My Input Validation Code causing Errors...

[oddball25]

Hey

 

I cannot get my php validation code to run without errors. I get the following

error:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in...

 

I have 'validate.php' which sets the validation functions for each and i call this in 'require_once' at the start of my main php page. I have a switch statement that when 'formchoiceone' is chosen it echos the form and the validation.

 

I have tested this code in a standard php file (one that does not output the form and validation in an echo) and it all works fine but having it inside the echo is producing errors. Code is below:

 

validate.php

<?php
function validateInputOne($one){
	//if it's NOT valid
	if(ereg('[^A-Za-z]', $one))
	return false;
	//if it's valid
	else
		return true;
}
function validateInputTwo($two){
	//if it's NOT valid
	if(ereg('[^0-9]', $two))
	return false;
	//if it's valid
	else
		return true;
}
?>

 

main php page

<?php
session_start();
require_once("validate.php");

switch ($choice) {

case 'formchoiceone':
echo '
    <div id=form>
    <form name="formone" method="post" action="">
if( isset($_POST['send']) && (!validateInputOne($_POST['one']) || !validateInputTwo($_POST['two]) ) ):
<div id="error">
if(!validateInputOne($_POST['one'])):
<p class="cform">[Please enter Letters Only]</p>
endif
if(!validateInputTwo($_POST['two'])):
<p class="cform">[Please enter Numbers Only]</p>
endif
</div>
elseif(isset($_POST['send'])):
<div id="error" class="valid">
</div>
endif
<p class="cform">Name<input id="one" name="one" type="text"/></p>
<p class="cform">Age<input id="two" name="two" type="text"/></p>
<input id="send" name="send" class="submitbutton" type="submit" value="Send"></input>
</form>
</div>';
break;



?>

 

Any ideas on this? Had me stuck for days now...

 

Thanks

You can see the problem in the coding color...

 

you echoed all the if's and all the PHP statment in the switch...

[oddball25]

Is there a logical way to solve this then or is the entire code not possible to do?

[laffin]

logical way: when using '/" remember the closign '/"

if you look at your post, ya will see ya missed the closing quote.

maybe this way will work.

<?php
session_start();
   require_once("validate.php");

switch ($choice) {

case 'formchoiceone':
echo '
    <div id=form>
    <form name="formone" method="post" action="">';
   if( isset($_POST['send']) && (!validateInputOne($_POST['one']) || !validateInputTwo($_POST['two']) ) ):
echo '   <div id="error">';
if(!validateInputOne($_POST['one'])):
echo'   <p class="cform">[Please enter Letters Only]</p>';
   endif
if(!validateInputTwo($_POST['two'])):
echo '   <p class="cform">[Please enter Numbers Only]</p>';
   endif
echo '</div>';
elseif(isset($_POST['send'])):
echo '<div id="error" class="valid"></div>';
endif
echo '
<p class="cform">Name<input id="one" name="one" type="text"/></p>
<p class="cform">Age<input id="two" name="two" type="text"/></p>
<input id="send" name="send" class="submitbutton" type="submit" value="Send"></input>
</form>
</div>';
break;
