[SOLVED] php - return on same page

[fonecave]

How do i get the code below to return any messages to the same page rather than the blank php page?

 

<?php

//$checkline="checkline"; //unused

$name=$_POST["name"];

$address=$_POST["address"];

$password=$_POST["password"];

 

if(empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($password))

{

    echo "Please Enter name, email and password";

    die;

}

//darkfreaks email checker

if (!preg_match("/^(.+)@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9.]+$/si", $address))

{

    echo "Error, email not valid";

    die;

}

 

$namelen=strlen($name);

if ($namelen<5)

{

    echo "Error, name entered is under 5 characters long.";

    die;

}

 

 

 

$passwordlen=strlen($password);

if ($passwordlen<5)

{

    echo "Error, password entered is under 5 characters long.";

    die;

}

 

$efile=fopen("*****privatefile*****.txt","a+") ;

if ($efile)

{

    $inuse = false;

    while ( !feof($efile) && !$inuse)

    {

        $f_name = trim(fgets($efile));

        $f_address = trim(fgets($efile));

 

        if($f_name == $name)

        {

            echo "user '$name' is already used<br>\n";

            $inuse = true;

        }

        if($f_address == $address)

        {

            echo "email '$address' is already used<br>\n";

            $inuse = true;

        }

    }

    if(!$inuse)

    {

        fwrite ($efile, $name . "\n");

        fwrite ($efile, $address . "\n");

        fwrite ($efile, $password. "\n");

        echo"Registration Succesful, Thank you $name";

        echo"<br>You will be one of the first to recieve all of our amazing offers!<br>" ;

        echo"You will recieve your username and password soon, Check your inbox.<br>" ;

        echo"Please click your browsers back button to return to fonecave.<br>" ;

    }

    fclose($efile);

}

 

 

?>

their are quiet some ways to accomplish that

 

you could do:

 

basename?message=blablabla

<?php

if ($_GET["message"] && $_GET["message"] != "") {
    echo $_GET["message"];
}

// or set a message

$message = "blablabla";

if ($message && $message != "") {
   echo $message;
}

?>

That didnt really help, can u change the code and show me how, i want the messages to be printed on the page the post data came from not a new blank page...

do you mean you want this to be displayed in the same page that your form is located?

then you have to move the script to the same page that the form is located, heres and

example:

 

<?php
function myForm(){
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name" size="20"><br>
Address:<br>
<input type="text" name="address" size="20"><br>
Password:<br>
<input type="password" name="password" size="20"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
}
if(!isset($_POST['submit'])){
myForm();
exit();
} else{
<?php
//$checkline="checkline"; //unused
$name=$_POST["name"];
$address=$_POST["address"];
$password=$_POST["password"];

if(empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($password))
{
    echo "Please Enter name, email and password";
myForm();
    die;
}
//darkfreaks email checker
if (!preg_match("/^(.+)@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9.]+$/si", $address))
{
    echo "Error, email not valid";
myForm();
    die;
}

$namelen=strlen($name);
if ($namelen<5)
{
    echo "Error, name entered is under 5 characters long.";
myForm();
    die;
}



$passwordlen=strlen($password);
if ($passwordlen<5)
{
    echo "Error, password entered is under 5 characters long.";
myForm();
    die;
}

$efile=fopen("*****privatefile*****.txt","a+") ;
if ($efile)
{
    $inuse = false;
    while ( !feof($efile) && !$inuse)
    {
        $f_name = trim(fgets($efile));
        $f_address = trim(fgets($efile));

        if($f_name == $name)
        {
            echo "user '$name' is already used
\n";
            $inuse = true;
        }
        if($f_address == $address)
        {
            echo "email '$address' is already used
\n";
            $inuse = true;
        }
myForm();
    }
    if(!$inuse)
    {
        fwrite ($efile, $name . "\n");
        fwrite ($efile, $address . "\n");
        fwrite ($efile, $password. "\n");
        echo"Registration Succesful, Thank you $name";
        echo"
You will be one of the first to recieve all of our amazing offers!
" ;
        echo"You will recieve your username and password soon, Check your inbox.
" ;
        echo"Please click your browsers back button to return to fonecave.
" ;
    }
    fclose($efile);
}

?>
}

that code didnt work it gave me a 404 error (i did change the txt file back)

plus it wrote all the script on the page and moved my divs around there is definately a script error there somewhere

How do i get the code below to return any messages to the same page rather than the blank php page?

 

I'm not sure I understand your question. echo prints strings to the current page, what exactly is the problem?

[fonecave]

i want to use the code i posted in a simple name email and password registration form but i dont want to use a standalone php file else like you wrote, the echo statement is printing the messages on the blank php page i want them on the same page the form is on but i cnt even get this simple code to work

 

<?php

if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) // if the form was submitted, display their name

{

echo 'Your name is ' .$_POST['name'];

}

else // form hasn't been submitted, so display the form

{

echo '<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">

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

<input type="submit" value="Submit!">

</form>';

}

 

?>

not coded the full thing but I'll think you'll get the idea

 

<?php
$strMessage = "";
if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) // if the form was submitted, display their name
{

//$checkline="checkline"; //unused
$name=$_POST["name"];
$address=$_POST["address"];
$password=$_POST["password"];

if(empty($name) || empty($address) || empty($password))
{
    $strMessage .= "Please Enter name, email and password<BR>";
}
//darkfreaks email checker
if (!preg_match("/^(.+)@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9.]+$/si", $address))
{
    $strMessage .= "Error, email not valid";
}

$namelen=strlen($name);
if ($namelen<5)
{
   $strMessage .= "Error, name entered is under 5 characters long.";
}



$passwordlen=strlen($password);
if ($passwordlen<5)
{
    $strMessage .= "Error, password entered is under 5 characters long.";

}

if ($strMessage = "")
{
	$efile=fopen("*****privatefile*****.txt","a+") ;
	if ($efile)
	{
	    $inuse = false;
	    while ( !feof($efile) && !$inuse)
	    {
		$f_name = trim(fgets($efile));
		$f_address = trim(fgets($efile));

		if($f_name == $name)
		{
		    echo "user '$name' is already used <BR>";
		    $inuse = true;
		}
		if($f_address == $address)
		{
		    echo "email '$address' is already used <BR>";
		    $inuse = true;
		}
	    }
	    if(!$inuse)
	    {
		fwrite ($efile, $name . "\n");
		fwrite ($efile, $address . "\n");
		fwrite ($efile, $password. "\n");
		echo"Registration Succesful, Thank you $name";
		echo "You will be one of the first to recieve all of our amazing offers!" ;
		echo "You will recieve your username and password soon, Check your inbox." ;
		echo "Please click your browsers back button to return to fonecave." ;
		exit;
	    }
	    fclose($efile);
	}
}
}

echo $strMessage."<BR>"
echo '<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="name" value="{$_POST['name']}>
<input type="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>';

?>
