[prime]

Hi have the following peice of code in a form handling php script I have, Not exactly sure whats going on with it, any help would be appreciated thank you

 

<?php

$badname  = array("example1");

?>

<?php

if ($rs_name == in_array($badname))  /* I've also tried using if(in_array($rs_name, $badname)) without any success */
{
    echo "<br/><br/><center>
    
    <font color='orange' size='4'>
This name has been Blocked from the registry submitter
<br/>
If you are the owner of this account
<br/>
Please use the contact us form to verify you are the account owner
<p/>
Account verification requires in-game verification
    </font>
    </center>";
    exit();
}

?>

<?php
$badname  = array('example1','testing','bob');
?>
<?php
$rs_name='bob';



if (in_array($rs_name, $badname))  
{
    echo "<br/><br/><center>
    
    <font color='orange' size='4'>
This name has been Blocked from the registry submitter
<br/>
If you are the owner of this account
<br/>
Please use the contact us form to verify you are the account owner
<p/>
Account verification requires in-game verification
    </font>
    </center>";
    exit();
}

?>

 

This worked for me. I got the error message for all 3 items in the array.

the problem I'm having though is the $rs_name variable is collected from a form field, and basically I wanted it checked against the list of bad name entries to see if the error message should be run

Look at your form method. It is either post or get. then just create the variable for it.

 

<?php

$badname  = array('example1','testing','bob');

?>

<?php

// only use one of the following, as one will work, and one will fail.

$rs_name=$_POST['name_of_field'];

$rs_name=$_GET['name_of_field'];

 

 

 

if (in_array($rs_name, $badname)) 

{

    echo "<br/><br/><center>

   

    <font color='orange' size='4'>

This name has been Blocked from the registry submitter

<br/>

If you are the owner of this account

<br/>

Please use the contact us form to verify you are the account owner

<p/>

Account verification requires in-game verification

    </font>

    </center>";

    exit();

}

 

?>
