Reaper0167 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 i had a post a few days ago about a register script and we finally got that all figured out. but right now when the user doesn't fill in all three of the fields it directs them to another page with a message saying that the field was not filled in. and well, it just doesn't look professional. what i am hoping we can do is get the message to appear next to the field that was not filled in. i was told that this can not be done using PHP and javascript must be used. is that true? can anyone help me out here? thanks, Reaper. Oh yeh, here is what i got so far <?php //connection to your database include ("connection.php"); // define variables from register form $username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["username"]); $password = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["password"]); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST["email"]); $encrypted_password = md5($password); // display message if field is empty if (empty($username)) { echo "Please enter a username."; } elseif (empty($password)) { echo "Please enter a password."; } elseif (empty($email)) { echo "Please enter a valid email."; } else { // take user to a page after registration header("location:thanks.php"); } if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // inserting data into your database $sql = "INSERT INTO $tbl_name(username, password, email)VALUES('$username','$encrypted_password','$email')"; $res = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); // closes your connection mysql_close(); } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/138373-need-help-displaying-a-message/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
