Pop up error msg in php code

[justspiffy]

Hey guys,

 

Just a quick questions Im wondering if someone can help me with. I have created a form and it uses CAPTCHA to verify the person filling out the form is human. If they will the form out and put the wrong word into the CAPCTHA field, it loads an error on a new page that says "he reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." What i would like it to do, instead of loading in a new page and them losing the information they have put in the form, is for a pop up to come up and give the error instead.

 

Anyone know how I could go about that?

 

Here is the code:

 

<?php
   } else {
      error_reporting(0);
  

require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$privatekey = "6Lc3CAoAAAAAACXdton7ORpQm_C23NwVdumiRFWK";
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
"(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
}

PHP is server side, so if you want to have a pop up happen without a page load - you will have to do it with AJAX. 

 

Basically any time you want to do something in PHP that *DOESN'T* require a page load, you are looking are going to have to use (at least some) javascript.

 

Need any help getting pointed in the right direction?

I tried using some javascript (though I dont know to much about it) but it didnt seem to work for me.

 

I tried the following:

 

<?php

  } else {

      error_reporting(0);

 

require_once('recaptchalib.php');

$privatekey = "6Lc3CAoAAAAAACXdton7ORpQm_C23NwVdumiRFWK";

$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,

$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],

$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],

$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

if (!$resp->is_valid) {

 

die('<script type="text/javascript">

alert("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .

"(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");

</script>

}

 

but it didnt work

 

am i close? ha

no, that wouldn't work 'cause the markup is a mess.

 

you have </script> outside the die();  you didn't escape the ' in wasn't (wasn\'t), and so on.

 

this will work for you:

 

die('
<script type="text/javascript">
	alert("The reCAPTCHA wasn\'t entered correctly. Go back and try it again.\n\n(reCAPTCHA said: '. $resp->error . ')");
</script>
');

One must also question the usability of a form that tells you to manually return to the form they just submitted.

oh yes.  that code has madness written all over it.  i just corrected the problem at hand.  if the OP wishes to go through proper error handling, i have no problem in addressing that, either.

Any help I can get on this would be great. I dont know much about php and figured all of this out with some help and on a whim. If you could unscramble some of this, I would be forever greatful!!

[justspiffy]

When I use that code you provided me, it work, except it attempts to send the form through and loads a blank page with the pop up. Is there a way to do it so it just gives the pop up and stays on the same page with the form still open and everything they have put in the form still there?

 

Also, and this may be what you were talking about..

 

When i put a incorrect passcode in the CAPTCHA it gives me the error, but when i click back and put the correct one in, it still says it is wrong??

The only way I found around it is when I hit refresh and type it in, then it will send. Even if I put the incorrect passcode in it still sends ha. Not sure why that is?

[justspiffy]

anyone have a clue why?
