FORM PROBLEMS STILL!

rayge

Well i got my form to where it wont show the errors until its submitted, But i cant figure out how to make the form POST to a different page if all fields are validated.

I TRIED somthing like after the beginning of the if in each error to add somthing like
$error=$error+1

then where the Form line was i added somthing like
<?
If ($error = 0) { ?>
<form method="POST" name="Signup" action="test.php">
<? } Else { ?>
<form method="POST" name="Signup" action="validate.php">
<? } ?>

but it didnt work
CAN ANYONE HELP ME HERE? Thanks

Try 2 = instead: If ($error == 0) { ?>

Well that kinda worked.. But now after the first submit it will goto the new page even if i enter nothing which SHOULD add 1 to $error.. ANy ideas?

amcgrath

can you paste the script logic that u use to set $error variable?

Anon

i recommend the following

<?
if ($submit) {
//check inputs and increase $errorNr by 1 if an error occurs
}

if (!$submit || $errorNr > 1) {
//place here your form
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
} else {
//print "thank you" or something or
//redirect to another page with header("Location: xxx.php");
}

Well I need to POST to another page with data like Username, password, And a WHOLE lot of other items so i dont think the header will work in this case. am i correct in this assumption?

Also i have submit set so it doesnt show error information unless submitted so the first time its loaded it shows just the fields.

SO would this methos your talking about still work?

Okay but what im realising Is that the <form> tak must be at teh top and for the Variable to really work the Redirection part needs to be at the bottom before the submit button.. I THOUGHT this would be simple but being a newbie i was wrong.

Heres my mess
and its just a test page for now and i changed a few things hoping it would work but no such luck.

<?
include("config.php");
?>

<head>
<title>   Sign-Up   |   KubeMail: E-Mail now has a Third Dimension</title>

<? if ($signup) { ?>

<body>
<?

If ($error == -1) { ?>
<form method="POST" name="Signup" action="test.php">
<? } ?>
<? If ((empty($error) or ($error > 0))) {?>
<form method="POST" name="Signup" action="edit2.php">
<? } ?>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td colspan=2>
<?
if ($FirstName=='') { ?>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FF0000">No First Name Entered. Please Enter your First Name</font><br>
<? }?>
<?
if ($LastName=='') { ?>
<font face="Arial" size="2" color="#FF0000">No Last Name Entered. Please Enter your Last Name</font></p>
<? } ?>
<?
if(($FirstName == '') or ($LastName == '')){
$error=$error+1
?>

  </td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td width="111"><font class="sbd" size="2" face="Arial">First Name*</font></td>
  <td width="189">
    <input type="text" class="Wf" name="FirstName" size=23 maxlength=40 style="background:#D7D7D7" value="<? print ("$FirstName"); ?>">
  </td>
  <td bgcolor="#D7D7D7" rowspan=2 width="256"><font class="s" size="2" face="Arial">Your full name
    will be sent with all outbound mail messages.</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>

  <td width="111"><font class="sbd" size="2" face="Arial">Last Name*</font></td>
  <td width="189">
    <input type="text" class="Wf" name="LastName" size=23 maxlength=40 style="background:#D7D7D7" value="<? print ("$LastName"); ?>">
  </td>
</tr>

<?
} else { $error=$error-1
?>

<?
} else {
?>
<form method="POST" name="Signup" action="<? $PHP_SELF ?>">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="111"><font class="sbd" size="2" face="Arial">First Name</font></td>
<td width="189">
<input type="text" class="Wf" name="FirstName" size=23 maxlength=40 style="background:#D7D7D7" value="<? print ("$FirstName"); ?>">

<td bgcolor="#D7D7D7" rowspan=2 width="256"><font class="s" size="2" face="Arial">Your full name

</td>
<td><input type="submit" name="signup" value="Sign Up!"></td>
</form>
<?}?>

Okay i think the issue is that I need to use somthing other than <form> so the submission will work properly.

ANy suggestions?

Thanks

Anon

look at my sniplet of code. you say

if (!submit || $errNr > 1)

means, show the form either if !$submit (if not submitted) or (||) if an error has occured ($errNr > 0)

then you could could say at the else-part
header("Loaction: newpage.php?name=$name&password=$password");

hope it works...

rayge

You still dont seem to understand.. Thats a small piece of code i put in there.. i have liek 20 fields or more in this form and i dont wanna pass the password over an html?= type method.

Im wondering if maybe a javascript method might work? im just grasping at straws after 6 days.
