PHP - Issue Regarding A Form Validation
I want to submit data of my student registration form to the database. If an admission number already exists, a message should be displayed like this.
"Admission number2012/1..This student has been already entered to the system." I have created the below coding which fulfill the above task. But i want slight modification, rather than displaying the message in a seperate field after entering all the fields i want the message to display soon after entering the "Admission Number" in my form. newStudentRegistrationFormValidation.php Code: [Select] <?php $admission_no=$_POST['admission_no']; $admission_date=$_POST['admission_date']; $full_name=$_POST['full_name']; $name_with_initial=$_POST['name_with_initial']; $date_of_birth=$_POST['date_of_birth']; $religion=$_POST['religion']; //$gender=$_POST['gender']; $address=$_POST['address']; $telephone=$_POST['telephone']; $grade_on_admission=$_POST['grade_on_admission']; $grade_ID=$_POST['grade_ID']; $stream_ID=isset($_POST['stream_ID']); $class_ID=$_POST['class_ID']; $student_house=$_POST['student_house']; $password=$_POST['password']; $description_about_st=$_POST['description_about_st']; $payment=$_POST["payment"]; $currentdate=getdate(time()); $year=$currentdate["year"]; //admission number validation $con=mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); mysql_select_db("student_management",$con); $query="SELECT admission_no FROM student_info Where student_info.admission_no='$admission_no'"; $result=mysql_query($query) ; $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result); echo $num_rows; if($num_rows >= 0) { header("location:student registrationDatabase.php?admission_no=".urlencode($admission_no)."&year=".urlencode($year)."&admission_date=".urlencode($admission_date)."&full_name=".urlencode($full_name)."&name_with_initial=".urlencode($name_with_initial)."&date_of_birth=".urlencode($date_of_birth)."&religion=".urlencode($religion)."&address=".urlencode($address)."&telephone=".urlencode($telephone)."&grade_on_admission=".urlencode($grade_on_admission)."&grade_ID=".urlencode($grade_ID)."&stream_ID=".urlencode($stream_ID)."&class_ID=".urlencode($class_ID)."&student_house=".urlencode($student_house)."&password=".urlencode($password)."&description_about_st=".urlencode($description_about_st)."&payment=".urlencode($payment)); exit(); }else{ ?> <body> <?php echo "Admission number".$admission_no." .This student has been already entered to the system ."."<BR>"."<BR>"."<BR>"; echo "<a href='newStudentRegistrationForm.php'>GO to manage student details page</a> "; exit(); }?> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHi all, I am trying to validate my contact page for phone # and country.

Basically if I use !preg_match or the preg_match examples (noted below), I do not get the correct results.
My interpretation of preg_match and my current understanding of the logic is noted below (please correct me if I'm wrong).
1. If I use alternate attempt !preg_match, the regex would be compared against the "string" in the $email variable. If the regex expression matches, error will be thrown and script would stop.
2. If I use alternate attempt !preg_match, the condition would be not true and move to else where the string contained within $email variable would be run through the vld function.
3. If I maintain the current script using preg_match, if the string matches the match, the condition would be true and therefore string of $email variable runs through VLD function else cleanup and throw error...
Are my statements above correct in this context? I think I'm pretty close to cracking it but seem to be missing something simple.
The current script is referenced below, forgive me if I've lost the plot. Long hours attempting to understand this language, from what I've seen so far its great.
