    I have had a friend build a php page, with a form in it.  I am thinking he has used CSS for the formatting of it, and all of the text and the form fields stay in nice block format.  I would like them not to do that, is there a way to change that, and I hope you can tell from the code I have provided. Ken [code] <html> <head> <title>For Sale 4 U QUICK LISTER</title> <style type="text/css"> body {         background-color: Gainsboro;         margin: 0;         padding: 0;         font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;         font-size: 75%;         color: black; } table {         width: 96%;         display: block;         margin-left: auto;         margin-right: auto; } form {         width: 98%;         display: block;         margin-left: auto;         margin-right: auto; } .red {         color: Red; } .error {color:#C03; font-weight:bold; } h3 {         text-align: center;         color: Red;         font-weight: bold; } h4 {         text-align: center;         color: Blue;         font-weight: bold; } .center {         text-align: center; } .bold {         font-weight: bold; } [/code]

    Sometimes when you complete a form you have to enter a random code of numbers and letters to make sure that you are human.... what is this called and is it done in PHP or some other language? I have an online order form that we want to look at implementing this and am wondering if this is a complicated process? thanks, Ken

    It is definetely a form all on its own, so since the night isn't getting any younger, I guess, I will get oto work on it. Ken

    I have created an HTML form and one of the fields is a drop down menu with about 50 -60 choices, and in my infinite wisdom, when I created it, I created the order based on the option value, instead of the alphabetical name. Is there any easy way to ask for this to list them in an alphabetical order, or will I spend my Saturday evening, organizing them alphabetically. thanks, Ken

    The following is part of a file and I am wondering what the form.sb_buynow_price.value! means.  Is it referincing to another file, or is that a command to make something work? It is a buy now feature in an auction program and the buy now was working, and I paid someone to do some upgrades, and now the buy now feature appears when listing an item, but doesn't appear to th buyer to make a purchase.  I am thinking the stuff lower down that is referenced out (*/) is because I didn't want paypal to be a condition, but an option, so it was changed. Thanks, Ken if(form.sb_buynow_price.value!='')                 {                         if(isNaN(form.sb_buynow_price.value) || form.sb_buynow_price.value <= 0 )                         {                                 alert("Please specify positive nonzero value for Buy Now Price");                                 form.sb_buynow_price.focus();                                 return false;                         }                 /*        if( form.paypal_id.value=='')                ------disabled                         {                                 alert("You must specify Paypal Id for buy now option to work");                                 form.paypal_id.focus();                                 return false;                         }                         if (!emailCheck (form.paypal_id.value) )                         {                                 form.paypal_id.focus();                                 return (false);                         }*/                 }

    Is the following a bad choice in how I am getting my form validation done?  I got it from a tutorial, but am not having much success in getting it to work, so am wondering if it is more complicated than it needs to be, and I should quit trying to figure out why this won't work, and move on to a different method? Ken <?php /* sample.php */ require_once ('functions.php'); $valid = TRUE; if (isset ($_POST['Submit'])) {     foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {       $$key = $value;     }     $valid = $user = LettersAndDigits($id);     $title = Variable($item_title);     $valid = $valid && $title;     $category = ItemCategory($item_category);     $valid = $valid && $category;     $type = Variable($item_type);     $valid = $valid && $type;     $quantity = isDigits($quantity_available);     $valid = $valid && $quantity;     $price = Dollars($starting_bid);     $valid = $valid && $price;     $increment = BidIncrement($bid_increment);     $valid = $valid && $increment;     $reserve = ReservePrice($reserve_price);     $valid = $valid && $reserve;     $length = isDigits($duration);     $valid = $valid && $length;     $time = isDigits($end_time);     $valid =$valid && $time;     $relist = isLetters($auto_relist);     $valid = $valid && $relist;     $ct = Variable($city);     $valid = $valid && $ct;     $prov = Variable($state);     $valid = $valid && $prov;     $cntry = Variable($country);     $valid = $valid && $cntry;     $desc = Variable($item_description);     $valid = $valid && $desc;     $pay = EmailorEmpty($paypal_id);     $valid = $valid && $pay;     $hit = Variable($hit_counter);     $valid = $valid && $hit;       if ($valid) {         header ("uploadformconfirmation.html");         exit;       } } else {     $user = $title = $category = $type = $quantity = $price = $increment =     $reserve = $length =$time = $relist = $ct = $prov = $cntry = $desc = $pay =     $hit = TRUE;     $id = $item_title = $item_category = $item_type = $quantity_available =     $starting_bid = $bid_increment = $reserve_price = $duration = $end_time =     $auto_relist = $city = $state = $country = $item_description = $paypal_id =     $hit_counter = ''; } ?>

