PHP - Form Validation Errors
Similar TutorialsBeen 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> Hello, I am doing a php registration form, file name is register.php Code: [Select] <?php include("config.php"); $submit = strip_tags($_POST['submit']); $username = strip_tags($_POST['user_box']); $password = md5(strip_tags($_POST['pass_box'])); $cpassword = md5(strip_tags($_POST['c_pass_box'])); $email = strip_tags($_POST['email_box']); $mobile = $_POST['mobile_box']; $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $date = date('Y-m-d'); $time = date('h-i-s'); $i = 0; $checkusername = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username'")); $checkemail = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email'")); /* Validating username field */ if($username != NULL) { if (strlen($username) > 15 || strlen($username) < 6) { echo "<p>Username must be in range of 6 to 15 Characters.</p>"; } else { //check in DB if ($checkusername == 1) { echo "<p>Username already exist in database.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } } else { echo "<p>Username cannot be Blank</p>"; } /* ----------validating password field---------- */ if ($password != "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" || $cpassword != "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e") { if ($password == $cpassword) { if (strlen($password) > 16 && strlen($password) < 4) { echo "<p>password must be in range of 4 to 16 Characters.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Passwords do not match.</p>"; } } else { echo "<p>Password cannot be empty</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Passwords End---------- */ /* ----------Validating Email field Starts---------- */ if($email != NULL) { if($checkemail == 1) { echo "<p>Email already exist.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Email field cannot be empty.</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Email fiend ends---------- */ /* ----------Validating Email field Starts---------- */ if($mobile != NULL) { if(strlen($mobile) >10) { echo "<p>Mobile cannot be more than 10 digits long</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Mobile field cannot be empty.</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Email fiend ends---------- */ if ($i == 4) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email, mobile, ip, date, time) VALUES ('$username', '$cpassword', '$email', '$mobile', '$ip', '$date', '$time')"); echo "<p>Successful Registration Done !</p>"; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="576" height="229" border="0"> <tr> <td width="139">Username :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="user_box"></label> <input type="text" name="user_box" id="user_box" size="30" height="30" /> (Between 6 to 15 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="pass_box"></label> <input type="password" name="pass_box" id="pass_box" size="30" height="30" /> (Between 4 to 16 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Confirm Password :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="c_pass_box"></label> <input type="password" name="c_pass_box" id="c_pass_box" size="30" height="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email Address :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="email_box"></label> <input type="text" name="email_box" id="email_box" size="30" height="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mobile No. :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="mobile_box"></label> <input type="text" name="mobile_box" id="mobile_box" size="30" height="30" /> (10 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td width="171"><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /></td> <td width="252"><input type="reset" name="button2" id="button2" value="Reset" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> When I load page, it shows following errors before Username cannot be Blank Password cannot be empty Email field cannot be empty. Mobile field cannot be empty. What I want is on loading page i.e. before giving any inputs, it should not show any errors. Need help Ok I'm setting the error. I debugged my code and it's catching the phrase in the set_error() function. But it's returning NULL when I try to display it from the display_error() function. These functions are in the form class. I create a new instance of it on the register.php and I'm trying to grab the values. Here is my Form class (only showing the part you need to see): Code: [Select] class Form { private $error; public function set_error($errmsg){ $this->error = $errmsg; return; } public function display_error() { $error = "<p style='color:red;'>".$this->error."</p>"; return $error; } } Then here is my register process: Code: [Select] if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { if(isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['username']) && isset($_POST['password']) && isset($_POST['password2']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['email2']) && isset($_POST['dob']) && isset($_POST['gender']) && isset($_POST['security'])) { if ($user->register_user($_POST['name'], $_POST['username'], $_POST['password'], $_POST['password2'], $_POST['email'], $_POST['email2'], $_POST['dob'], $_POST['gender'], $_POST['security'])) { $message = "User has been registered successfully."; } else { $message = $form->display_error(); } } else { $message = "Please fill out all parts of the form!"; } } It display the $message just fine when I call isset($message), but it won't display it when I assign it the form->display_error() value because it returns NULL. Thank you! I have created (modified a tutorial) a PHP Validation Form with validation.

