echo $_GET['missing'] shows one word only

[Evrim]

Hello

 

I have a php page that checks the values of a html form. If some elements of the form are missing or have incorrect format, it will display messages to the user.

 

1. My checkform.php page contains a code like:

 

$missing1 = "The following fields are missing: ";

if ($key=='gender' && empty($val)) {
$missing1 .= " Gender;  " ;  
echo $missing1;}	



if ($key=='address' && empty($val)) {
$missing1 .=  "Home address;  " ;  
echo $missing1; }

// More checks of the same type 

$togourl ="../errors.php?missing1=$missing1";
header("Location: $togourl");

 

2. In my errors.php I have:

 

<tr>
<td>
<?php
echo $_GET['missing1']; 
?>
</td>
</tr> 

 

 

1. The problem is that I only see one word in my errors.php, which is "The". When I remove the statement header("Location: $togourl") from my code, I see the missing1 var is correct (by checking echo in the code), but when displaying in second page I have a problem. Could you help me? Everything else (html) shows fine in the table of the second page.

 

2. What method you suggest so I store the missing fields in array and pass it on to errors.php and show it in several lines threre?

 

 

Many many thanks

Evrim

Try removing the echo statements, otherwise you're trying to redirect to another page after you've printed content to the page.

I would suggest creating an array of the errors and pass them as a single variable through the URL something like:

 

$error_array = array();

if ($key=='gender' && empty($val)) {
$error_array[] = "Gender" ; 
}   

if ($key=='address' && empty($val)) {
$error_array[] =  "Home address" ; 
}

$togourl ="../errors.php?missing1=".serialize($error_array);
header("Location: $togourl");

 

And in the errors.php

 

$error_array = unserialize($_GET["missing1"]); 
// Then do a loop to print out the items in the array