Thanks in advance,
A
//Alternate attempt
if (!preg_match("/^[^@]+@[^@.]+\.[^@]*\w\w/", $email)) { $error = "Please enter a valid email address"; } else { $email = vld($_POST['email']); } Current code that doens't work: if (empty($_POST['email'])) { $error = "Email is required"; } else { if (strlen($_POST['email']) < 5) { $error = "Email is too short!"; } else { if (strlen($_POST['email']) > 30) { $error = "Email is too long!"; } else { if (preg_match("/[\(\)\<\>\,\;\:\\\"\[\]]/", $email)) { $error = "The email address contains illegal characters"; } else { if (preg_match("/^[^@]+@[^@.]+\.[^@]*\w\w/", $email)) { $email = vld($_POST['email']); } else { $error = "Please enter a valid email address"; } } } } } } Hello! I was wondering if I could have some help with some form validation. In my insert script, I have: <label for="text"><br /> <br /> Question Text:</label> <textarea name="text" id="text" cols="45" rows="5"> </textarea> Then in a separate script, I input the data into a database: $data = array('text' => $_POST['text'] 'question_type' => $_POST['question_type'], 'solution' => $_POST['solution'], 'author_id' => $_POST['author'], 'public_access' => $_POST['public_access']); In this database script, I'd like to check if the text field was "posted": if it's empty I'd then like to print "Required field" on my original script. First, if there's nothing to be posted from the text field, I want to stop the database script and return before entering a blank field into my database. Then, it would be great if I could print a "Required field" message in the original script. Thanks in advance for your help! Okay with some help I was able to create a working guestbook! How ever I need a bit of help with validation. I would like to have it so that when someone doesn't fill out a required field a message is displayed next to the improperly filled out field. How would I go about adding this to my form or process code? So for example: if someone doesn't fill out the "name" field and clicks "sign" it will not submit but instead will display a message such as "Please fill out your name" next to the form field. Also will I am here I wanted to ask. How can I make it so that when a non-required field is left empty and posted it will fill that section out with default text? So for example: if someone decides they do not wish to fill out the "Favorite part of my site" or "Favorite Pat Song" field than submits the form than it will fill that section with a default message like this: Posted by: someone (someone@domain.com) 2011/04/09 Favorite Pat Song: -- Favorite Part of the Site: -- comments here And I promise this is my very last question. I would like for email to be required but would like to allow the user to decide whether it is kept private or not. How do I make it so that when someone doesn't type their email in it does like what I stated above, it will show a message next to the field telling them to fill out a valid email but also if they select to keep their email private it will than post a default value in place of where the email would have been. for example: if the email field is left empty or is an invalid email it will display a message such as "Please fill out a valid email address" next to the form field. and than if they do so but also check the "private" box it will post their message in the guestbook with a default value in place of the email like this: Posted by: someone (Private) 2011/04/09 Favorite Pat Song: -- Favorite Part of the Site: -- comments here so that was a lot here's my guestbook code: Code: [Select] <?php <span style='color:#ff0000'><b>*</b></span><span> = required field</span><br /><br /> <form name='guestbook' action='process.php' method='post'> <table width='550' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='0'> <tr valign='top'> <td width='550px' class='what'><span style='color:#ff0000'><b>*</b></span> Your Name:</td> <td width='550px'><input name='name' type='text' id='name' size='32' /></td> </tr> <tr valign='top'> <td width='550px' class='what'><span style='color:#ff0000'><b>*</b></span> Email Address:</td> <td width='550px'><input name='email' type='text' id='email' size='32' /><input type='checkbox' name='private' value='Private' />Private</td> </tr> <tr valign='top'> <td width='550px' class='what'>Your Favorite Pat Song?:</td> <td width='550px'><input name='song' type='text' id='song' size='32' /></td> </tr> <tr valign='top'> <td width='550px' class='what'>Your Favorite Part of my Site?:</td> <td width='550px'><input name='part' type='text' id='part' size='32' /></td> </tr> <tr valign='top'> <td width='550px' class='what'><span style='color:#ff0000'><b>*</b></span> Comment:</td> <td width='550px'><textarea name='comments' cols='28' rows='6' id='comments' class='bodytext'></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td class='bodytext'> </td> <td align='left' valign='top'><input name='submit' type='submit' class='btn' value='Sign' /></td> </tr> </table> </form>"; }else{ $connect = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","patben_admin","pepsi_1990") or die('Error connecting'); $db = mysql_select_db("patben_db") or die('Error selecting db'); $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM guestbook order by id desc"); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query); if($num_rows > 0) { //display entries while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){ echo ' <table> <tr> <td> <b>Posted by:</b> '.$row['name'].'