Edited by Ch0cu3r, 06 June 2014 - 07:32 AM. Hello, I'm having difficulty learning the most efficient method of echoing error messages on a form. The particular example I'm working on is a registration form which I have had functional but not perfected as of yet. I have been able to make the form work by using die() to kill the process and display a message however I would very much like for it to kill the process and simply echo an error message, same page, no redirects... I will post my code and hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can shed some light. Cheers! Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //This is one error message I would like to display if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['pass'] | !$_POST['pass2'] ) { die('You did not complete all of the required fields'); } if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']); } $usercheck = $_POST['username']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = '$usercheck'") or die(mysql_error()); $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); //if the name already exists it gives an error here if ($check2 != 0) { die('Sorry, the username '.$_POST['username'].' is already in use.'); } // this makes sure both passwords entered match and should display an error if false if ($_POST['pass'] != $_POST['pass2']) { die('Your passwords did not match. '); } $_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']); if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['pass'] = addslashes($_POST['pass']); $_POST['username'] = addslashes($_POST['username']); } $insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."')"; $add_member = mysql_query($insert); ?> And here is the form it fits into Code: [Select] <?php } else { ?> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"><?php include ("login_header.php") ?></div> <div id="photoNav"><?php include ("mainNav.php") ?></div> <div id="tableContent"> <div class="bold_16" style="margin-top:40px">Enter Your Registration Information Below</div> <div class="padding_top"><div style="padding-top:10px; text-align:center;"> ***THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE MY ERRORS TO DISPLAY*** </div> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <table border="0" align="center"> <tr><td>Username:</td><td> <input name="username" type="text" size="23" maxlength="40"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Password:</td><td> <input name="pass" type="password" size="24" maxlength="12"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Confirm Password:</td><td> <input name="pass2" type="password" size="24" maxlength="12"> </td></tr> <tr><th colspan=2 style="text-align:right;"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" style="margin-top:10px;"></th></tr> </table> </form> <?php } ?> </div></div> p.s is it just me or is it a real pain getting a message into this text-field?? Hi Guys, I'm having slight problems with my contact form coding. Ok here goes...when I fill in the information on the contact form and press submit the email is sent not a problem, but I get an error message below the sent proceedure displaying. I've checked and doubled checked the code error area's but but just can not see the problem. you can view the screenshots here http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/screenshot.jpg http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/contact_php.jpg http://www.bubblegum-web.com/phphelp/class_mailer.jpg any help on this would be great as I proberly cant see for looking..lol. cheers I am fairly new to php and am just about to finish my website with its contact page. It is all working fine and i am receiving the email with the relevant information submitted. But there are few tweeks i would like to make, so it appears more professional. 1. For the validation I have selected it to validate three fields, email, name and message. I have tested it but the error messages are not separated. I mean if only one mistake is made then the error message appears under all three fields. 2. When I receive the email from whoever filled in the form I would like for their email address to be in the 'reply' and 'from' field in my email. I would be very grateful if anybody can help me out on these two problems I am having. Below is the code that i am currently using. (Where the errors occur i place the following code <?php echo $myError; ?> ) The following is my entire php code, which my html form directs to... <?php /* Set e-mail recipient */ $myemail = "myemailaddress@gmail.com"; /* Check all form inputs using check_input function */ $name = check_input($_POST['name'], "Please enter your name"); $subject = "Message from Keeper Website"; $email = check_input($_POST['email'], "Please enter your email address"); $how_find = check_input($_POST['how']); $comments = check_input($_POST['comments'], "Please write your message"); /* If e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email)) { show_error("E-mail address not valid"); } /* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */ $message = "Hello, Your contact form has been submitted by: Name: $name E-mail: $email How did he/she find out about us? $how_find Comments: $comments End of message "; /* Send the message using mail() function */ mail($myemail, $subject, $message); /* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */ header('Location: thanks.html'); exit(); /* Functions we used */ function check_input($data, $problem='') { $data = trim($data); $data = stripslashes($data); $data = htmlspecialchars($data); if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0) { show_error($problem); } return $data; } function show_error($myError) { ?> Many thanks in advance I have a Q&A Form that consists of 10 Questions with input boxes for 10 Answers. (Each Answer is stored in its own record in the "answer" table.) When the Form is submitted, I loop through an answerArray and decide what to do with each Form Field. For example, if there is a new Answer, then I create a new record by doing an INSERT, but if the Answer is a change, then I do an UPDATE on an existing record. Following my previous coding style, I assign a Results Code for *every* possible thing that can happen in *every* code branch, e.g. Code: [Select] $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_NO_CHANGES_2138'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_UPDATE_SUCCEEDED_2139'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_UPDATE_FAILED_2140'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_INSERT_SUCCEEDED_2141'; $_SESSION['resultsCode'] = 'ANSWERS_INSERT_FAILED_2142'; The problem is that - as my code currently stands - I only end up displaying a resultsCode for the LAST