    When i load my script up on my local server (WAMP5) setup, I am getting the following item in all of my forms (where the results normally go), and am wondering if this is normal or I have an error along the way. They all show <?= $quantity_available ?>, where the actual wording is the same as whatever is in the value field, in the form. <td> <font size="2">&nbsp;    <td> <input type="text" name="quantity_available" size="3"         value="<?= $quantity_available ?>">    </td></font> Is this normal or have I got something not quite right?  If this is normal, would it appear normally when loaded onto the normal server, as this appears wherever you would normally fill in the blanks. Thanks, Ken

    I am grasping at straws here, but when I have the print_r at the very top and run it, I get array ( ) When I change it from true to false, I get array () 1 (a smaller sized 1) Don't know if this helps Ken
  9. kenwvs
    That is where I had it when the array (  ) came up, then I moved it thinking I might have it in the wrong spot Ken Would I then run the script and see what happens?  That is when I got the above line Ken
  10. kenwvs
    That is the name of the file that has both the form and the validation script in it.  It is one file with both parts in it and then I have a separate file called functions.php which has the various functions in it.
  11. kenwvs
    and here is the functions code Have I made this way more complicated than it needs to be.  I hae a perfectly working copy of this form in an html file, but wanted to have it validate..... so perhaps the tutorial I watched wasn't the best way to do this..... not sure, but I can't see that it needs to be this complicated....maybe it is just me in that I don't understand alot of the terminology.

    When I put the print_r in my script and run it I simply get      array                                                                                     (                                                                                       ) I am assuming this isn't good and something isn't quite right. When you say to see what is displayed, I put it in my PHP expert Editor and then hit run and this is what I see.  I do know that there is a submit button, and it is set up properly.  Ken

    I am hoping someone can explain how this isset command works. I think this is what is stopping my validaton from working, but I don't understand it. I got it from the validation tutorial on a site, and copied it, then made some modifications. [code] <?php /* sample.php */ require_once ('functions.php'); $valid = TRUE; if (isset ($_POST['Submit'])) { foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { $$key = $value; } $valid = $user = LettersAndDigits($id); $title = Variable($item_title); $valid = $valid && $title; $category = ItemCategory($item_category); $valid = $valid && $category; $type = Variable($item_type); $valid = $valid && $type; $quantity = isDigits($quantity_available); $valid = $valid && $quantity; $price = Dollars($starting_bid); $valid = $valid && $price; $increment = BidIncrement($bid_increment); $valid = $valid && $increment; $reserve = ReservePrice($reserve_price); $valid = $valid && $reserve; $length = isDigits($duration); $valid = $valid && $length; $time = isDigits($end_time); $valid =$valid && $time; $relist = isLetters($auto_relist); $valid = $valid && $relist; $ct = Variable($city); $valid = $valid && $ct; $prov = Variable($state); $valid = $valid && $prov; $cntry = Variable($country); $valid = $valid && $cntry; $desc = Variable($item_description); $valid = $valid && $desc; $pay = EmailorEmpty($paypal_id); $valid = $valid && $pay; $hit = Variable($hit_counter); $valid = $valid && $hit; if ($valid) { // header ("uploadformconfirmation.html"); exit; } } else { $user = $title = $category = $type = $quantity = $price = $increment = $reserve = $length =$time = $relist = $ct = $prov = $cntry = $desc = $pay = $hit = TRUE; $id = $item_title = $item_category = $item_type = $quantity_available = $starting_bid = $bid_increment = $reserve_price = $duration = $end_time = $auto_relist = $city = $state = $country = $item_description = $paypal_id = $hit_counter = ''; } ?> [/code]

