PHP - Checking For Blank Fields

Below I am checking a user level and if they are  level one they see some of the form, and if level two they see additional options.

What they have already filled out is to show in the text field. Before I was doing the user level check it worked fine. Even now if something is put in a field it saves in the DB but it will not show in the fields on the form.

// Everyone sees
          <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['FieldA']; ?>">
          </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['FieldB']; ?>">
          </tr>
// Check if level two and display if they are.
    <?php }
if (checkUser()) {
?>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['num1']; ?>">
          </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['num2']; ?>">
          </tr>
        <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['num3']; ?>">
          </tr>

     <?php } ?>
// Additional things everyone sees even level one.
        <tr>
            <td><input name="" type="text" id="" value="<?php echo $row_settings['num4']; ?>">
          </tr>
          <tr>

So even <?php echo $row_settings['num4']; ?> will not show/work after the <?php } ?>

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance everyone.

As expected when a die statement is triggered, my script is exited and ALL of the fields that have been filled in on my form are wiped clean. 
This however is proving to be annoying for users making mistakes. 
Is there a way to keep the data in the correctly filled in fields, and to just wipe or highlight the incorrectly filled in fields?

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script that finds the blank $_POST values and add them to a $blank_array.

All I get is a blank page - any ideas?

Also is there some code I can put at the top of every php page to show exactly what the errors are? - I have tried a few scripts but have not found one to work universally.


include("cxn.php");

$reg = "G-".strtoupper($_POST['reg']);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM sales WHERE reg='$reg'";
$result = mysqli_query($cxn,$sql)
or die ("Couldn't execute query");

$num = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if ($num >0) // Listing Already Found 
{
echo "The aircraft '$reg' is already listed!";
echo $_SESSION['logname'];
}

foreach ($_POST as $value)
{
if ($value == "")
{
$blank_array[] = $field;
}
if (@sizeof($blank_array) > 0) // blank fields are found 
{
$error = "Please fill in all the form.<br>";
include ("../sell-your-reg.php");
}
}
?>

Hi guys! New to the community and hope to learn a lot here!

Here is some background info and what I want to do, and what I know.

I have been building websites for years, and I am familiar with Actionscript 3.0. And I have successful ran a few wordpress websites. What I am trying to do right now however is modify this form script I found, to only email the data when the field isn't left blank. It's stumping me because the actual "message" that ends up being the body of the email is a variable. And form what I can tell I can't figure out how to put if statements into it. If anyone can take a look at this script and give me any pointers you would be awesome.

HI,

I have a user form on a modal.

The user can be updated from this modal but on the second tab is where the users password can be updated.

The update button commits all changes including the password update.

If the New Password field is blank i do not want it to be updated.

I am using a prepared statement and am not sure how to ommit a field if it is blank.

In actual fact there is a new password and a confirm password field which must be the same before the password field is updated.

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
	$uid = $_POST['UM-uid'];
	$fname = $_POST['UM-firstName'];
	$lname = $_POST['UM-lastName'];
	$email = $_POST['UM-emailAddress'];
	$accountlevel = $_POST['UM-accountLevelId'];
	$mobile = $_POST['UM-mobileNumber'];
	$roleid = $_POST['UM-roleId'];
	$newpass = password_hash($_POST['UM-pass'], PASSWORD_DEFAULT);


	if(!empty($_POST['UM-firstName'])){
		// prepare stmt
		$stmt = $conn->prepare("
			UPDATE ssm_user 
			SET 
			user_password=?,
			user_email=?,
			user_firstname=?,
			user_lastname=?,
			user_account_level_id=?,
			user_mobile=?,
			user_role_id=?
			WHERE user_id = ?
			");

		$stmt->bind_param('sssssssi', $newpass, $email, $fname, $lname, $accountlevel, $mobile, $roleid, $uid);
    	$stmt->execute();
    	$_SESSION['user']=$fname." ".$lname;
    	$_SESSION['updateUser']="has been successfully updated";
    	$_SESSION['actionstatus']="success";

I am sure i will be able to work out the password confirmation part, its just the omitting password from being part of the update if blank.

How can I get it so that if a user presses the space bar in a field, then the trim function sees that there's no white space and then this gets added to the error log?

Any help is appreciated!

Hey guys,   Thank you in advance... here is my situation, I have a form with three (3) fields in it, the 'student name' is unlimited textfield with an "add more" button to it and I have two select fields ('number of shirts' and 'trophies') that depend on the number of entries for 'student name'...   I want to create the select fields based on this math, for as many 'student name' entries:   1- i want to have the select form for 'number of shirts' to be 0 up to that number... so if there are 6 'student name' entries, the select options will be 0,1,3,4,5,6,7 2- I want to have the select form for 'trophies' to be 5 'student name' entries to 1 'trophies', for example if there are 6 'student name' entries, the select options will be 0,1... if there are 13 entries, options will be 0,1,2... So if there are less than 5 'student name' entries, the select field will not show (hidden)   of course if there are no 'student name' entries, these two fields won't show up (hidden)   let me know if that make sense and ANY help or directions will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.   Thanks guys!  