QUESTION, because the first 9 are overwritten?! Should I keep my current structure, and quit on an Errors, and display a page with that error (e.g. Update Failed), and then just comment out the Succeed messages? Or do I get fancy and store each Success or Error in an array and display the outcome for all 10 Questions after the Form is processed? In the past all of this was easy, because ONE FORM equated to ONE RECORD, so Error Messages were easier to display. But here, I have ONE FORM and up to 10 RECORDS?! Hope this is making sense? Thanks, Debbie Hi, i'm a PHP newbie and am working on a contact form which is below. I've just included one field (email) to make things shorter. In practice this works okay but when the page is first displayed it shows the "No Email was entered" error. I know that I need to include something like "if (isset($_POST['submit'])) is true then process the error checking otherwise display the form however I can't seem to find where to put it and spent all weekend on this now, little help? Once i've got this sorted i'll add the other fields and javascript error checking as well. Many thanks Ryan <?php // shortform.php $email = ""; $to = 'myemail@address.co.uk'; $subject = 'Contact form email'; $message = 'please work!'; if (isset($_POST['email'])) $email = fix_string($_POST['email']); $fail = validate_email($email); echo "<html><head><title>Shortform</title>"; if ($fail =="") { echo "</head><body>$email successfully validated: .</body></html>"; mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $email"); exit; } echo <<<_END <table class="contactform" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <th colspan="2" align="center">contactform</th> <tr><td colspan="2">Sorry, the following errors were found<br /> in your form: <p><font color=red size=1><i>$fail</i></font></p> </td></tr> <form method="post" action="shortform.php" onSubmit="return validate(this)"> <tr><td>Email</td><td><input type="text" maxlength="64" name="email" value="$email" /></td> </tr><tr><td colspan="2" align="center"> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /></td> </tr></form></table> _END; function validate_email($field) { if ($field == "") return "No Email was entered<br />"; else if (!((strpos($field, ".") > 0) && (strpos($field, "@") > 0)) || preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z0-9.@_-]/", $field)) return "The Email address is invalid<br />"; return ""; } function fix_string($string) { if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) $string = stripslashes($string); return htmlentities ($string); } ?> Ubuntu PHP Mysql So I got this form validator script online and I applied the validator part of it to my own form. My form requires a NAME and a SERIAL to be inputted and the SERIAL must be all numbers. I tested the validator by leaving NAME blank in my form and SERIAL all letters. The dispalyed resutls show the correct error messages: "Name : Please fill in a name for this computer." and "Serial : Please fill in a serial number for this computer." But the entry is still submitted with the errors and all. Here is my validator script. It begins by calling the script I got online which is from this website: http://www.html-form-guide.com/php-form/php-form-validation.html <?PHP require_once "formvalidator.php"; $validator = new FormValidator(); $validator->addValidation("Name","req","Please fill in a name for this computer."): $validator->addValidation("Serial","req","Please fill in a serial number for this computer"); $validator->addValidation("Serial","num","Serial number must be only numeric values"); if($validator->ValidateForm()) { echo "<h2>Validation Success!</h2>"; } else { echo "<B>Validation Errors:</B>"; $error_hash = $validator->GetErrors(); foreach($error_hash as $inpname => $inp_err) { echo "<p>$inpname : $inp_err</p>\n"; } } } ?> I have a html for that posts to a form processing script which is fully functional atm, in the processing script i have if statements, if the condition is met it updates tables in database, if there not met i echo a "not met" statment. problem is my form processing script just goes straight back to the index.php page using the following code; header('Location: index.php'); here is the form processing script: <?php session_start(); header('Location: index.php'); include "connect.php"; $id = $_SESSION['id']; $user = $_SESSION['user']; $ticketNumber = $_POST[ticketNumber]; //echo $_POST[ticketNumber]; $today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time() - 3600); // Query "Ticket" Table to check if user has purchased a "regular" ticket within the last 24 hours $query24hour = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tickets WHERE username = '$user' AND HOUR(TIMEDIFF(NOW() , purchaseDate)) < 24;") or die(mysql_error()); // Query "promoTickets" table to grab information of previous tickets bought to the "promotional" auction and LIMIT tickets to 1 per user for "promotional" auctions. $querySold = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM promoTickets WHERE promoID='$_POST[promoID]' AND (ticketNumber='$ticketNumber' OR username = '$user');") or die(mysql_error()); //echo $querySold; $sold = mysql_fetch_assoc($querySold); //print_r($sold); //echo $sold; //echo query24hour; $querycount24hour = mysql_num_rows($query24hour); //echo $querycount24hour; //check if ticket is sold and if user has purchased a "regular" ticket within 24 hours if(empty($sold)!=FALSE and $querycount24hour >= 1){ //Checks users balance to see if they have enough for the ticket $queryBal = mysql_query("SELECT user_iskbalance FROM users WHERE username = '$user';") or die(mysql_error()); //echo $querySold; //echo $user; //echo $queryBal; $balArray = mysql_fetch_assoc($queryBal); $bal = $balArray[user_iskbalance]; $newBal = $bal-$_POST[ticketPrice]; //check if he has the money to buy the ticket if($bal>=$_POST[ticketPrice]){ //remove the money $queryBalRemoveal = mysql_query("UPDATE `users` SET `user_iskbalance`='$newBal' WHERE `username`='$user';") or die(mysql_error()); //buy ticket & insert data into "promoTickets" table $query = mysql_query("INSERT INTO promoTickets(promoID, username, charID, ticketNumber, ticketPrice, purchaseDate) VALUES ('$_POST[promoID]', '$user', '$id', '$_POST[ticketNumber]', '$_POST[ticketPrice]', '$today');") or die(mysql_error()); } else{ die("Insufficent balance.

I have a basic form and I want to check for errors by making sure the user inputs everything, if not an error explaining to the user what needs to be fixed.

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>'; } 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.

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. 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! |