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you I am asking for some simple help, please. :-) I have a form that I would like to validate very specific information on - without having it validate in the php and loose what the client just put into the site. I have found an example in this "validation" process. However, when I open this up in Dreamweaver CS4, I have an error on line 67 as a syntex error. I am unable to see where this would be. All I need is a verification on the name, the phone number, and the email address. Here is what I have so far.... **This is contact form** Code: [Select] <script language="JavaScript"> function checkForm() { var cname, cemail, cphone with(window.document.Contact1) { cname = name; cemail = EmailFrom; cphone = phone; } if(trim(cname.value) == '') { alert('Please enter your name'); cname.focus(); return false; } else if(trim(cemail.value) == '') { alert('Please enter your email'); cemail.focus(); return false; } else if(!isEmail(trim(cemail.value))) { alert('Email address is not valid'); cemail.focus(); return false; } else if(trim(cphone.value) == '') { alert('Please enter message subject'); csubject.focus(); return false; } } else { cname.value = trim(cname.value); cemail.value = trim(cemail.value); cphone.value = trim(cphone.value); return true; } } function trim(str) { return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,''); } function isEmail(str) { var regex = /^[-_.a-z0-9]+@(([-_a-z0-9]+\.)+(ad|ae|aero|af|ag| ai|al|am|an|ao|aq|ar|arpa|as|at|au|aw|az|ba|bb|bd|be|bf|bg| bh|bi|biz|bj|bm|bn|bo|br|bs|bt|bv|bw|by|bz|ca|cc|cd|cf|cg| ch|ci|ck|cl|cm|cn|co|com|coop|cr|cs|cu|cv|cx|cy|cz|de|dj|dk| dm|do|dz|ec|edu|ee|eg|eh|er|es|et|eu|fi|fj|fk|fm|fo|fr|ga|gb| gd|ge|gf|gh|gi|gl|gm|gn|gov|gp|gq|gr|gs|gt|gu|gw|gy|hk|hm|hn| hr|ht|hu|id|ie|il|in|info|int|io|iq|ir|is|it|jm|jo|jp|ke|kg| kh|ki|km|kn|kp|kr|kw|ky|kz|la|lb|lc|li|lk|lr|ls|lt|lu|lv|ly| ma|mc|md|mg|mh|mil|mk|ml|mm|mn|mo|mp|mq|mr|ms|mt|mu|museum| mv|mw|mx|my|mz|na|name|nc|ne|net|nf|ng|ni|nl|no|np|nr|nt|nu| nz|om|org|pa|pe|pf|pg|ph|pk|pl|pm|pn|pr|pro|ps|pt|pw|py|qa| re|ro|ru|rw|sa|sb|sc|sd|se|sg|sh|si|sj|sk|sl|sm|sn|so|sr|st| su|sv|sy|sz|tc|td|tf|tg|th|tj|tk|tm|tn|to|tp|tr|tt|tv|tw|tz| ua|ug|uk|um|us|uy|uz|va|vc|ve|vg|vi|vn|vu|wf|ws|ye|yt|yu|za| zm|zw)|(([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5])\.){3}([0-9][0-9]?|[0-1][0-9][0-9]|[2][0-4][0-9]|[2][5][0-5]))$/i; return regex.test(str); } </script> Below is the php file that I am using....

Again - when I open up Contact1.html in DW CS4, I get a syntext error on line 67. When I use just straight form, it opens to new window with php - > error.html, which in turns looses everything the client just typed. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Blessings! If asked, I can attach the files if needed as well, but the code is pretty self-explain. Hi, I am trying to setup a PHP script that will validate an html form. The form and the PHP script are separate from each other. The code that I have was modified from a tutorial on YouTube. The example used there works but as I have began to tailor it to my purpose, it is now broke. I just added one line for validation to simplify troubleshooting. If I find an empty field on the form, I would like to display the error message on the form itself rather than start a new html page with the PHP script. I am not sure if that is possible. Here is my form: http://www.tallfirshoa.com/adform.htm YouTube videos that I was working from. The video's example has the form and PHP combined as one. In my case, I need the form and PHP separate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuLpSospbBk&feature=search http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF5zTWthpn0&feature=search The code works fine if I leave out the validation. As soon as I add if(!$fname), the script becomes broken. I'm guessing that it has something to do with $errorstring and how it works. I am new to PHP and have tried as many things as I can think of but I can't make any forward progress. Thanks for your help! Rob Code: [Select] <html> <h1>Tall Firs Ad Submission</h1> <?php if ($_POST['submit']) { //Get form data $fname = $_POST['fname']; $lname = $_POST['lname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $displayemail = $_POST['displayemail']; $phone = $_POST['phone']; $category = $_POST['category']; $description = $_POST['description']; //Declare variables $to = "email@gmail.com"; $subject = "Request"; $headers = "From: $email \r\n Reply-To: $email"; } //Setup form validation $errorstring = "" //default value of error string //Begin validation if (!$fname) $errorstring = $errorstring."First Name<br>"; ?> </html> Hi. I'm new to PHP and have a problem with some form validation. The code below is my contact form. It was working until I added a dropdown list and checkbox. For all the other fields I created an input variable using the 'name' attribute to reference the data entered into the input fields and the validation appeared to work and an email was sent to the appropriate email address. For the checkbox field I have also created a 'name' attribute but don't know whether this is right way to confirm whether the box has been checked? For the field with a dropdown selection I have used the option 'selected', but again, don't know whether this is right or not. Now when I enter valid data into all the fields, select a value from the dropdown and check the checkbox, I get an error message stating that I need to fill in all the form fields. I am pretty sure it is to do with the way I have tried to pick up the data from dropdown list and the checkbox, but can't figure out what it is. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello All, I am a newbie to PHP and I'm working on a marathon sign up form for my final project and could really use the help. The trouble i'm having is sending and retrieving database from the database. Below is the code i am using. Can someone please review and tell me where I went wrong.
