SirChick Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 My code won't allow the validation to succeed if everything is ok. I have a check box which the user has to tick in order for the process to take place. I'm not sure why but it always dies and produces my error . Form : <form name="" method="POST" action="breakoutofjail.php" enctype="text/plain" id="Form1"> <div id="bv_Text2" style="position:absolute;left:158px;top:92px;width:150px;height:16px;z-index:1" align="center"> <font style="font-size:13px" color="#000000" face="Arial"><i>Costs 10 Courage!</i></font></div> <input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox1" name="BreakOutCheckBox" value="" style="position:absolute;left:324px;top:58px;z-index:2"> <input type="submit" id="Button1" name="BreakOut" value="Try To Break Out" style="position:absolute;left:158px;top:57px;width:144px;height:24px;z-index:0"> </form> This is the validation on the breakoutofjail.php : $Check = $_POST['BreakOutCheckBox']; $Check = (isset($_POST['BreakOutCheckBox']) ? true : false); if (!$Check) { die("You must tick the validation box, this avoids people accidently clicking the button!"); } If i echo $Check there is no response to it so its completely empty... even when ticked or not.

marcus Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Give the value of BreakOutCheckBox "yes" value="yes" Then when it comes to the PHP part try: $Check = $_POST['BreakOutCheckBox']; if($check == "yes"){ echo "Validated"; }else { echo "Invalidated"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChick Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 This is the new alteration but still not working. <input type="checkbox" id="Checkbox1" name="BreakOutCheckBox" value="yes" style="position:absolute;left:324px;top:58px;z-index:2"> $Check = $_POST['BreakOutCheckBox']; if (!($Check == 'Yes')){ die("You must tick the validation box, this avoids people accidently clicking the button!"); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Two things: There is nothing technically wrong with your IF statement, but I would suggest changing it to this: if ($Check != 'Yes'){ Let's verify that the receiving page is getting the values you are expecting. Put this on the page receiving the post data. print_r($_POST); Please post the output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Remove the enctype property from the FORM tag. You only need that when doing file uploads. And you should know the valid values for that property and what they mean before using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
