Html form data parsing

[sirusx69]

Hello there, just started learning PHP and I can't exactly figure out why this doesn't work. After about 3 hours I'm seeking help lol...

 

Form Code:

<form action="cheatcode.php" method="postt">

Cheat: <input name="fcheat" type="text" />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

 

PHP Code:

function checkcheat()

        {

                if ($code=="rockon87")

                        {

                        $cheat=="Godmode";

                        $check==1;

                        $invalid==0;

                        display();

                        }

                else

                        {

                        $cheat==" ";

                        $check==0;

                        $invalid==1;

                        display();

                        }

        }

function display()

        {

        if (invalid==0)

                {

                echo "You have been granted " . $cheat;

                }

        else

                {

                echo "That is not a valid cheat code";

                }

}

$code=$_POST["fcheat"];

checkcheat();

 

 

I'm just trying to learn php..atm on functions and forms. Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.

 

EDIT: From what I can see, the code: $code=$_POST["fcheat"]; is not pulling the data...and because of that the if statements bug out and the script just returns a blank page. trying to follow the tutorials on W3schools but in my own way. Not working out to well.

Method should be POST not POSTT

 

if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
{
$code=$_POST["fcheat"]
function checkcheat()
        {
                if ($code=="rockon87")
                        {
                        $cheat=="Godmode";
                        $check==1;
                        $invalid==0;
                        display();
                        }
                else
                        {
                        $cheat==" ";
                        $check==0;
                        $invalid==1;
                        display();
                        }
        }
function display()
        {
        if (invalid==0)
                {
                echo "You have been granted " . $cheat;
                }
        else
                {
                echo "That is not a valid cheat code";
                }
}
$code=$_POST["fcheat"];
checkcheat();
}
else
{
<form action="cheatcode.php" name="submitxyz" method="postt">
Cheat: <input name="fcheat" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
}

heh heh...oops....well at least I fixed the problem and it still doesn't work.  I just get "you have been granted "  and thats it whereas the expected output would be "you have been granted Godmode"

 

hm...so it has something to do with the if statements now....>.<

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home2/lawshzco/public_html/techyme/trey/testcode.php  on line 39

 

when i attempted your code?

yeah because we cant use html directly in PHP

 

if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
{
$code=$_POST["fcheat"];
function checkcheat()
        {
                if ($code=="rockon87")
                        {
                        $cheat=="Godmode";
                        $check==1;
                        $invalid==0;
                        display();
                        }
                else
                        {
                        $cheat==" ";
                        $check==0;
                        $invalid==1;
                        display();
                        }
        }
function display()
        {
        if (invalid==0)
                {
                echo "You have been granted " . $cheat;
                }
        else
                {
                echo "That is not a valid cheat code";
                }
}
$code=$_POST["fcheat"];
checkcheat();
}
else
{
?>
<form action="cheatcode.php" name="submitxyz" method="post">
Cheat: <input name="fcheat" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<?
}

If your Line 7 is $code=$_POST["fcheat"]

change it to $code=$_POST["fcheat"];

 

or post your complete code

I did what you suggested and now its screaming at me

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '{' in /home2/lawshzco/public_html/techyme/trey/testcode.php  on line 7

 

[inversesoft123]

Always check ending of code before trying

 

<html>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
{
$code=$_POST["fcheat"];
function checkcheat()
        {
                if ($code=="rockon87")
                        {
                        $cheat=="Godmode";
                        $check==1;
                        $invalid==0;
                        display();
                        }
                else
                        {
                        $cheat==" ";
                        $check==0;
                        $invalid==1;
                        display();
                        }
        }
function display()
        {
        if (invalid==0)
                {
                echo "You have been granted " . $cheat;
                }
        else
                {
                echo "That is not a valid cheat code";
                }
}
$code=$_POST["fcheat"];
checkcheat();
}
else
{
?>
<form action="test1.php" method="post">
Cheat: <input name="fcheat" type="text">
<input type="submit" name="submitxyz" value="submit">
<?
}
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>

 

Your function is also need to be corrected

[inversesoft123]

Your HTML was also not correct i said you in first reply not to use postt still you are using postt copy my above code and try. you are using cheatcode.php instead of test1.php above correct it.

<html>

<body>

<?php

if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))

{

$code=$_POST["fcheat"];

                        {

                        $cheat=="Godmode";

                        $check==1;

                        $invalid==0;

                        display();

                        }

Well happy to say that everything is working again, except its back to just displaying "You have been granted"

so its still not pulling that form data >.<

why is this?

[inversesoft123]

Because $cheat here is not defined

 

remove it or replace it with $code

if dont wanna replace add this line just before $code=$_POST["fcheat"];

 

$cheat=$_POST["fcheat"];

 

[sirusx69]

Because $cheat here is not defined

 

remove it or replace it with $code

 

Removing or changing $cheat had zero effect.

<?php
class myclass
{
private $cheat;

public function __construct()
{
	if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
	{
		myclass::check($_POST['fcheat']);
	}
	myclass::form();

}

private function check($code)
{
	if($code !=  'rockon87')
	{
		print 'Invalid code';
		return;
	}
	else
	{
		$this->cheat = 'Godmode';
		myclass::display();
	}
}

private function display()
{
	print "You have been granted " . $this->cheat;
}

private function form()
{
	print "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\">";
	print "Cheat: <input name=\"fcheat\" type=\"text\">";
	print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submitxyz\" value=\"submit\">";
	print "</form>";
}
}

$myclass = new myclass();
?>

[sirusx69]

<?php
class myclass
{
private $cheat;

public function __construct()
{
	if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
	{
		myclass::check($_POST['fcheat']);
	}
	myclass::form();

}

private function check($code)
{
	if($code !=  'rockon87')
	{
		print 'Invalid code';
		return;
	}
	else
	{
		$this->cheat = 'Godmode';
		myclass::display();
	}
}

private function display()
{
	print "You have been granted " . $this->cheat;
}

private function form()
{
	print "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\">";
	print "Cheat: <input name=\"fcheat\" type=\"text\">";
	print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submitxyz\" value=\"submit\">";
	print "</form>";
}
}

$myclass = new myclass();
?>

 

Could you explain some of how you did this to me?

[Spikerok]

This is different way of writing it

<?php
// Check if we user submited form, if yes run check function with $_POST['fcheat']
if(isset($_POST['submitxyz']))
{
check($_POST['fcheat']);
}
// Run funciton form();
form();

// Functions
// This function called at line 5, $code = $_POST['fcheat']
function check($code)
{
if($code !=  'rockon87')
{
	print 'Invalid code';
	return;
}
else
{
	$cheat = 'Godmode';
	// feeding display function with variable $cheat
	display($cheat);
}
}
// display value $cheat
function display($cheat)
{
print "You have been granted " . $cheat;
}

function form()
{
print "<form action=\"\" method=\"post\">";
print "Cheat: <input name=\"fcheat\" type=\"text\">";
print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"submitxyz\" value=\"submit\">";
print "</form>";
}