(This is the code that is sitting at the top of my document)
<?php
}
(This is my form [submit_registration] )
<div class="contact"> I want in my form to validate on the fly(when the user enters the user name) to validate if the user name exists or not. How am i supposed to check if the field name is the same or not with a name in the database.Should i use ajax or javascript? is there any simple example on how to do that. Hi Guys, Im a bit of a novice to Php but somehow I've managed to get myself a form together for customers to book online. My problem is that i need to validate all the input's of my form. To give you some idea of what i mean. The $name should only contain letters and be no longer than 25 characters. The $address should only contain letters & numbers and be no longer than 40 characters. The $district and $town should only contain letters and be no longer than 30 characters each. The $postcode should only contain letters and Numbers and be no longer than 8 characters, it should start and end with a letter if thats possible. The $phone should only contain numbers and be no longer than 11 characters. And the email, well im lost with how that should be set out because of all the different options you can have. Anyway, this is my code: <?php $to = 'myemail.com' ; $from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ; $name = $_REQUEST['Name'] ; $phone = $_REQUEST['Phone']; $headers = "From: $from"; $subject = "Booking Request"; $fields = array(); $fields{"Name"} = "Name"; $fields{"Address"} = "Address"; $fields{"District"} = "District"; $fields{"Town"} = "Town"; $fields{"Postcode"} = "Postcode"; $fields{"Phone"} = "Phone"; $fields{"Email"} = "Email"; $fields{"list"} = "Mailing List"; $fields{"Message"} = "Message"; $body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b) { $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); } if ($name == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";} elseif ($phone == '') {print "You have not entered a Phone number, please go back and try again";} else { $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); if($send) {header( "Location: http://www.(not applicable).com" );} else {print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify webmaster@YourCompany.com"; } } ?> Any help is greatly apprecaited. Kind regards Rich How can I go about validating a form in PHP? I am trying to do so, but I am clueless as to how to structure it. Hi, I currently have the following code in my form processing script: Code: [Select] $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; $error_missing = 'This field is required'; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$Name)) { $errors[] = $error_missing; } if(!preg_match($string_exp_number,$Phone)) { $errors[] = $error_missing; } if(is_array($errors)) { echo 'Your message could not be sent due to the following errors:'; while (list($key,$value) = each($errors)) { echo '<span class="error">'.$value.'</span><br />'; } If the user enters no data into the required fields, the script prevents the form from being submitted and displays an error. At present the errors for all the required fields are displayed in a long list at the top of my HTML form e.g. This field is required This field is required What I want to do, is place the error message under each required field e.g. this http://coreyworrell.com/assets/uploads/images/ajax_contact_form.png instead of this http://cdn1.1stwebdesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/validation-ajax-css-form.jpg What do I need to do? My form looks similar to this at the moment: Code: [Select] <div id="log"> <div id="log_res"> </div> </div> <form id="contact" name="contact" method="post" action="process.php"> <label>Name</label> <input type="text" name="Name" id="Name" tabindex="1" /> <label>Email</label> <input type="text" name="Phone" id="Phone" tabindex="2" /> </form> The error messages are placed in the <div> section at the top of the form (using ajax) hi, i want to check in a form if a date submitted is not null, how can i modify this script if( empty($_POST['year'] . '-' . $_POST['month'] . '-' .$_POST['day']) Hi I am currently writing code to validate a form using PHP. What i wanted was to validate all inputs and then post the data to a external mysql server. However, i want a function placed on the submit/send button of the form, in which the function checks to see if there are no errors and then forwards the user to another page where the data is inserted into the sql database.

Im abit stuck and being a newbie dont help lol. Hi there, I've got a HTML textarea with the name attribute of 'review' and I've posted this into a variable called $review. I want to say if the characters are less than 30, please enter more words etc. The problem is, I get the if statement's error even when there are more than 30 characters. Can anyone figure out why I'm getting this? Code: [Select] if ($review < 30){ echo '<p class="red">Review is too short, please enter at least 15 words</p>'; } Hi all, Im trying to add validation to a form to allow PHP to check before its sends the values to another page for them to be uploaded to a database.
