form fields

chinni_77

Hello,

I display some fields from a table on a form and then i deleted the records from the table manually.Now, when i run the form again, i dont see the records but i see the empty form fields(textboxes, check boxes and so on..).How can i avoid this?

Many thanks

I'd like to offer a suggestion. But I have absolutely no idea what your form is doing.

Please reread your posting and think about how someone who's never seen your code could answer it.

hi tom,

I am really surprised as my explanation was'nt clear.well, ne way here it goes what exactly i mean.

1.I have a table with records in a database .
2.I am trying to display all the records from my table on a form.

So far everything is fine.

3.Now, i deleted the records from my table.

4.What do you think my form would look like when i run the form again, as far as i know it would be blank as there are no records in my table.

5.BUT, Unfortunately, i see "EMPTY" text boxes on my form.

Though it does'nt display any records from my table, i still see those ugly empty form field(Text box).I want to avoid this empty stuff.

Hope i expressed my self clearly.

Let me hazard a wild stab in the dark as to what you mean:

You've empried the values held in your dbtable and now when you display the page which had a form with text fields containing that data, the form structure is still displayed but the textfields are empty (blank). Correct so far??

What do you want to occur when there is no value?

Do you want the form field to simply not be visible???

if so then:

if ($field != "") {
echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" size=\"30\" value=\"$field\">";
};

This should display the form field only if there is a corresponding value assigned to $field

Exactly siwis!!

But, where should i put up the code:-/

well, here is one of the form filed:

<input type="text" name="rfpi[<?=$counter?>]" value="<?=$rfpi?>">

I'm using arrays:-p

Thanks any way

<?PHP
if ($rfpi != "") {
?>
<input type="text" name="rfpi[<?=$counter?>]" value="<?=$rfpi?>">
<?PHP
};
?>

Just place the above in where your current field tag exists.
