Combo box help

krish80

Guys,

I have a couple of combo boxes with different values.
Can someone guide me how to validate these boxes so that the values of these boxes are different from each other.

This checks to make sure the values are not the same. If they are not required fields on the form, this will need an additional conditional to check if the fields are empty and prevent validation.

if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
     if( $_POST['box_1'] == $_POST['box_2'] ) {
          //set an error action of your choice here
     }
}

I get this error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_EQUAL

Paste that line from your file here, along with at least 5 lines before and after it. There's no syntax error in what I wrote, so something else is causing the error.

I guess this forum doesnt support pm's.
Plz send me your email address or you could also write to me at [email removed]

You might need a certain number of posts before you can PM. I just sent you an email you can reply to...

I have just you a mail with the code.

Is there a reason you couldn't just post a small snippet of code where the parse error is?

There isnt anything which cant be posted directly on the forum.
I need some validations to be done on a form and Pikachu2000 helped me with that thing.

I respect the thought that messages and emails shouldn't be the process to follow when you are on a forum and i will follow from now onwards.
