Is jquery/Ajax better than real/raw PHP for form validation ?!

What if JavaScript is turned off on the browser?!

why after someone refreshing a page on the browser, the variables used to echo error after invalid data is being submitted will return the undefined variables error?!

And how to handle form validation including an empty form field, maximum amount of value entered and so on

Currently I'm trying to get a registration form to work adding a username and password into a database. That bit I understand and have managed to do aswell as getting the password to hash using  the line below:

$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

 

What I'm trying to do now is have the passwords check to see if they are the same, if so the user is able to register, if not they are sent back to the registration page(which was working before I started tampering with the next bit). I also want to checkto see if the username is taken, the following code is what I have so far:

<?php
session_start();

/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "rockinrochester");
 
// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
 
$sql= mysql_query("SELECT FROM register (username, password) WHERE username=$username");
 if(mysql_num_rows($sql)>=1)
   {
    echo"name already exists";
   }
 else
    {
   	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$password = $_POST['password'];
	$password2 = $_POST['password2'];
	$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
	
if($password != $password2) {   //checks to see if passwords match, if they don't it redirects person back to registration form
		header('Location: register.php');
		echo "passwords didn't match";
	    
}
else {
	
 $sql = "INSERT INTO register (username, password) VALUES ( '$username','$hashed')"; // if passwords match inputs them into database
	
}

if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
   header('Location: registered.php'); // if it works relocated person to registered.html
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link); // if it fails it prints an error message
}
 
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
    }


?>

<?php
session_start();

/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "rockinrochester");
 
// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
 

	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$password = $_POST['password'];
	$password2 = $_POST['password2'];
	$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT FROM register(username, password, ) WHERE username=$username");

 if(mysql_num_rows($sql)>=1)
   {
    echo"name already exists";
   }
 else{

if($password != $password2) {   //checks to see if passwords match, if they don't it redirects person back to registration form
		header('Location: register.php');
		echo "passwords didn't match";
	     }


else {
	
    $sql = "INSERT INTO register (username, password) VALUES ( '$username','$hashed')"; // if passwords match inputs them into database
	
}

if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
   header('Location: registered.php'); // if it works relocated person to registered.html
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link); // if it fails it prints an error message
}
 
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);

    }


?>

at the minute It's throwing back the following error

Hi Guys,

This is really stumping me here lol i have set my registration page code to email me when a user signs up (once its entered in the database)

code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitSignUp']))
{
   // Errors array()
   $errors = array();

   // POST vars
   $fName = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fname']);

   $pass1 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['pass1']); 
   $pass2 = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['pass2']); 
   $cntry = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['cntry']); 
   
   // Does passwords match
   if ($pass1 != $pass2)
   {
      $errors[] = "Your passwords don't match."; 
   }
   
   // Potential errors 
   // Empty fields
   if (empty($fName) || empty($lName) || empty($email) || empty($pass1) || empty($pass2)) {

       $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `dig_customers` WHERE `email`='$email' LIMIT 1");

       }
   }

          }
       
   }

}
?>

When i do a test signup on: http://www.digicures.com/sign-up.php everything works great i get an email and the entry is saved in the database, over the paste week or so i have had about 8 emails saying people have signed up but when i check the database there nothing there!

i can't understand it, only when the insert query is true should it send me the mail eh?

can anyone see any problems with the code at all?

cheers guys

I'm making a registration form and i want to add a user when i click the registration button, but the user can not already be in the database, i set  the user to be unique inside of the database and when i try to add a new user it gives an error message, but instead of that error message i would like to input please enter another user-name or user already exist something like that the error message says duplicate entry 'username' inside of db basically...
can someone help me with this ?

Hi, php newbie here, web developer newbie too!

Some time ago I did a website which included a course registration form which someone else created for me in php.  This worked fine and I amended the original to work on another website.  I am currently updating this second website and the php has stopped working, and I am no longer in contact with the original developer of the code.

