PHP - Echoing Form Errors
Hello,
I'm having difficulty learning the most efficient method of echoing error messages on a form. The particular example I'm working on is a registration form which I have had functional but not perfected as of yet. I have been able to make the form work by using die() to kill the process and display a message however I would very much like for it to kill the process and simply echo an error message, same page, no redirects... I will post my code and hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can shed some light. Cheers! Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //This is one error message I would like to display if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] ) { die('You did not complete all of the required fields'); } if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']); } $usercheck = $_POST['username']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$usercheck'") or die(mysql_error()); $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); //if the name already exists it gives an error here if ($check2 != 0) { die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.'); } // this makes sure both passwords entered match and should display an error if false if ($_POST['pass'] != $_POST['pass2']) { die('Your passwords did not match. '); } $_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']); if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['pass'] = addslashes($_POST['pass']); $_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']); } $insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."')"; $add_member = mysql_query($insert); ?> And here is the form it fits into Code: [Select] <?php } else { ?> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"><?php include ("login_header.php") ?></div> <div id="photoNav"><?php include ("mainNav.php") ?></div> <div id="tableContent"> <div class="bold_16" style="margin-top:40px">Enter Your Registration Information Below</div> <div class="padding_top"><div style="padding-top:10px; text-align:center;"> ***THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE MY ERRORS TO DISPLAY*** </div> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <table border="0" align="center"> <tr><td>Username:</td><td> <input name="username" type="text" size="23" maxlength="40"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td><td> <input name="pass" type="password" size="24" maxlength="12"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Confirm Password:</td><td> <input name="pass2" type="password" size="24" maxlength="12"> </td></tr> <tr><th colspan=2 style="text-align:right;"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" style="margin-top:10px;"></th></tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> </div></div> p.s is it just me or is it a real pain getting a message into this text-field?? Similar TutorialsBeen screwing around on Google for about 3 hours trying to find a tutorial on what I am trying to do with absolutely no luck! I am simply trying to get my test script to echo errors from an array when a form criteria does not validate. This is my final revision which is still not working! Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? No matter what I do, I can't get away from this error: Notice: Undefined variable: error in C:\wamp\www\php\form_validation.php on line 13 <?php $o = $error[]; // test echo $o; // test if(!preg_match('/[^0-9A-Za-z]/',$_POST['first_name'])) { $error[] = "Please enter a valid First Name"; ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> First Name:<br /> <input name="first_name" type="text" size="50" maxlength="50" /><br /><br /> <input type="submit" /><br /><br /> </form> Okay, I am having trouble.

Hi, I used to do form validations in a totally different manner before this that aside. I would like to know how can I do something like this. What happens here is if none of the conditions are met I echo a div containing the error and so on. The problem I am facing is If the first condition is not met it goes to the second condition and at the end there are two error divs at the same time. I want to perform something like, if first condition is not met script stops, echos only the div where the condition is not met and the script does not carry on. If i use the die or exit functions it dies and html dies with it any solutions or another way? Code: [Select] if (strlen($title)<=19) { echo "<div id='error'><div id='error_img'><img src='images/warning.gif' width='16' height='16' title='error' /></div> must of be atleast 20 characters. </div>";; } if ($on=="-1") { echo "<div id='error'><div id='error_img'><img src='images/warning.gif' width='16' height='16' title='error' /></div> Please select. </div>"; } any help is appreciated thanks! Hi all, I have a html form list box that needs to show all the types of products that are for sale and have a number in the list box saying how many of that type are for sale. eg. If the mysql database looks like this productType | productDetails chair | outdoor large chair table | 2m x 1m chair | indoor chair chair | childs chair I would want the form list box to show the values inside as: chair (3) table (1) could someone give me the heads up on how to do this Thanks Hi all I have a field in mySQL table called dimensions. It has the double quote in in for inches - " When I echo the result from the mySQL query on the item page (Customer facing) it's fine. However, I have built a form so that the administrator can edit the dimensions in the admin panel and when I echo it out in to the form field it stops when it gets to the double quotes?

