Hi Guys,

 

I have this code;

<html>
<head>
<style>
stuff {
	color:#FFF
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id='stuff'>
<?php
session_start();
include('configdb.php');
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 //whether the username is blank
 if($_POST['username'] == '')
 {
  $_SESSION['error']['username'] = "User Name is required.";
 }
 //whether the email is blank
 if($_POST['email'] == '')
 {
  $_SESSION['error']['email'] = "E-mail is required.";
 }
 else
 {
  //whether the email format is correct
  if(preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([a-zA-Z0-9._-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+)+$/", $_POST['email']))
  {
   //if it has the correct format whether the email has already exist
   $email= $_POST['email'];
   $sql1 = "SELECT * FROM user WHERE email = '$email'";
   $result1 = mysqli_query($mysqli,$sql1) or die(mysqli_error());
   if (mysqli_num_rows($result1) > 0)
            {
    $_SESSION['error']['email'] = "This email address is already being used.";
   }
  }
  else
  {
   //this error will set if the email format is not correct
   $_SESSION['error']['email'] = "Your email address is not valid.";
  }
 }
 //whether the password is blank
 if($_POST['password'] == '')
 {
  $_SESSION['error']['password'] = "Password is required.";
 }
 if(strlen($_POST['password']) < 6){
	$_SESSION['error']['password'] = "Password is too short";
}

 if(isset($_SESSION['error']))
 {
  header("Location: index.php");
  exit;
 }
 else
 {
	 
  $username = $_POST['username'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $password = $_POST['password'];
  $tester = $_POST['tester'];
  $com_code = md5(uniqid(rand()));

  $sql = "INSERT INTO user (`username`, `email`, `password`, `tester`, `com_code`) VALUES ('$username', '$email', '$password', '$tester', '$com_code')";
  $result2 = mysqli_query($mysqli,$sql) or die(mysqli_error());
	 
  if($result2)
  {
   $to = $email;
   $subject = "Confirmation from Husha Innovations";
   $header = "Husha Innovations: Confirmation";
   $message = "Please click the link below to verify and activate your account. rn";
   $message .= "http://www.hushainnovations.comule.com/confirm.php?passkey=$com_code";

   $sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

   if($sentmail)
            {
   echo "Your Confirmation Link Has Been Sent To Your Email Address.";
   }
   else
         {
    echo "Cannot send Confirmation link to your e-mail address";
   }
  }
 }
}
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

However, all my text appears in black writing which is not good if you have a black background for your website. I have managed to change the colour of the echo's but not in the places like

$_SESSION['error']['password'] = "Password is required.";

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

What other text? The variable assignments aren't printed to the screen...the contents of the variable may/may not be echo'd or printed to the screen.

 

I'm surprised that your sessions and redirect headers are working since there is data being sent to the browser before those are called.

Ok.... please slow down.

 

This is supposed to be a membership signup and this file is supposed to take the input from a file called index.php.

 

As you can see in this file, there is some validation arguments in the code. If for example the username if left blank the file posts some text on to the page. That text is black and therefore can't be seen. I want to make it white and I don't know how

The solution is to use a site wide stylesheet which sets the text color to white for all html elements.

 

Create a new file called style.css, and add the following to it

html {
   background-color: #000; /* Set page background to black */
   color: #FFF;            /* Set page text color to white */
}

Now in any page you want to set the page black, with white text you'd link to that stylesheet using

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