    I have the validation script to the point of not generating errors, but when I try it out, it only validates on field (there are 16).  For some reason it is validating the 3rd field which is called item_category.  This field is a drop down box, and the two fields before it are text boxes.  I have included the code up to and including the 3rd field. (to save room) [code] <?php /* validation.php */ require_once ('functions.php'); $valid = TRUE; if (isset ($_POST['Submit'])) {     foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) {       $$key = $value;     }     $valid = $user = LettersAndDigits($id);     $title = Variable($item_title);     $valid = $valid && $title;     $category = ItemCategory($item_category);     $valid = $valid && $category;     $type = Variable($item_type);     $valid = $valid && $type;     $quantity = isDigits($quantity_available);     $valid = $valid && $quantity;     $price = Dollars($starting_bid);     $valid = $valid && $price;     $increment = BidIncrement($bid_increment);     $valid = $valid && $increment;     $reserve = ReservePrice($reserve_price);     $valid = $valid && $reserve;     $length = isDigits($duration);     $valid = $valid && $length;     $time = isDigits($end_time);     $valid =$valid && $time;     $relist = isLetters($auto_relist);     $valid = $valid && $relist;     $ct = Variable($city);     $valid = $valid && $ct;     $prov = Variable($state);     $valid = $valid && $prov;     $cntry = Variable($country);     $valid = $valid && $cntry;     $desc = Variable($item_description);     $valid = $valid && $desc;     $pay = EmailorEmpty($paypal_id);     $valid = $valid && $pay;     $hit = Variable($hit_counter);     $valid = $valid && $hit;       if ($valid) {         echo "Form filled successfully!";         exit;       } } else {     $user = $title = $category = $type = $quantity = $price = $increment =     $reserve = $length =$time = $relist = $ct = $prov = $cntry = $desc = $pay =     $hit = TRUE;     $id = $item_title = $item_category = $item_type = $quantity_available =     $starting_bid = $bid_increment = $reserve_price = $duration = $end_time =     $auto_relist = $city = $state = $country = $item_description = $paypal_id =     $hit_counter = ''; } ?> <body bgcolor="#F5F3F5"> <p align="center"><b><font face="Arial" size="3" color="#0000FF">Quick Lister</font></b></p> <p align="center"><b><font face="Arial" color="#FF0000">For Sale 4 U - Canada's Online Auction</font></b></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Please note:&nbsp; </b>You may not use characters such as $, #, &quot;, &amp;, *,/, etc.&nbsp; It is best to use normal text and numerical characters only.&nbsp; <?php if (!$valid) { ?> <style type="text/css"> td.error {color:C03; font-weight:bold; } </style> Please correct the items in red and resubmit.<br /><br /> <?php } ?> <form method="POST" action="uploadformcomplete.php"> <HR> <tr>     <td> <font size="2"<?php if(!$user) echo 'class="error"'; ?>> User ID:     </td></font>     <td> <font size="2">&nbsp;<font face="Arial"><input type="text" name="id"         size="12" value="<?= $id ?>"     </td></font>     <td> &nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="2">You must use the <B>same User ID</B>         for all items you are uploading during this session.</font>         <font size="2">(It does not have to be your regular username.)     </td><BR><P> </font> </tr> <tr>     <td><font face="Arial"><font size="2"<?php if(!$title) echo         'class="error"'; ?>>  Item Title:     </td></font>     <td><font size="2">&nbsp;<input type="text" name="item_title"         size="60" value="<?= $item_title ?>"     </td></font>     <td> <font size="2"<?php if(!$category) echo 'class="error"'; ?>>&nbsp;         Item Category:     </td></font>     <td> <select size="1" name="item_category" value="<?= $item_category ?>">         <option value="000">Please Select Category</option>         <option value="150">Antiques</option>         <option value="18">Automobiles - Cars</option>         <option value="75">Home and Garden - Lawnmowers</option>         <option value="76">Home and Garden - Rototillers</option> [/code] Thanks for the help Ken

    Thanks for the tips, they are appreciated.  A question for clarification please. You are correct that these functions will be used with another script (different page).  Is it a good idea to include these in the same page, or keep them separate.  I followed through a tutorial on form validation (from a different site) and they suggested keeping it separate so I can reuse these functions on different pages in the future. If these functions will be used to validate a page, but each one is independent of the others, can I still eliminate all of the <?php and ?> tags? Thanks for the help Ken
  19. kenwvs
    look at the original script posted and how all the brackets are at the edge, and then look at the example with the correction, how the brackets are indented.  The indentations all go together with the bracket, so you can then see where the brackets start and stop, and you can tell if you are missing one.
  20. kenwvs
    On the program I did indent, haven't done this one yet, as I have been up all night trying to figure it all out.  This is the first script I have really written, and am going to indent this yet.

    This is the last function in my file, and this error is coming up on the last line, which contains just the ?> If I remove this function, then it gives me the error at the end of the previous one, so I am thinking it might have to do with not ending the file.  I have tried putting </Body> and </HTML> as they are also at the start of the file, and then I tried deleting them from the start and end, but no luck....Looking for an idea on this. thanks, Ken [code] <?php function ItemCategory($category)    {          // Verify Valid Category $item_category = $_POST['item_category']; if($item_category == "000")//assumes you gave it the value 000 { echo "Please select a valid category"; exit; } } ?> [/code]

    These are the functions that I am using in my form.  I am not sure if I have written them correctly or not, as I got the gist of it from a tutorial at another site, and then went out on my own.  If you want to browse and let me know where I have gone wrong that would be great. I have a feeling this tutorial that is for form validation may not have taken the most direct route, so it may not look totally normal.

    Positive versus Negative Depending on whether you want it to come back true or false?
  25. kenwvs
    I have written the following function, hoping to achieve that it will only allow letters, numbers, spaces, comma, and period.  I don;t want it to allow any special characters like & $ brackets *  All the shift number characters basically need to be disallowed. [code] <?php function Variable($element) {                       //letters, numbers, spaces   return !preg_match ("/[^A-z0-9,.] /", $element);//commas and periods only } ?> [/code] Thanks, Ken
