PHP - Form Validation Not Producing The Error Messages When It Should
Similar TutorialsHow is it possible, in PHP, to display an error message next to a form input text field if a user is attempting to submit a form with empty fields? Moreover, how is it possible to remove the same error message when the user fills in the input field with the required data and/or refreshes the page? I have 2 files that I am working with: application.php and process.php.
application.php mainly has the HTML of the form. I am very new to learning PHP (I started learning it last week) and I have been searching for hours for a clear answer. I have already tried different methods for generating the error message including: using empty(), !isset, $_POST["name"] = "", etc, and have tried using session_start();, $row, echo, print, and other variables to try and display error message on the page, and I have tried using unset();, and = null, to try and remove the error message once the input field has been filled but all to no avail. Either the method I try only half works, or nothing works, and I cannot pinpoint which is the part that is not working. I only have 2 files to work with, and as an example of what I want to do is:
1. If the first name field is empty when the user clicks submit, an error message should appear next to the input. Is this possible with PHP? Hi, I have a separate form created using Dreamweaver that calls a separate php script when the Submit button is clicked. Currently I am able display form validation messages in a new html page. If the user leaves fields blank, I would like the messages to appear on the form itself instead of in a new page. How do you make the messages from the php form validation code display into the calling html form? I know I could just do this with Dreamweaver but I would like to learn to do this using php. It might be easier to embed the code within the html page but I was thinking that using the separate script would be more secure. My form can be found here. Validation is working but opens a new page: http://www.tallfirshoa.com/adform.htm Thanks! Rob Hi.. Im new to php..

Hi, I'm quite a newbie to PHP and am doing a website. Have got a login working and the registration half way there, but am now in process of putting validation in Registration form. Have got the errors appearing if domething isn't filled in or if the username is taken however, it clears all the fields and i would like it to keep the values in them if possible. Is there an easy way round this? I can give my code if needed Cozzy Been 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> I am trying to use the new way of validating the entered email in a register form.

Hi, I am creating a cms using php and my sql for my website. I have managed to create the majority of it but am having trouble added a menu on each page. It appears on the homepage with the following code: <ul id="headlines"> <?php foreach ( $results['articles'] as $article ) { ?> <li> <h2> <a href=".?action=viewArticle&articleId=<?php echo $article->id?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $article->title )?></a> </h2> </li> <?php } ?> </ul> Once I click on a selection from the menu it takes me to the correct article but there is no menu now. If I try to copy and paste the code from homepage into my viewArticle file it gives me the error messages 'undefined index articles on line 6' and 'invalid argument supplied for for each'. This is the viewArticle code after I pasted in the code from homepage: <ul id="headlines"> <?php foreach ( $results['articles'] as $article ) { ?> <li> <h2> <a href=".?action=viewArticle&articleId=<?php echo $article->id?>"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $article->title )?></a> </h2> </li> <?php } ?> </ul> <h1 style="width: 75%;"><?php echo htmlspecialchars( $results['article']->title )?></h1> <div style="width: 75%;"><?php echo $results['article']->content?></div> I would really appreciate anybody helping me figure out how I can add the menu onto the viewArticle page. Thanks in advance hello , i have this code: <?php function error_table($err){ echo"<p><span class='textborder'>$err</span></p>"; } ?> in a separate php file and then call it from another php file , like this : $msg_err='bla bla'; error_table($msg_err); when i click the button it shows the text with its border(the class has a border ,color and 1px) but when i have the code inside other if functions it shows it 2 or 3 times...