The form is at: http://www.bisntechnologies.com/register.htm, and the php is:

<?php

/* ------- Stuff You Can Change --------- */

$recipient = 'registration@bisntechnologies.com';
$redirect  = 'confirmation.php';

/* -------------------------------------- */

$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$company = $HTTP_POST_VARS['company'];
$position = $HTTP_POST_VARS['position'];
$telephone = $HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone'];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$interest = $HTTP_POST_VARS['interest'];
$clientip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$msg = "Name: $name\nCompany: $company\nPosition: $position\nTelephone: $telephone\nE-mail: $email\nInterest: $interest\n\nIP Address: $clientip";

$replymsg = "<html><body style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 13px\"><p>Dear $name,</p><p>Thank you for registering.</p><p><a href=\"http://www.bisntechnologies.com\"><img border=0 src=\"http://www.bisntechnologies.com/images/NewLogo.jpg\" alt=\"BiSN Technologies Ltd\"></a></p></body></html>";

if (mail($email,'Registration',$replymsg,"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\r\nFrom: registration@bisntechnologies.com")) {
 mail($recipient,'Registration Confirmation',$msg,"From: $email");
 include($redirect);
} else {
  echo "<h4>\"$email\" is an invalid e-mail address. Please click the browser's Back button.</h4>";
}

?>

Putting in valid information gives the error:  "" is an invalid e-mail address. Please click the browser's Back button." which it didn't used to do.  I expect it is a very simple mistake but I cannot trace it.

Any help to pinpoint the problem greatly appreciated.

below is the code for a registration form. It "works",I mean that the insert query is being performed, some error messages appear. the problem is, i don't understand how "root" is being automatically sent to the database as a username.

when logging into phpmyadmin, the username root appears because it is on autofill. but, i don't get why it's filling the registration form with root. i don't see "root" entered on the form, but, after registering, it says "Congratulations root!". If i leave the form blank, i don't get the error message for blank username either.

i've just started learning php,so i guess something might be wrong with the code.
any help, please?

I need an Event Registration Script that allows for payment with Paypal & saves form details and Paypal transaction ID to my MySQL DB After the payment has been finalized.

I want to have ppl be able to register for camp, and with that choose if they want to preorder the new camp DVD, order last camps DVD, order both DVD's or neither DVD.

I am not incredible gifted with PHP since I am new so please be gentle. What do you recommend?

I would like to learn a little from this process instead of buying a completed script.

Thanks

Any body please, Why my registration form page stoped working, don't feed the dbase any more, I'm the only one with access to make changes but I did not make any changes, just stoped out of no where, any ideas?

Hello,

I am currently coding a site from scratch. I know i can use templates and everything else but i want the experience. The HTML I've had down for years but it seems PHP is getting a little elusive for me. I'm trying to create a registration form and when i test my site i keep getting parse errors and syntax errors... mainly regarding the use of {} and if/else. Any help would be appreciated. Most of the code is still incomplete, I have to go back and fill in some areas I've left blank for now, but i have commented using // Where the browser is kicking back my errors.

I need help with this ASAP!!! I pretty sure my boss will fire me if I can not figure this out tonight... PLEASE HELP!  I am a graphic designer and not a programmer... PLEASE HELP ME!!!


My form will not display the echoed message ("Please fill in all required (*) feilds", "Maximum length for username is 25 characters", etc.) when I hit submit...

It wouldn't even show the variables when I tried to just have the form only echo the various strings... nothing appeared... the only way I could get the string values to appear was through a array like this:

  if(is_array($_POST)){
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($_POST);
    echo '</pre>';
  }

^^This returned the data fine... but when I try to echo on particular string and not using the array, nothing appears... This is crucial as this is how the custom error messages are displayed...

http://www.doctorbrownshoes.com/testPHP/registration.php

Ok im only new to PHP and Im trying to setup my own porfolio website using PHP,CSS,HTML5 and other bits. Iv downloaded WAMP and im tryin to get my website workin offline first.

Well im just trying to get a section in my site in the top right corner for a login and register area similar to this website (membership section) iv bein following some online video tuts and completed them right but Im not sure how to integrate it into my existing home page,/ index.html page.

I want to have it so that it says login or registered and it works through php. all the tuts I followed seem to have this done on one index.php page and im getting confused as to how I can have a small section on my home page just for registering if yano what I mean.....

Maybe its a silly question....im still learning....Any help be gratefull
