mad lip

dj9_86

I'm able to do this in asp but i get no ideal how it do it in php (customer's server doesn't support asp.)

My customer wants to add a mad lip to he's site. So it would say something like:

Hi I'm (YOUR NAME)...

then a form to put in your answers, then a preview button. So you get:

Hi I'm DJ 9-86

Any help will be appreciated. 🙂

You might want to have a look at this tutorial: http://www.tizag.com/phpT/forms.php

Basically build your mad lip, and a form. the processing is where the PHP comes in where you verify the $POST data (if using method="post" for the form) and then insert it into the mad lip. $POST is an array that will be populated with the data from the form, where the keys are the field names. Consider this:

<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="name" /><br />
<input type="text" name="color" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<br />
<br />

<?php

if( isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name']) ) {
   $name = $_POST['name'];
} else {
   $name = '(Name)';
}
if( isset($_POST['color']) && !empty($_POST['color']) ) {
   $color = $_POST['color'];
} else {
   $color = '(Color)';
}

echo "Hello my name is $name and my eyes are $color";

Run this on your code on a page and you will see it work =D before you submit the form you will see this output:

Hello my name is (Name) and my eyes are (Color)

Then after filling the form with say Dennis and blue and submitting you would see:

Hello my name is Dennis and my eyes are blue

It is going to consist of two parts. An HTML form and a PHP processing script. You can use javascript or jquery to validate the form before sending, so that all required fields are filled in. This is your generic form:

<form method="POST" action="script.php">
  What is your name?
  <input type="text" name="userName" />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Here is your generic processing script:

//get the posted name
$userName=$_POST['userName'];

// sample text with placemarker
$text = "Hello <<name>>!  Welcome to the site!";

// simple string replace
$newText=str_replace("<<name>>","$userName",$text);

// display the text
echo $newText;

This does not do any string cleaning, nor does it provide any protection against any hacking, but it does show the mechanics of how it works.
