That seems to be a much better solution

Wondering if anyone had any idea where I could tidy this script up or even if there's any obvious flaws <?php $open = fsockopen("00.00.00.00", "0000"); if ($open) { fputs($open, "GET /7.html HTTP/1.1\nUser-Agent:Mozilla\n\n"); $read = fread($open, 1000); $one = explode(",", $read); $one = $one[1]; $one = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $one); $two = explode(",", $read); $two = $two[2]; $two = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $two); $three = explode(",", $read); $three = $three[3]; $three = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $three); $four = explode(",", $read); $four = $four[4]; $four = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $four); $five = explode(",", $read); $five = $five[5]; $five = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $five); $six = explode(",", $read); $six = $six[6]; $six = str_replace("</body></html>", "", $six); } ?>

That works an absolute treat

That looks like it may well do the job. Will try it out in the morning and get back to you if anything else gets in the way thanks

I'm happy to try work on a new way about making this, any snippets people can throw in that will make this safer etc?

Nope I believe it is because the first if statement is completely wrong, I just want it check the the field after it has been trimmed (to see if it is empty) but I'm not sure how to do it

This was a jQuery question I posted up on the jQuery forums, but they seem to be pretty rubbish at getting back to you :-\ Also I know it's not coded correctly I have just written the principles of what I'm trying to achieve if you get me I want when the user clicks on the button with the class of ".submit" to first check the text field ".message" to see if it has any input at all and if none display the alert, if there is input then run the process function "messageProcess" $(".submit").click(function() { if(!$.trim(".message").length){ alert("Please enter a message!"); } else(messageProcess) }); Any help will be much appreciated

yes and yes, sorry I didn't explain it a bit more. You can put that either in the script tags or include through an external .js file, either way will work just as well and yes you can change the ID tag "#form" to what ever the form is called. If you get stuck any more just post the code you got so far and I'll quickly implement it for you, good luck

I used both of these before if it's of any use to you Both of these use the jQuery framework... Username Availability: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/CheckAvailability Password Strength: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/password_strength

You could maybe use this piece I made up the other day? Hope it helps $(function() { $("#form_submit").click(function() { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "your_php_script.php", data: $("#form").serialize(), success: function(){ $('#form').html("<div id='message'>Success!</div>") //this part replaces the contents of "#form" with either a success DIV or you could just display "" } }); return false; }); });

I'm just wondering if someone could give me a hand with some validation on a form I have set up for a shoutbox. Below is the script I have made up to check on the click of "#shout_submit" and post the data through another script on the site, what I'm after is if someone could give me an example or some pointers as to how I can maybe use the else if statements as in php to firstly check the form has been filled out, if not display a warning using the alert feature in java prompting to input the name and message or if successful just carry on and process the code below. I have tried a few things but they didn't work and also kept refreshing the page on submit, any help would be highly appreciated! $(function() { $("#shout_submit").click(function() { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "get.php?shout", data: $("#shoutbox_form").serialize(), success: function(){ $('#shouts').load('get.php?shouts=5'); $('#shoutbox_form')[0].reset(); } }); return false; }); });

Sorry that removes backslashes

Could you not just use stripslashes() to remove slashes

bump...

Below I have a script I have quickly whipped up to show you the principles of what I am on about. Pretty straight forward, #shouts div includes shouts.php with shouts from shoutbox, jquery refreshes the #shouts div with the contents from shout.php every X amount of seconds... All is well and works fine but I am a bit fussy when it comes to the little details, basically you can scroll through the shouts in the div fine while it is refreshing them constantly BUT, would anyone know if it is even possibly to stop the refresh from loosing focus ie when you highlight some text in the div and it refreshes your text will still be highlighted?

BUMP was just about to post this exact question, if someone could help us it be much appreciated
