PHP - Custom 404 Pages Linked Into Cms Site

Hi, I want to be able to allow user to enter in <input type="text" >... the total XML files to upload on the first page so:

my first page has form that asks user how many uploads form they want so (firstpage.html):
<form method='post' action='outputTotalUploads.php' >...

Then in second form (outputTotalUploads.php) is where it outputs the desired number of upload forms based on the first page:
for loop to post each <form method='post' action='addToDb.php' >...

Finally in third page (addToDb.php):
for each uploaded file, do: //BUT HOW DO I GET THIS TOTAL??
  add to database

*My problem is HOW do I refer to the total number of uploads the user chose way back in the first page b/c I know you cannot have multiple action attribute in the form tag.

Any help much appreciated!

Hi im a little stuck... What im trying to do is when you request a page that is not there it goes to a custom error page. I have set the redirect via the .htaccess file.

Basicly what im trying to do is only have one php file which displays the server response i.e. 404 error or 401 error and so on rather than having several error pages.

So in the code
Code: [Select]
<h1>Oopppsss!!!! <!-- ERROR TO DISPLAY HERE i.e. 404 page not found --></h1>
      <p>There seems to be a problem... The page you are looking for does not exist or has moved. This is a permanent error. If you think this is a mistake please get in touch either by giving us a ring on 101010 or by filling out the web form on the <a href="contact-me.php">contact me</a> page...</p>

Any thaught on how i can do this or is it not possible...

Cheers

if I have a list of 5,000 bots and their server header into in my DBs, can someone point me to a web resource that can give me any insight into how to show a custom page if a bot is detected at the render request? I can look up PHP functions myself and possibly use header(), but didn’t know if anything special was involved that I don’t already know about. so, say for instance, as a joke I want to do this:

<?php
$ip = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
   if (substr($ip, 0, 3) = '10.') {
      echo 'sorry, but we do not display content to USA government's automated server sniffing bots.';
}
?>

how much of a pain in the rear would it be to display custom pages for ‘‘x’’ number of automated hits? I realize that this is pointless because most are just from researching orgs the world over, but it IS a relevant question to ask. thanks.

Hi everyone, 

I am a beginner web designer and a novice php user. I am a regular forum user and understand that you should always do a search and try to find the answer yourself but I have done that and didn't get any results (or I didn't understand them!).

So I ask for some assistance - either you can tell me the code or link me to the correct answer.

I am working on a website that I have built a enquiry form for and it has a php script for it. I have managed to get the form running properly and got the reCaptcha working correctly (with a custom error page) but I do not understand how to add custom error pages for incomplete email addresses, empty email addresses, or for a blank form? I tried using the same tactic I used for the reCaptcha error page but it didn't work - probably because I was guessing and just tried it in a bunch of different places.

The error msg that displays now is just a plain white page with the msg - Email address is invalid appearing at the top left.
While this is suitably functional it doesn't really look like much so I want to build a custom page for each error that could happen.

So the code is below - if anyone can point a beginner in the right direction I would be super happy.  :mrgreen:

if you need anymore code or other details just tell me and I will post them up.

The url of the form page is http://www.sunsolutionshomeimprovement.com/onlinesales.html

This is the code I think you will need - I got it from a demo php script that I have modified. As I said I don't have much clue what I'm doing so I just posted it exactly how it looks - if I over did it I apologize... :oops:

68.// Validate email field.
69.
70.if(isset($_REQUEST['email']) && !empty($_REQUEST['email']))
71.{
72.
73.if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+|:)/i",$_REQUEST['email'])){$errors[] = "Email address may not contain a new line or
74.a colon";}
75.
76.$_REQUEST['email'] = trim($_REQUEST['email']);
77.
78.if(substr_count($_REQUEST['email'],"@") != 1 || stristr($_REQUEST['email']," ")){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_email = explode("@",$_REQUEST['email']);if(empty($exploded_email[0]) || strlen($exploded_email[0]) > 64 || empty($exploded_email[1])){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{if(substr_count($exploded_email[1],".") == 0){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_domain = explode(".",$exploded_email[1]);if(in_array("",$exploded_domain)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{foreach($exploded_domain as $value){if(strlen($value) > 63 || !preg_match('/^[a-z0-9-]+$/i',$value)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid"; break;}}}}}}
78.
79.)
80.
81.// Check referrer is from same site.
82.
83.if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))){$errors[] = "You must enable referrer logging to use the form";}
84.
85.// Check for a blank form.
86.
87.function recursive_array_check_blank($element_value)
88.(
89.
90.global $set;
91.
92.if(!is_array($element_value)){if(!empty($element_value)){$set = 1;}}
93.else
94.
95.
96.foreach($element_value as $value){if($set){break;} recursive_array_check_blank($value);}
97.
98.)
99.
100.)
101.
102.recursive_array_check_blank($_REQUEST);
103.
104.if(!$set){$errors[] = "You cannot send a blank form";}
105.
106.unset($set);
107.
108.// Display any errors and exit if errors exist.
109.
110.if(count($errors)){foreach($errors as $value){print "$value<br>";} exit;}
111.
112.if(!defined("PHP_EOL")){define("PHP_EOL", strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == "WIN") ? "\r\n" : "\n");}
113.
114.// Build message.

I don't think there is anymore that is relevant?

I just want to reiterate that I know nearly nothing about this stuff so if you could keep your answers simple it would help a lot - cheers!