I need to query a database for a starting time for a meeting, and if the start time is at 7pm, I need to allow access to a page from 6pm til 11pm.  Not a problem.

The problem lies when the ending time (4 hours after the start time) crosses over to a new day.

Here's what I have:

Code: [Select]
<?php
elseif ($row['meeting'] == "7:00pm") { $starthour = 18; $endhour = 23; }
elseif ($row['meeting'] == "8:00pm") { $starthour = 19; $endhour = 0; }

if ($thishour <= $endhour && $thishour >= $starthour)
{  include "meeting_ok.php"; }
else { echo "Meeting room is unavailable at this time...."; }
?>


The "0" for endhour is throwing things off.  How should I best account for a new day?

Thanks!

Hey

In my spare time, I am working on my PHP framework.
Now, to help with development and quickly discover where I miss a type cast, I have adopted to check all parameters that are passed to a method using a function.

For instance:

            public function __construct(&$target = null, $depth = 1){
            $this->validateArguments(
                array(1 => 'int'),
                array(1 => $depth)
            );



And the code that triggers the exception:
        public function testPhpFreakType(){
            $obj = 1;
            $p = new Xcms_DataStructures_Pointer($obj, "1");
        }


Code: [Select]

I think this speeds up my development quite a bit, because I can catch errors very early in the development process.
I can give multipe possibilities of what is allowed for each parameter, not just a single possibility. Also, it is possible to register custom type/validity-checks on both global and local scope.

One thing I do worry about, however, is the the performance. Of course, I could just make the funciton do nothing in production code, if it takes too much time, or I could write a script to remove all calls to that function.

When I started learning python a while back, the concept to just code to interfaces instead of types seemed very intuitive and made my code much more flexible. Of course that is what I do with PHP as well, but I it's not entirely the same. So now, coming back at my PHP code and having introduced features of static languages such as type checking, I worry about whether that is the right approach.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Okay I need some help.
I want to check a MySQL DB and then if it says 0 then don't do anything if it says anything else echo out what's there.
I have tried for about a hour now.

can somebody please tel me how to make sure a field is a number?  I have some error checking like


if(empty($postcode))    {        
$errors[] = "Please enter your postcode"; 
}
if(strlen($tel)<11)    {        
$errors[] = "Please enter a phone number that is the correct length";    
} 



But I dont know and cant find how to check for a number only.

Hi friends
I have following code

Code: [Select]
function UseOfSSL($domain_name) {
   
$site = ($domain_name);
$port = 443;

$fp = fsockopen($site,$port,$errno,$errstr,10);
if(!$fp)
{
echo "Not Installed";
}

else{
echo "Yes, it is installed";
fclose($fp);
}

If domain name from $domain_name has installed SSL, it will show it is installed else not installed.

Problem is that I tried this with both types of sites, those who are using SSL and those who are not and always, it says Yes, it is installed.
443 is used because https uses port 443
What is the cause ?

$characterIDs = explode(',', $_POST['characterIDList']);

After the explode I want to take all those values and do a select statement in a database table for any of the values that match any of the values inside that variable variable. Not sure how to do this since there is no limit to how may there could be.

I coded small funny script
I tested it in three hosting

ww.rufaa.net
dallawat.com/new
ibuj.org

but I don't know why in the first link, my script seem slow
not like the other second and third links

So basically I have a site, and on that site, I have a page that submits a form and updates a database. I have it set up so that someone can enter in Multiple values into a textarea, one on each line, and it will submit each of those values as a new row in the database, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to check those values against the actual users.

It is basically a point system, where the staff can award points users of the site. But at the moment, a Staff member could enter in Jibberish, and it would insert that into the database, but I want it to check my users table to make sure the user exists before it inserts it into the database.

here is my code:
<?php
include 'global.php';

echo $headersidebar;


if ($_COOKIE['access'] == $accessstaff)
{





if(count($_POST))
{



$array = preg_split('/(\r?\n)+/', $_POST['studentname']);
foreach($array as $students)
   {
   
   $statusmsg = '<center><span style="background: #A6FF9E;">You have successfully submitted points to the database.</span></center>';
   
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO points (giver, receiver, points, category, reason, date, status) VALUES ('{$_COOKIE['username']}', '{$students}', '{$_POST['pointamt']}', '{$_POST['pointcat']}', '{$_POST['pointreason']}', '{$date}', 'Validating')");
   }
}


$addpointspage = $statusmsg . '

I am fairly new to PHP, so I would appreciate any help someone could give me; I am not too good with arrays and such, so this one has got me stumped.
