Yii2 How to create your own custom form?

Question

Yii

Good afternoon, tell me please. How can I drag my form onto an Active Form widget?
For example :

<div class="payment-input">
       <span>Номер телефона</span>
       <input type="text" value="+7 (***) ***-**-**" class="p-phone" />
</div>

I can't figure out how to bring the ActiveForm to my view. And if you refuse the widget, then how to prescribe your fields so that they get into the form model and are subsequently validated? If possible with an example, otherwise I'm a military man, I need it loudly and three times: D

Answer 1

Use the helpers Html::activeTextField, Html::activeCheckbox, etc., and do the layout of the form yourself.
