[SOLVED] Form troubles with PHP in IE

[dvdflashbacks]

Hi,

 

I have a couple of forms that are not working correctly, but only in IE.  The forms work fine in Safari and in Firefox.  I also have used these forms in the past on another site and those work correctly in IE.  I am really stumped on this.

 

Can anyone take a look at this and see what I have done wrong.

 

The forms can be found at:

 

http://www.thehealthjournals.com/register.php

http://www.thehealthjournals.com/forgotpass.php

 

And these same forms working correctly in IE (different layout and CSS) can be found at:

 

http://www.nothingaboutnothing.com/admin/register.php

http://www.nothingaboutnothing.com/forgotpass.php

 

Thanks.

oh, sorry.  If you look at this these forms in Safari/Firefox and submit with out filling out or filling out incorrectly, you will see the error messages as appropriate.  But in IE if you submit with errors or blank, the index.php page just loads as if nothing happened.

can you post some code?

Sorry, here is the code for the register form:

<?php
/**
* The user is already logged in, not allowed to register.
*/
if($session->logged_in){
   echo "<h1>Registered</h1>";
   echo "<p>We're sorry <b>$session->username</b>, but you've already registered. "
       ."<a href=\"index.php\">Main</a>.</p>";
}
/**
* The user has submitted the registration form and the
* results have been processed.
*/
else if(isset($_SESSION['regsuccess'])){
   /* Registration was successful */
   if($_SESSION['regsuccess']){
      echo "<h1>Registered!</h1>";
      echo "<p>Thank you <b>".$_SESSION['reguname']."</b>, your account has been sent 'Somewhere' to be added into 'Nothing.'<br /> "
          ."You will now receive an email from 'Someone', asking you to activate your account.  Please check your email and activate your account before attemptig to login.<br /><br />"
  ."You can now go back to the <a href=\"index.php\">Main Page.</a>.</p>";
   }
   /* Registration failed */
   else{
      echo "<h1>Registration Failed</h1>";
      echo "<p>We're sorry, but an error has occurred and your registration for the username <b>".$_SESSION['reguname']."</b>, "
          ."could not be completed.<br>Please try again at a later time.</p>";
   }
   unset($_SESSION['regsuccess']);
   unset($_SESSION['reguname']);
}
/**
* The user has not filled out the registration form yet.
* Below is the page with the sign-up form, the names
* of the input fields are important and should not
* be changed.
*/
else{
?>

make sure to replace all of your opening php statements (<?) with this <?php see if that helps

Firefox seems to ignore a lot of form errors where IE will usually always die.

 

Chances are your FORM layout has errors.

 

Run a HTML Validator against it and find out.

Thanks.

 

I highly doubt this is a PHP issue, this is more related to CSS/HTML. php does not have anything to do with the client side other than providing data.

This is NOT a php issue.

Ok, sorry.  I tried verifying the markup in DW, and it said no errors.  But I then checked with another validator online and it had a bunch of errors.  But I am not sure how to fix them.

 

Thanks anyways.

Well that would depend on the errors.  Post some of them in the HTML Help area and see if you can get some help.
