmany,payment,print,email,message
       text      date    int text     int     int  text  text    text

=over

=item reference

A URI-encoded reference string for the recurrence set.

=item startdate

The index date for the recurrence.

=item repeat

The unitless repetition frequency.

=item unit

The interval unit used.  Can be 'days', 'weeks', 'months', or 'years',
capitalisation and pluralisation ignored.

=item howmany

The number of recurrences for the transaction.

=item payment

Flag to indicate if a payment is included in the transaction.

=item print

A colon seperated list of formname:format:printer triplets.

=item email

A colon seperated list of formname:format pairs.

=item message

A URI-encoded message for the emails to be sent.

=back

Values for the nextdate and enddate columns of the recurring table are
calculated using startdate, repeat, unit, howmany, and the current database
date.  All other fields of the recurring, recurringemail, and recurringprint are
obtained directly from $form->{recurring}.

B<WARNING>: This function does not check the validity of most subfields of
$form->{recurring}.

$dbh2 is not used.

Updates the defaults entry for the setting $fld following rules specified by
the existing value and returns the processed value that results.  If $form is
false, such as the case when invoked as "Form::update_defaults('',...)", $dbh is
used as the handle.  When $form is set, it uses $form->{dbh}, initialising the
connection if it does not yet exist.  The entry $fld must exist prior to
executing this function and this update function does not handle the general
case of updating the defaults table.

B<NOTE>: rules handling is currently broken.

Rules followed by this function's processing:

=over

=item *

If digits are found in the field, increment the left-most set.  This change,
unlike the others is reflected in the UPDATE.

=item *

Replace <?lsmb date ?> with the date specified in $form->{transdate} formatted
as $myconfig->{dateformat}.

=item *

Replace <?lsmb curr ?> with the value of $form->{currency}

=item $form->audittrail($dbh, $myconfig, $audittrail);

$audittrail is a hashref.  If $audittrail->{id} is false, this function
retrieves the current time from the database and return a string of the form 
"tablename|reference|formname|action|timestamp|" where all the values save
timestamp are taken directly from the $audittrail hashref.

If $audittrail->{id} is true but the value of audittrail in the defaults table
is '0', do nothing and return.

If $form->{audittrail} is true and $myconfig is false, $form->{audittrail} is
treated as a pipe seperated list (trailing pipe required) of the form:
  table1|ref1|form1|action1|date1|...|tablen|refn|formn|actionn|daten|

All the entries described by $form->{audittrail} are inserted into the audit
table, taking on a transaction id of $audittrail->{id} and the employee id of
the calling user.

Irrespective of $form->{audittrail} and $myconfig status, this function will add
a record to the audittrail using the values contained within $audittrail,
substituting the current date if $audittrail->{transdate} is not set and the
employee id of the calling user.
