[SOLVED] form help

tecmeister · February 6, 2008

I Have created a register page.

And i would like to know how you make the user enter all of the details or it will not register.

meaning they cant leave one blank.

How do i do that?

$username=$_POST['username']; 
if (empty($username)) 
{ 
echo"<a href='submit_registration.php'>All fields are required EXCEPT company.</a>"; 
exit(); // stop exec here 
}

I WISH I got royalties from these folks, but I don't. Sigh.

Forms to go

Especially if like me, you're a little weak on PHP

<?php

function check_fields()
{
$i = '';foreach($_POST as $value => $item){if(empty($item)){$i++;}}

return $i;
}

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
if(!empty(check_fields()))
{
echo 'All fields are required. Please try again.';
}
else
{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` () VALUES ()");
}
}
?>

that might do it

return $i;

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` () VALUES ()");

that might do it

i have entered that script and i get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/sites/nurevolution.co.uk/public_html/register.php on line 37

I might of put it in the wrong place.

This is part of my script:

<?PHP

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbname = "**********";

$dbuser = "***********";

$dbpass = "********";

mysql_connect ($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass)or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname)or die(mysql_error());

$name = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = md5($_POST['password']);

function check_fields()

{

$i = '';foreach($_POST as $value => $item){if(empty($item)){$i++;}}

return $i;

}

if(isset($_POST['submit']))

{

if(!empty(check_fields()))

{

echo 'All fields are required. Please try again.';

}

else

{

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` () VALUES ()");

}

}

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users Where username='$username'");

$username_exist = mysql_num_rows($checkuser);

if($username_exist >0){

echo "I'm sorry but the username that you specified has already been taken. Please pick another one.";

unset($username);

include 'register.html';

exit();

}

if your only concern is blank and domt mind what ever they enter do this..........

$array = array ('name','lastname','email');//the value are your fields name in your form
$empty = 0;
foreach($array as $val){
if(empty($_POST[$val])){
$empty++;//emty
}
}
if($emty == 0){
//do something
}else{
//do something
}

try

tecmeister · February 7, 2008

I have entered that code in.

But it didn't seem to work.

This is what i had entered.

$name = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$array = array ('name','lastname','email');//the value are your fields name in your form

$empty = 0;

foreach($array as $val){

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

$empty++;//emty

}

if($emty == 0){

//do something

}else{

//do something

}

Thanks for your help

<body>

<?PHP

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbname = "**********";

$dbuser = "**********r";

$dbpass = "**********";

mysql_connect ($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass)or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname)or die(mysql_error());

$$name = $_POST['name'];

$email = $_POST['email'];

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$array = array ('name','email','username','password');

$empty = 0;

foreach($array as $val){

if(empty($_POST[$val]) || !isset($_POST[$val])){

$empty++;

}

if($emty == 0){

//do something here put here your insert query

}

else{

echo "wrong input";

}

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users Where username='$username'");

$username_exist = mysql_num_rows($checkuser);

if($username_exist >0){

echo "I'm sorry but the username that you specified has already been taken. Please pick another one.";

unset($username);

include 'register.html';

exit();

}

$query = "INSERT INTO users (name,email,username,password)

VALUES('$name','$email','$username','$password')";

mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());

mysql_close();

$yoursite = 'www.nurevolution.co.uk';

$webmaster = 'Johnny McCaffery';

$youremail = 'support@nurevolution.co.uk';

$subject = "You have successfully registered at $yoursite...";

$message = "Dear $name, you are now registered at our web site.

To login, simply go to our web page and enter in the following details in the login form:

Username: $username

Password: $password

Now you are able to sign in to <a href='www.nurevolution.co.uk'>NuRevolution</a>

mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $yoursite <$youremail>\nX-Mailer:PHP/" . phpversion());

echo "you have successfully Registered.";

echo "Your information has been mailed to your email address.";

?>

</body>

Sorry im still getting the same error.

It must be something that i'm doing.

Thanks for your help tho

tecmeister · February 7, 2008

I have tried this code that i had found.

But i'm still getting the same error as i was with the other codes.

I only get the error when i try to validate the form.

This is the error that i'm getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/sites/nurevolution.co.uk/public_html/register.php on line 77.

That is the end of the page.

This is the code that im using.

if($email == NULL || $username == NULL || $password == NULL || $name == NULL || $address1 == NULL || $address2 == NULL || city == NULL || $county == NULL || $postal == NULL || $country == NULL){
echo "You must complete all fields with *";

GameYin · February 7, 2008

NONONONONONONO.

<script type="text/javascript">
var red = 5;

var blue = 3;

var green = 3;

var match = null;

if ((red == blue) && (red == green)) {

match = 'equal';

} else {

purple = 'unequal';

}

document.write(red + ' and ' + blue + ' are ' + match);

</script>

In this example the red must equal both the value in blue and the value in green for the if statement to evaluate as true. If either comparison evaluates as false then the entire if statement evaluates as false. Had we wanted to test if the value in red matched the value in blue or the value in green then we would have used the following if statement:

if ((red == blue) || (red == green))

See what I mean? You can't use || if you want to test if all the values must be filled in. Hope this helps you!!!

Wolphie · February 7, 2008

Try something similar to

<?php
function validateForm() {
  $valid = false;
  foreach($_POST as $field) {
    if(empty($field)) {
      $valid = false;
    } else {
      $valid = true;
    }
  }
  
  if($valid) {
     echo 'Form submitted successfully.';
  } else {
     echo 'Please fill in all fields.';
  }
}
?>

tecmeister · February 7, 2008

I have tried all of the codes that people have told me to put.

Everytime i enter their code i get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/sites/nurevolution.co.uk/public_html/register.php on line 91

This is the register code that i using:


<?PHP

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "**********";
$dbuser = "**********";
$dbpass = "*******";

mysql_connect ($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass)or die("Could not connect:".mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname)or die(mysql_error());



$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);
$companyname = $_POST['companyname'];
$address1 = $_POST['address1'];
$address2 = $_POST['address2'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$county = $_POST['county'];
$postal = $_POST['postal'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];

if(($email == NULL)&&($username == NULL)&&($password == NULL)&&($name == NULL)&&($address1 == NULL)&&($address2 == NULL)&&(city == NULL)&&($county == NULL)&&($postal == NULL)&&($country == NULL));{
echo "You must complete all fields with *";
include 'register.html';
exit();

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM users Where username='$username'");

$username_exist = mysql_num_rows($checkuser);

if($username_exist >0){
echo "I'm sorry but the username that you specified has already been taken.  Please pick another one.";
unset($username);
include 'register.html';
exit();

$query = "INSERT INTO users (name,email,username,password,companyname,address1,address2,city,county,postal,country,phone,mobile)
VALUES('$name','$email','$username','$password','$companyname','$address1','$address2','$city','$county','$postal','$country','$phone','$mobile')";
mysql_query($query)or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close();

$yoursite = 'www.nurevolution.co.uk';
$webmaster = 'Johnny McCaffery';
$youremail = 'support@nurevolution.co.uk';

$subject = "You have successfully registered at $yoursite...";
$message = "Dear $name, you are now registered at our web site.  
    To login, simply go to our web page and enter in the following details in the login form:

    Username: $username
    Password: $password
    
    Please print this information out and store it for future reference.
    
    Thanks,
    $webmaster";
    
mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $yoursite <$youremail>\nX-Mailer:PHP/" . phpversion());

echo "you have successfully Registered.";
    
echo "Your information has been mailed to your email address.";

?>

Can someone please check it and tell me what is wrong.

O and if i dont put the validate into the code it is working file.
