help regarding forms!!!

[amitojduggal]

Hello everyone

I need to make form for my college work,
I know basic coding in php,
I did most of the things on the forms, except for validation.
I made a check whether any field has been left, if left it gives use to give message to hit back button. Else it echos the values so user can check.

Now i also made a button on the page that says submit after form validation, like the action page
Not the front page but the one that checks for valid entries.
Now i want to insert a ok button only if all entries are correct, is there a way to make button visible only when all entries are correct.

for example can i do like
echo "<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="Thanks.php">
    <label></label>

   
    <div align="center">
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>
    <label>
   
    <div align="center"></div>
    </label>
  </form>";

It gives error
please help me make it work
Thanks!!

you need to escape the quotes like this:
[code]
echo "<form method=\"post\" action=\"some_page.php\">";
[/code]

You can either code php to display it has part of a variable or you can use client side script. To use php to display you would have to post the information first and then show the result. Something as simple as,
[code=php:0]
// Where you perform your checks for the data I have just said $data is ok
If ($data=="ok") {
$string = "<input name='ok' type='button' value='ok' />";
} else {
$string = "";
}

echo $string;
[/code]

The best places are the PHP manual on the main page www.phpfreaks.com this will give you all the code you need to perform this task, then it is just a matter of selecting an appropriate database, I would strongly suggest MySQL and as it happens we have a MySQL manual on the main page too ;)

As a hint, You will need to look at,

1. An INSERT query to place data in your database tables
2. A SELECT query to get back information from your database tables
3. A Loop control in your php code, such as WHILE or FOR to process each record in your tables when querying.

Also I wouldn't run all that code through echo..

This is how i would do it..

[code]
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="Thanks.php">
    <label></label>
 
    <div align="center">

      <?php if ($data=="ok") { ?>

          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />

      <?php } ?>

    </div>

    <label>
      <div align="center"></div>
    </label>
</form>
[/code]

When you do it this way, there is no need to escape the code. :)

Thanks anyways