Hey there I've adapted the search code from the tutorial on this site here http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/simple-sql-search for a project I've been working on but have an error. The search works just fine but if either of the messages I've included are tripped (zero search characters or nothing found) then I get a blank screen and the error message is not echoed. (The vanilla code works fine - the error has arisen through the changes I needed to make). I don't know why this is happening and would appreciate some help please. Thanks in advance for any help. Code: [Select] session_start(); // check session variable if (isset($_SESSION['first_name'])) { include ('includes/header_loggedin.html'); //db connection info deleted $error = array(); //get search term, strip it if (isset($_GET['search'])) { $searchTerms = trim($_GET['search']); $searchTerms = strip_tags($searchTerms); // remove any html/javascript. if (strlen($searchTerms) < 1) { $error[] = 'Search terms must be longer than 1 character.'; }else { $searchTermDB = mysql_real_escape_string($searchTerms); // prevent sql injection. } //formulate query if (count($error) < 1) { $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row LIKE '%{$searchTermDB}%'"; //make the query $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); //display the results if (mysql_num_rows($result) < 1) { $error[] = "Your search term yielded no results."; } else { while ($endresult = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo '<br />'; echo 'This is what we found'; echo '<br />'; echo '<a href="newpage.php?w=' . $endresult['row'] . '">' . $endresult['row'] . '</a>'; } } } } } Hello, I've been working on a search script that call on a function to retrieve info from my database. What I'm trying to do next is to echo various errors e.g. No search results to display. At the moment I have three messages I would like to display based on the user input but it is not working when I try to set up a second functions within the same tags.

Hello, I am hoping to get some advice on how to make my code work. What I would like to do is display a "you are already subscribed" message if the user experiences error 1062 (duplicate entry) and die, or if it's a different error that occurs I would just like it to display the raw error message and die. I've tried it this and way and that but I'm stumped (obviously I'm also pretty new to this). Here is my code: Quote <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost"); if (!$con) { die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("subscribe", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO subscribe_init (id, notes) values ('$_POST[id]','$_POST[notes]')"; if (!mysql_errno() == 1062) echo 'You are already subscribed.'; elseif (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) die ('Error: ' . mysql_errno() . mysql_error()); else echo "Thank you for signing up!"; mysql_close($con) ?> Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you! This is what I'm getting...

A simplified version of page 2 looks like this Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) { $errors = array(); // Connect to the database. require_once ('config.php'); //Check for errors. //Check to ensure that the password is long enough and is of the right format. if (eregi ("^[[:alnum:]]{8,16}$" , $_POST['password'])) { $b = TRUE; } else { $b = FALSE; $errors[] = 'Please enter a password that consists only of letters and numbers between 8 and 16 characters long.'; } //Check to make sure the password matches the confirmed password. if ($_POST['password'] == $_POST['password2']) { $c = TRUE; $password = $_POST['password']; //Encrypt the password. } else { $c = FALSE; $errors[] = 'The password you entered did not match the confirmed password.'; } //Check to make sure they entered their first name and it's of the right format. if (eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|')+$", $_POST['firstname'])) { $d = TRUE; } else { $d = FALSE; $errors[] = 'Please enter a valid first name.'; } //Check to make sure they entered their last name and it's of the right format. if (eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|')+$", $_POST['lastname'])) { $e = TRUE; } else { $e = FALSE; $errors[] = 'Please enter a valid last name.'; } //Insert data into database. if (empty($errors)) { //query the database. for the sake of simplicity, I wont include the code // Show thank you message echo "<h3>Thank You!</h3> You have been registered"; } else { echo '<font color="red">You could not be registered, please contact us about the problem and we will fix it as soon as we can.</font>'; } //Display error messages. } else {// if errors array is not empty header("Location: page1.php?message=$errors");//Trying to pass the errors array into the url for page1 } } ?> So the idea is to create an array that contains all the errors. Upon querying the database, if the user completed the fields as required, a thank you message is printed. If not, he is redirected to the page containing the form (page 1) and the array containing the errors is transferred to page 1. Now I will include the relevant section of page 1 whihc is supposed to print the error messages. Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_GET['message']) { echo '<h3>Error!</h3> The following error(s) occured:<br />'; foreach ($errors as $msg) { echo "$msg<br/>\n"; } } ?> I get the following error message when I submit the registration forms with deliberate errors: Error! The following error(s) occured: PHP Error Message Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/a4993450/public_html/register_page_content.php on line 66 Free Web Hosting Can anyone point out why this error occurs? |
