well where you get the template() function from???

[spectreon666]

what do you mean?

[Lamez]

he means where do you define what template() does? Do you have any includes or is it in the rest of the code.

[adam291086]

you are trying to call on a function in your script. If you haven't defined what that function does then you script wont work. Hence the reason why you are getting the error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function template() in E:\Other\xampp\htdocs\bookingformprocess.php on line 18

 

this is where you call on the function

 

template('http://localhost/bookingform.tpl.php');

 

we need to see the function you created unless you haven't created it, which explains everything

[spectreon666]

I think its sorted...you mean

 

include 'includes.php' ---- I just stuck it in so its not getting an error on that line any more.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF---> I am however getting this error now on line 8 -->

 

if (!isset($_POST['name']) or empty($_POST['name']) ) // !ctype_alpha()

[adam291086]

There are going to be a number of errors. Post your whole code. I can tell already because what you have on line 8 is wrong

[spectreon666]

 

 

<?php /// bookingformprocess.php

include 'includes.php'

 

 

 

if (!isset($_POST['name']) or empty($_POST['name']) )

 

$error = 'You need to enter your name!';

 

else {

$name = $_POST['name'];

}

 

 

if ($error) {

// form data is invalid, redisplay form with error message from its template

template('localhost/bookingform.tpl.php');

}

 

else {

// save to database, and display a result page

include('saveform.php');

$confirmationMessage = 'Booking data saved';

template('formresult.tpl.php');

}

 

?>

[revraz]

Need a semi colon after include

 

include 'includes.php';  <---

[adam291086]

try this

 

<?php /// bookingformprocess.php
include 'includes.php';



if (!isset($_POST['name'])) 

$error = 'You need to enter your name!'; 

else {
   $name = $_POST['name'];
}


if ($error) {
   // form data is invalid, redisplay form with error message from its template
   template('localhost/bookingform.tpl.php');
} 

else {
   // save to database, and display a result page
   include('saveform.php');
   $confirmationMessage = 'Booking data saved';
   template('formresult.tpl.php');
}

?>

[spectreon666]

Yeah thats perfect...thanks!!!

[spectreon666]

Im getting another error now when it reads the above form

 

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template() (previously declared in E:\Other\xampp\htdocs\includes.php:3) in E:\Other\xampp\htdocs\includes.php on line 8

 

heres the includes.php

 

<?php

function template($tpl)

{

ob_start();

include $tpl;

echo ob_get_clean();

}    -----> line 8

 

?>

 

 

 

[cooldude832]

you can only declare a function once, redefining it causes an error.

[spectreon666]

How do i fix it in the above forms

[adam291086]

You dont seem to know what you are doing with function ect so lets keep in simple.

 

if (!isset($_POST['name'])) 

$error = 'You need to enter your name!'; 

else {
   $name = $_POST['name'];
}

if ($error) {
   // form data is invalid, redisplay form with error message from its template
header('Location: the name of the form goes here')
} 

else {
   // save to database, and display a result page
   include('saveform.php');
   $confirmationMessage = 'Booking data saved';
   header('Location: the name of the success form goes here')
}

?>
