Tx! Very helpful

I'm getting a syntax error in the link, and I just don't know what to do with it.

I have a page with links to images. Currently the images open in a blank browser window, and I think this is too plain. I don't want to create an HTML file for each image. I want to have an 'image display php file' - img_temp.php. Along with the reference to the image file, in the link, I want to also be able to send a <title> to the template file. I think the code below shows kinda' what I'm trying to do, and also shows that I don't quite have a grasp on how to do it. Any tips would be appreciated. Index Page (index.php) <html> <head> <title>Gallery Links</title> </head> <body> <!-- This is the page with the links to the images --> <ul> <li><a href="img_temp.php?file=images/01.jpg<?php ?title = "This is image 1"?>">Image 01</a></li> </ul> </body> </html> Image Display Template (img_temp.php) <html> <head> <title><?php echo $title ?></title> </head> <body> <!-- This is the page that displays the sent image and displays the appropriate doc title --> <?php //Output the image $file echo $file; ?> </body> </html>

HAAAA! You sir are a genius! I would never figured that out.

USER AGREES TO HOLD BENJAMINKEEN.COM HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES. \*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Function: validateFields() Purpose: generic form field validation. Parameters: field - the POST / GET fields from a form which need to be validated. rules - an array of the validation rules. Each rule is a string of the form: "[if:FIELDNAME=VALUE,]REQUIREMENT,fieldname[,fieldname2 [,fieldname3, date_flag]],error message" if:FIELDNAME=VALUE, This allows us to only validate a field only if a fieldname FIELDNAME has a value VALUE. This option allows for nesting; i.e. you can have multiple if clauses, separated by a comma. They will be examined in the order in which they appear in the line. Valid REQUIREMENT strings are: "required" - field must be filled in "digits_only" - field must contain digits only "is_alpha" - field must only contain alphanumeric characters (0-9, a-Z) "custom_alpha" - field must be of the custom format specified. fieldname: the name of the field fieldname2: a character or sequence of special characters. These characters are: L An uppercase Letter. V An uppercase Vowel. l A lowercase letter. v A lowercase vowel. D A letter (upper or lower). F A vowel (upper or lower). C An uppercase Consonant. x Any number, 0-9. c A lowercase consonant. X Any number, 1-9. E A consonant (upper or lower). "reg_exp" - field must match the supplied regular expression. fieldname: the name of the field fieldname2: the regular expression fieldname3: (optional) flags for the reg exp (like i for case insensitive "letters_only" - field must only contains letters (a-Z) "length=X" - field has to be X characters long "length=X-Y" - field has to be between X and Y (inclusive) characters long "length>X" - field has to be greater than X characters long "length>=X" - field has to be greater than or equal to X characters long "length<X" - field has to be less than X characters long "length<=X" - field has to be less than or equal to X characters long "valid_email" - field has to be valid email address "valid_date" - field has to be a valid date fieldname: MONTH fieldname2: DAY fieldname3: YEAR date_flag: "later_date" / "any_date" "same_as" - fieldname is the same as fieldname2 (for password comparison) "range=X-Y" - field must be a number between the range of X and Y inclusive "range>X" - field must be a number greater than X "range>=X" - field must be a number greater than or equal to X "range<X" - field must be a number less than X "range<=X" - field must be a number less than or equal to X Comments: With both digits_only, valid_email and is_alpha options, if the empty string is passed in it won't generate an error, thus allowing validation of non-required fields. So, for example, if you want a field to be a valid email address, provide validation for both "required" and "valid_email". \*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ function validateFields($fields, $rules) { $errors = array(); // loop through rules for ($i=0; $i<count($rules); $i++) { // split row into component parts $row = explode(",", $rules[$i]); // while the row begins with "if:..." test the condition.

@ Pikachu2000 LOL. Oh! You meant what you typed, go figure It seems to be working fine. So, why would some crazy joker say I should put that PHP_SELF nonsense in the file - Although, I might have found it in a thread from 2004... who knows??
-
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean remove Method and Name? And just use the Action??
-
I guess I should have mentioned that the second pages basically uses the same setup as the first.

8)Thanks for the superfast reply I hope what I post below is what you are asking for. If you need more just let a brother know! $errors = array(); // set the errors array to empty, by default $fields = array(); // stores the field values $success_message = ""; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // import the validation library require("validation.php"); $rules = array(); // stores the validation rules // standard form fields $rules[] = "required,first_name,Enter your name."; $rules[] = "required,email,Enter your email address."; $rules[] = "valid_email,email,Please enter a valid email address."; // Length of field input $rules[] = "length=10,phone,Please enter a ten digit Phone number."; $errors = validateFields($_POST, $rules); // if there were errors, re-populate the form fields if (!empty($errors)) { $fields = $_POST; } // no errors! redirect the user to the thankyou page (or whatever) else { $message = "All fields have been validated successfully!"; // here you would either email the form contents to someone or store it in a database. // To redirect to a "thankyou" page, you'd just do this: $to = "info@fieldsof.corn"; $subject = "Most Amazing Email Form Ever"; $field_first = $_POST['first_name']; $field_email = $_POST['email']; $field_phone = $_POST['phone']; $body = "Name: $field_first\n Email: $field_email\n Phone: $field_phone\n "; // Send the mail using PHPs mail() function mail($to, $subject, $body); header("Location:customize_search.php"); } } Then the form starts: <form name="infoget" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <fieldset> Then inside the form, I'm using: // if $errors is not empty, the form must have failed one or more validation // tests. Loop through each and display them on the page for the user if (!empty($errors)) { echo "<div class='error' style='width:90%;'>Please fix the following errors:\n<ul>"; foreach ($errors as $error) echo "<li>$error</li>\n"; echo "</ul></div>"; } if (!empty($message)) { echo "<div class='notify'>$success_message</div>"; } Then a little bit of this: <label for="first_name">Name * <input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" value="<?=$_POST['first_name']?>" /> </label> And finally: <input class="button" type="image" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit" src="images/send.gif" width="192" height="69" /> <input type="hidden" name="submit" value="submit" />

Hello playERZ' So, I have a dinky contact form that validates and uses: <form name="infoget" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> to validate the form via an external validate.php, then generate the email. Finally: // Send the mail using PHPs mail() function mail($to, $subject, $body); header("Location:customize_search.php"); So, this takes the user to a more advanced form after they 'send' the first form. 1 - Is it possible to have the second form autofill with the POSTed data and NOT use MySQL or database whatever? 2 - If so, how??
