[SOLVED] Submit Button Label

[Zeyber]

This is a sort of HTML/PHP question, well questions:

 

1. How do I change what a submit button says in a form without changing the value?

2. How do I set a minimum/maximum amount of characters in a text field?

1. I have no idea. I always use value attribute for that. You can try building your own class...but that would be a tedious work.

2. There is no min length I am aware of only maxlength.

These are both HTML questions.

 

1.  Change the value= to what you want it to say on the page.  The name= is what you use to read when the button is pressed.

2.  Set the Input size= and maxlength= but you can't set a minimum.  Use code to verify data.

1. If I change the value it changes the variables sent to the next page when you use PHP to get it.

2. So I can use PHP to check the minimum length?

1.  No, Name does

2.  Yes

 

1. If I change the value it changes the variables sent to the next page when you use PHP to get it.

2. So I can use PHP to check the minimum length?

1. No it wont as long as you are pulling the info from the name attribute.

2. Yes

 

if(strlen($str)>=$minlength
{
}

Ok thanks guys.

 

Can you please show me what that code:

if(strlen($str)>=$minlength
{
}

Would look like with:

<input type="password" name="Password" />

?

[revraz]

It is pulled from the page using the $_POST['Password'] array.

 

$minlength = 8;

$password = $_POST['Password'];

 

if(strlen($password)>=$minlength) {

echo "Good";

}

else {

echo "Too Short";

}

Thanks alot! I guess that answers my questions.
