Question

Is there a simple way to declare CSS classes for Symfony form labels?

This doesn’t work:

<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel('class' => 'my-css') ?>

Found this and it works but it feels counter-intuitive, as it makes the form labels themselves obsolete by requiring the label to be written out in the template:

<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel('This is a label text', array('class' => 'my-css') ?>

Anyone know a better way?

Thanks

Passing in null to the first parameter won’t override the label text:

<?php echo $form['email']->renderLabel(null, array('class' => 'my-css')) ?>

$label The label name (not null to override the current value)
