dont show the form if it has been sucessfully processed.

[Shaun]

Ok, so I have simple form here that I want to do this with.

 

when the from is sent, and the $msg is displayed, how do  I hide the form under neath it when it succeeds, and show it when it fails?

 

<? 
if (!empty($email))
{
  $result = mysql_query("Select * from users where email='$email'");
	$totnum = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($totnum>0)
{
		$pw = mysql_result($result,0,"pw") ;
		include('pwmail.php');
	$msg='success';
}
else
$msg="failer";

}

?>

<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="left">
      <h3 class="lthead">Forgot your password? </h3>
    </div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><?=$msg?><br />
    Enter your email address:<br />
      <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
        <input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" />
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Get it" />
      </form>
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Ok ive just tried:

 

<? 
if (!empty($email))
{
  $result = mysql_query("Select * from users where email='$email'");
	$totnum = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($totnum>0)
{
		$pw = mysql_result($result,0,"pw") ;
		include('pwmail.php');
	$msg='You password has been sent!';
	$state=1;
}
else
$msg="error;
$state=0;

}

?>

<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="left">
      <h3>Forgot your password? </h3>
    </div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><?=$msg?><br />
    <? if($state==1)
	{?>
		<? }else{?>
	Enter your email address.<br />
      <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
        <input name="email" type="text" id="email" size="30" />
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Get it" />
      </form>
	<? }?>
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>

      $totnum = mysql_num_rows($result);

   if($totnum>0)
   {
         $pw = mysql_result($result,0,"pw") ;
         include('pwmail.php');
      $msg='success';
   }
   else
   $msg="failer";

}

if(isset($_POST['email']) && $msg == "success"){ ?>
<table width="300" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="left">
      <h3 class="lthead">Forgot your password? </h3>
    </div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><?=$msg?><br />
    Enter your email address:<br />
      <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">

Wait wait wait.  Are you programming with register_globals on?

[Shaun]

according to php info

 

register_globals On On

 

? you have me worried. :S

You should be.  register_globals was one of the stupidest things that the PHP development team ever concocted.  What it does is it fills variables based on things from GET, POST, and COOKIES, and it can mess up your variables and make scripts insecure.  Do you pay for hosting or is this your own server?

[Shaun]

I have my own server, I havent put this script live on it yet. It is just sitting on my home pc.

 

Ive just googled and I guess im going to have to re code a lot of things..

[DarkWater]

Yeah, and be sure to take register_globals off while you're at it.
