noobtopro Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hello again everyone, I know someone knows how to do this. Question: In the program you created in question 4, allow your user the option of saving the information for the next time they visit. If they choose "yes", save information in a cookie. 1st part of Question (I have done): Created a text input with options to select font family, font size, and font color. At the bottom of question5.php I added a checkbox to save the information. I then created an if statement on the processing page (question5display.php. I would appreciate some help, thanks guys. Here is the form ( called it question5.php): <html> <head> <title> Please Enter Your Text</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="question5display.php"> <p>Enter the text you want formatted please: <input type="text" name="textformat" maxlength="30" size="30" /> <table> <tr> <td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td> <td><select id="font" name="font"> <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option> <option value="Arial">Arial</option> <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td> <td><select id="size" name="size"> <option value="10px">10px</option> <option value="12px">12px</option> <option value="14px">14px</option> <option value="20px">20px</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td> <td><select id="color" name="color"> <option value="green">Green</option> <option value="blue">Blue</option> <option value="red">Red</option> </select> </td> </tr> </table> <input type="checkbox" id="save_prefs" name="save_prefs" /> <label for="save_prefs">Save these preferences for the next time you log in.</label> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Here is the page it goes to (called it question5display): <?php if (isset($_POST['save_prefs'])) { setcookie('font', $_POST['font'], time() + 60); setcookie('size', $_POST['size'], time() + 60); setcookie('color', $_POST['color'], time() + 60); $_COOKIE['font'] = $_SESSION['font']; $_COOKIE['size'] = $_SESSION['size']; $_COOKIE['color'] = $_SESSION['color']; } session_start(); $_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat']; $_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font']; $_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size']; $_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color']; ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <p <?php echo ' style="font-family: ' . $_SESSION['font'] .
