[SOLVED] Minor tweek needed on a current script...

[DBookatay]

I have a script, (which I did not create) that makes form fields required…

[code]<?

function formatText($inputName,$text) {

                       if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST") {

                                   if(empty($_POST[$inputName])) {

                                               echo '<span class="redBold">'.$text.'</span>'; 

                                               $_SESSION['ispassed']=false;  

                                   } 

                       else {echo $text;}

                       }

                       else echo $text;

           }

?>

 

and then:

 

<td><? formatText("nmF","First:"); ?></td>

 

This way works fine, but what I am now trying to do is to put it into a php page that is already echoing an output.

 

Basically:

<td>’.formatText("nmF","First:").’</td>

Problem is, all the text gets echoed at the top of the page, not where I want it, in the <td>.

I’ve tried to change all the “echos” and tried <td>’.$formatText("nmF","First:").’</td>

but it throws errors…

 

Any ideas?[/code]

Show us more code that goes along with

<td>’.formatText("nmF","First:").’</td>

 

Also, what are the errors?

<td>.formatText("nmF","First:").</td>

The only other code is the input:

<input type="text" name="nmF" value="">

[pocobueno1388]

Well, post the entire code then.

 

<td>’.formatText("nmF","First:").’</td>

 

That is obviously not the entire line...there has to be an echo or print in there.

This is the entire code...

[code]<?

function formatText($inputName,$text) {

                        if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST") {

                                    if(empty($_POST[$inputName])) {

                                                echo '<span class="redBold">'.$text.'</span>'; 

                                                $_SESSION['ispassed']=false;  

                                    } 

                        else {echo $text;}

                        }

                        else echo $text;

            }

?>

I am now trying to change that page, so I need to change the code as well....[/code]

[pocobueno1388]

No...I don't want the code to the function. I want the code to where you are trying to USE the function.

Problem is, all the text gets echoed at the top of the page, not where I want it, in the <td>.

I’ve tried to change all the “echos” and tried <td>’.$formatText("nmF","First:").’</td>

but it throws errors…

 

So it is printing out how you want it, it's just not showing up in the right spot? If thats the case, then it's an HTML problem, not PHP.

 

Throwing errors? What kind of errors?

 

I'm just confused now

[DBookatay]

Look at this page: http://bestsalesreps.com/index.php?main=004&regType=Rep here the error I am having is clearly shown.

Instead of the input names "First" , "Last" etc echoing where they should (above the input box) they are showing up at the top of the page...

 

That I what I am trying to solve...

Anyone???

[DBookatay]

Anyone?

[DBookatay]

Got it...

function formatText($inputName,$text)
{
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST") {
        if (empty($_POST[$inputName])) {
            return '<span class="redBold">'.$text.'</span>';
            $_SESSION['ispassed']=false;
        } else {
            return $text;
        }
    } else {
        return $text;
    }
}

 

Had to change all "echo"s to "return".
