Submitting a form

bettyatolive · July 13, 2006

I have a form with 25 controls in it. I need to submit the form if atleast one of it's value is not null i.e. If all the values are null then the form should not be submitted. If either one of the control of the form is not null then the form should be submitted.
Can somebody help me out how to do tht Plz...???

if((!$username) || (!$password) || (!$number))
{

if(!$username)
{
$error .= "<tr><td>You have not entered your username.</td></tr>";
}
if(!$password)
{
$error .= "<tr><td>You have not entered your password.</td></tr>";
}
if(!$number)
{
$error .= "<tr><td>You have not entered the verification code.</td></tr>";
}

}

use the above putting all your posts into it, that checks if either are empty then

if($error)
{
echo"there is an error";
}
else
{
echo"there is no error";
}

<patTemplate:tmpl name="AgentActivityForm">
<script language="javascript">

function validate()
{
var agree=confirm("Are you sure you wish to Continue");

return false ;

well thats me out then, cause i don't know

GingerRobot · July 13, 2006

The only way i could think of doing this would be to check every item in the POST array:
[code]
<?php
foreach($_POST as $check){
if (empty($check) && $check !="submit")//the name of your submit button
{
$num++;
}
}
if($num != 0)
{
echo "all fields are empty";
}else{
echo "not all fields are empty";
}
?>
[/code]
