ZF2 form element description - zend-form

Question

in ZF1 form and form elements had a setDescription method that was outputted as <p>description here</p> in view ....
ZF2 seems that doesn't have this method
so my question is how can i add description to form elements ?
this is my view :
<div>
<?
$form = $this->form;
$form->prepare();
echo $this->form()->openTag($form);
foreach ($form->getElements() as $el) {
?>
<div class="form_element">
<?=$this->formRow($el);?>
</div>
<?
}
echo $this->partial('system/form/buttons_form_part.phtml', array('form' => $form));
echo $this->form()->closeTag();
?>
</div>

Answer 1

Using ZF 2.1.5, one solution might be setOptions().
In the form definiton:
$file = new Element\File('file');
$file->setLabel('Photo (.jpg, .gif, .png)');
$file->setOptions(array('description' => 'test description'));
…
When rendering the form element:
$element = $form->get(…);
var_dump($element->getOptions());
Will give you access to:
array(1) { ["description"]=> string(16) "test description" }

Answer 2

If you mean a label for an Element you can use the setLabel method when you create the form (in Controller).
$name = new Element('name');
$name->setLabel('Your name');
Or if you use an array to create your form elements use this:
array(
'spec' => array(
'name' => 'name',
'options' => array(
'label' => 'Your name',
),
'attributes' => array(
'type' => 'text'
),
)
),