It is all working fine and i am receiving the email with the relevant information submitted. But there are few tweeks i would like to make, so it appears more professional. 1. For the validation I have selected it to validate three fields, email, name and message. I have tested it but the error messages are not separated. I mean if only one mistake is made then the error message appears under all three fields. 2. When I receive the email from whoever filled in the form I would like for their email address to be in the 'reply' and 'from' field in my email. I would be very grateful if anybody can help me out on these two problems I am having. Below is the code that i am currently using. (Where the errors occur i place the following code <?php echo $myError; ?> ) The following is my entire php code, which my html form directs to... <?php /* Set e-mail recipient */ $myemail = "myemailaddress@gmail.com"; /* Check all form inputs using check_input function */ $name = check_input($_POST['name'], "Please enter your name"); $subject = "Message from Keeper Website"; $email = check_input($_POST['email'], "Please enter your email address"); $how_find = check_input($_POST['how']); $comments = check_input($_POST['comments'], "Please write your message"); /* If e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email)) { show_error("E-mail address not valid"); } /* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */ $message = "Hello, Your contact form has been submitted by: Name: $name E-mail: $email How did he/she find out about us? $how_find Comments: $comments End of message "; /* Send the message using mail() function */ mail($myemail, $subject, $message); /* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */ header('Location: thanks.html'); exit(); /* Functions we used */ function check_input($data, $problem='') { $data = trim($data); $data = stripslashes($data); $data = htmlspecialchars($data); if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0) { show_error($problem); } return $data; } function show_error($myError) { ?> Many thanks in advance Hello Everybody

Hi Guys, I'm having slight problems with my contact form coding. Ok here goes...when I fill in the information on the contact form and press submit the email is sent not a problem, but I get an error message below the sent proceedure displaying. I've checked and doubled checked the code error area's but but just can not see the problem. you can view the screenshots here http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/screenshot.jpg http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/contact_php.jpg http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/class_mailer.jpg any help on this would be great as I proberly cant see for looking..lol. cheers Hi, i'm a PHP newbie and am working on a contact form which is below. I've just included one field (email) to make things shorter. In practice this works okay but when the page is first displayed it shows the "No Email was entered" error. I know that I need to include something like "if (isset($_POST['submit'])) is true then process the error checking otherwise display the form however I can't seem to find where to put it and spent all weekend on this now, little help? Once i've got this sorted i'll add the other fields and javascript error checking as well. Many thanks Ryan <?php // shortform.php $email = ""; $to = 'myemail@address.co.uk'; $subject = 'Contact form email'; $message = 'please work!'; if (isset($_POST['email'])) $email = fix_string($_POST['email']); $fail = validate_email($email); echo "<html><head><title>Shortform</title>"; if ($fail =="") { echo "</head><body>$email successfully validated: .</body></html>"; mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $email"); exit; } echo <<<_END <table class="contactform" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <th colspan="2" align="center">contactform</th> <tr><td colspan="2">Sorry, the following errors were found<br /> in your form: <p><font color=red size=1><i>$fail</i></font></p> </td></tr> <form method="post" action="shortform.php" onSubmit="return validate(this)"> <tr><td>Email</td><td><input type="text" maxlength="64" name="email" value="$email" /></td> </tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td> </tr></form></table> _END; function validate_email($field) { if ($field == "") return "No Email was entered<br />"; else if (!((strpos($field, ".") > 0) && (strpos($field, "@") > 0)) || preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z0-9.@_-]/", $field)) return "The Email address is invalid<br />"; return ""; } function fix_string($string) { if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $string = stripslashes($string); return htmlentities ($string); } ?> I have a Q&A Form that consists of 10 Questions with input boxes for 10 Answers. (Each Answer is stored in its own record in the "answer" table.) When the Form is submitted, I loop through an answerArray and decide what to do with each Form Field. For example, if there is a new Answer, then I create a new record by doing an INSERT, but if the Answer is a change, then I do an UPDATE on an existing record. Following my previous coding style, I assign a Results Code for *every* possible thing that can happen in *every* code branch, e.g. Code: [Select] $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_NO_CHANGES_2138'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_UPDATE_SUCCEEDED_2139'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_UPDATE_FAILED_2140'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_INSERT_SUCCEEDED_2141'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_INSERT_FAILED_2142'; The problem is that - as my code currently stands - I only end up displaying a resultsCode for the LAST QUESTION, because the first 9 are overwritten?! Should I keep my current structure, and quit on an Errors, and display a page with that error (e.g. Update Failed), and then just comment out the Succeed messages? Or do I get fancy and store each Success or Error in an array and display the outcome for all 10 Questions after the Form is processed? In the past all of this was easy, because ONE FORM equated to ONE RECORD, so Error Messages were easier to display. But here, I have ONE FORM and up to 10 RECORDS?! Hope this is making sense? Thanks, Debbie Hello. I have a basic form and I want to check for errors by making sure the user inputs everything, if not an error explaining to the user what needs to be fixed. (very common on all forms) When I use echo in my script, it displays at the top of my browser. How do I put the error codes right beside my form elements? I currently don't have all the error checking included but I want to get a few sorted out before anything else. Form Page: http://www.fusionfashionhair.com/registration.php My PHP Code all above DOCTYPE in the php file.

