j5uh Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I have a form that i'm working with and once you hit register it shows 2 footers. How can I fix this? Here is what i have: <?php // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("xx", "xx", "xx") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("xx") or die(mysql_error()); //This code runs if the form has been submitted if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //This makes sure they did not leave any fields blank if (!$_POST['firstname'] | !$_POST['lastname'] | !$_POST['address'] | !$_POST['city'] | !$_POST['state'] | !$_POST['zipcode'] | !$_POST['email'] ) { die('You did not complete all of the required fields'); } // checks if the email is in use if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['email'] = addslashes($_POST['email']); } $usercheck = $_POST['email']; $check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM xx WHERE email = '$usercheck'") or die(mysql_error()); $check2 = mysql_num_rows($check); //if the name exists it gives an error if ($check2 != 0) { die('Sorry, the E-mail '.$_POST['email'].' is already in use.'); } // now we insert it into the database $insert = "INSERT INTO xx (firstname, lastname, address, city, state, zipcode, country, phone, email) VALUES ('".$_POST['firstname']."', '".$_POST['lastname']."', '".$_POST['address']."', '".$_POST['city']."', '".$_POST['state']."', '".$_POST['zipcode']."', '".$_POST['country']."', '".$_POST['phone']."', '".$_POST['email']."')"; $add_member = mysql_query($insert); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/main.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/typography.css" /> </head> <body> <!-- Begin Wrapper --> <div id="wrapper"> <!-- Begin Logo --> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <!-- End Header --> <!-- Begin Navigation --> <div id="navigation"> <div align="center"> <?php include("nav.php"); ?> </div> </div> <!-- End Navigation --> <!-- Begin Left Column --> <!-- Begin background --> <div id="background"> <div id="leftcolumn"> Left Column </div> <!-- End Left Column --> <!-- Begin Right Column --> <div id="rightcolumn"> <h3>Attendee Registration </h3> <p> Thank you for your registration.

poleposters Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 You've got your enter/exit PHP of fiddly. Because both sections of your HTML that contain the footer are outside of the php code they are both being rendered. It doesn't matter that you have entered php to create the else statement in between them. All you need to do is put your HTML into php using print or echo. e.g print "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/main.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/typography.css" /> </head> <body> <!-- Begin Wrapper --> <div id="wrapper"> <!-- Begin Logo --> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <!-- End Header --> <!-- Begin Navigation --> <div id="navigation">"; Although you'll probably have to turn every " into '.
