bigray

i made it in html n in php i want this to show when i put it wont show

<?

zmola

maybe...

<? 
echo "
<input type=submit name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"> 
<INPUT TYPE=\"reset\" VALUE=\"Reset\">
";
?>

edit: need that > after Reset\"

wouldn't it be a lot easier to use single quotes? it all runs the same...

I mean rather than

<? 
echo "
<input type=submit name=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\"> 
<INPUT TYPE=\"reset\" VALUE=\"Reset\">
";
?>

you could use

<? 
echo "
<input type=submit name='submit' value='Submit'> 
<INPUT TYPE='reset' VALUE='Reset'>
";
?>

It's all the same... and using single quotes uses a lot less keystrokes...

Or while he was already not using php there, why add more code?

//to end php code and begin html
?>
<input type=submit name="submit" value="Submit"> 
<INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Reset" =>
<?
//begin php again

fleshbox

very true... very true indeed....

one more thing how can i make it when someone doesnt put anything in the form and clicks submit it says error need to put sn to submit

fleshbox

I am actually working on that exact thing....

this is basically what I have done...

<?
$form_data = "
<FORM ACTION='this_page.php' METHOD='post'>
NAME:&nbsp;<INPUT TYPE='text' NAME='name'>
<INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='check' VALUE='1'>
<INPUT TYPE='submit'>
";

if ($check) {
     if (!$name) {
          echo "Please enter a name.";
          echo $form_data;
     }
     else {
          echo "your name is $name!";
     }
}
else echo $form_data;

Of course you will have more fields than this, but it's the same basic thing. What I am now encountering is the use of multiple error codes and error messages stored inside a db.... trying to get specific form fields to turn yellow if they are not filled out... of course this is like maybe 40 lines of code in a total of over 1100 so far.... so it's really a little problem 🙂

Hope that helps