My form requires a NAME and a SERIAL to be inputted and the SERIAL must be all numbers. I tested the validator by leaving NAME blank in my form and SERIAL all letters. The dispalyed resutls show the correct error messages: "Name : Please fill in a name for this computer." and "Serial : Please fill in a serial number for this computer." But the entry is still submitted with the errors and all. Here is my validator script. It begins by calling the script I got online which is from this website: http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-form-validation.html <?PHP require_once "formvalidator.php"; $validator = new FormValidator(); $validator->addValidation("Name","req","Please fill in a name for this computer."): $validator->addValidation("Serial","req","Please fill in a serial number for this computer"); $validator->addValidation("Serial","num","Serial number must be only numeric values"); if($validator->ValidateForm()) { echo "<h2>Validation Success!</h2>"; } else { echo "<B>Validation Errors:</B>"; $error_hash = $validator->GetErrors(); foreach($error_hash as $inpname => $inp_err) { echo "<p>$inpname : $inp_err</p>\n"; } } } ?> I have a html for that posts to a form processing script which is fully functional atm, in the processing script i have if statements, if the condition is met it updates tables in database, if there not met i echo a "not met" statment. problem is my form processing script just goes straight back to the index.php page using the following code; header('Location: index.php'); here is the form processing script: <?php session_start(); header('Location: index.php'); include "connect.php"; $id = $_SESSION['id']; $user = $_SESSION['user']; $ticketNumber = $_POST[ticketNumber]; //echo $_POST[ticketNumber]; $today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time() - 3600); // Query "Ticket" Table to check if user has purchased a "regular" ticket within the last 24 hours $query24hour = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tickets WHERE username = '$user' AND HOUR(TIMEDIFF(NOW() , purchaseDate)) < 24;") or die(mysql_error()); // Query "promoTickets" table to grab information of previous tickets bought to the "promotional" auction and LIMIT tickets to 1 per user for "promotional" auctions. $querySold = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM promoTickets WHERE promoID='$_POST[promoID]' AND (ticketNumber='$ticketNumber' OR username = '$user');") or die(mysql_error()); //echo $querySold; $sold = mysql_fetch_assoc($querySold); //print_r($sold); //echo $sold; //echo query24hour; $querycount24hour = mysql_num_rows($query24hour); //echo $querycount24hour; //check if ticket is sold and if user has purchased a "regular" ticket within 24 hours if(empty($sold)!=FALSE and $querycount24hour >= 1){ //Checks users balance to see if they have enough for the ticket $queryBal = mysql_query("SELECT user_iskbalance FROM users WHERE username = '$user';") or die(mysql_error()); //echo $querySold; //echo $user; //echo $queryBal; $balArray = mysql_fetch_assoc($queryBal); $bal = $balArray[user_iskbalance]; $newBal = $bal-$_POST[ticketPrice]; //check if he has the money to buy the ticket if($bal>=$_POST[ticketPrice]){ //remove the money $queryBalRemoveal = mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `user_iskbalance`='$newBal' WHERE `username`='$user';") or die(mysql_error()); //buy ticket & insert data into "promoTickets" table $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO promoTickets(promoID, username, charID, ticketNumber, ticketPrice, purchaseDate) VALUES ('$_POST[promoID]', '$user', '$id', '$_POST[ticketNumber]', '$_POST[ticketPrice]', '$today');") or die(mysql_error()); } else{ die("Insufficent balance. Please add more ISK") ; } } else{ die("Ticket has already been Sold or you have already bought a ticket to this promotion..!"); } ?> any way i can get the errors to be passed onto the index.php (with the form) and echo them there? as it stands errors arnt shown to the users and its confusing people I built a basic form with certain fields required. When a required field isn't filled, the errors are echoed but not in the best area. I'd like for each error message to be displayed underneath their respected input fields. What do I need to look into? <?php if(!empty($_POST['submit'])) { // set variables $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); $email2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email2']); $age = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['age']); $city = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['city']); $state = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['state']); // 1A.

When one of the fields isn't filled out, the error message for that specific input area is displayed, etc. However, all the information from the form that the user filled out is removed.. I want the user to be able to fill out the form, hit submit, and if any errors, show the specific error but also keep the input boxes populated with the data the user filled out so he/she does not have to re type everything. if(!empty($_POST['submitFeature'])) { // set variables $featurename = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['featurename']); $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); $email2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email2']); $age = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['age']); $city = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['city']); $state = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['state']); $src = $_FILES['featureupload']['tmp_name']; $featuresize = $_FILES['featureupload']['size']; $limitsize = 3000000; if(!empty($featurename) && !empty($name) && !empty($email) && !empty($email2) && !empty($city) && !empty($state) && ($email == $email2) && !empty($_FILES['featureupload']['tmp_name']) && ($featuresize < $limitsize)) { // IF ALL IS CORRECT, SUBMIT INFO } else { print ' <ul class="errorlist"> <li class="alert">Please fill out the required fields.</li> '; if (empty($name)) { echo ' <li>* Full Name</li>' .
