skiingguru1611 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I THINK WHAT I NEED TO KNOW IS HOW TO INSERT AN HTML FORM INTO AN ECHO FIELD, READ ON FOR MORE INFORMATION. Alright I'm trying to get an online registration form to only show if the user is logged in. I already have the login system set up, along with the form and databases and such. All I need to know I think is how to only have the form show if the user is logged in. The form is written in HTML and I think I need to put that into an echo after the line: if($session->logged_in){ Anyways take a look and let me know, if you don't understand tell me what you don't get about the question and I'll try to explain it better. Thank You. Here is the code for the online registration file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> </html> <? include("../Login/session.php"); ?> <? if($session->logged_in){ } ?> <html> <body> <form method="post" action="insert.php"> <p>First Name <input type="text" name="first" size="20"> Last <input type="text" name="last" size="20"></p> <p>Address <input type="text" name="address" size="20"> City<input type="text" name="city" size="20"> State <input type="text" name="state" size="20"> Zipcode <input type="text" name="zipcode" size="20"></p> <p>Phone ex.(555) 555-5555 <input type="text" name="phone" size="20"> Cell Phone <input type="text" name="cell" size="20"> </p> <p>Email <input type="text" name="email" size="20"> </p> <p>Age<input type="text" name="age" size="20"> Weight <input type="text" name="weight1" size="20"> Height <input type="text" name="height1" size="20"> Grade Sept.

schilly Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 <? include("../Login/session.php"); ?> needs to be at the top of page before any html. Also check the pathname of the session.php file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiingguru1611 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I moved it to the top but it gives me the same error (but a different line, as to be expected). It's the right pathname as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiingguru1611 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I have found the problem and fixed it. Thank you both very much that helped me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 includes don't have to be at the top or before HTML. The problem was the leading / <? include("../Login/session.php"); ?> needs to be at the top of page before any html. Also check the pathname of the session.php file.

legohead6 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 its time to use some common sence, you should be able to figure out alot of these errors on your own, if not then this is too advanced for you skill level for example <? } else { echo ?><h2>Must be logged in</h2> <? } thats around line 29.. it says missing ';' hopefully you can figure out that its saying... also it would make it alot easier for you if you just use php to echo the html, having the php starting and stoping so much is going to make it challanging.. i would compact down all the html into 1 echo, then use a variable to decide on the error messages, etc, or even another echo, but having all those php start/stops is not very effective...

schilly Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Sorry. Meant that because it had to do with sessions. includes don't have to be at the top or before HTML. The problem was the leading / <? include("../Login/session.php"); ?> needs to be at the top of page before any html. Also check the pathname of the session.php file.

skiingguru1611 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 You need to calm down, I said I figured it out. Anyways I just started learning PHP a couple days ago so chill. It's not too advanced, I just didn't know how to incorporate HTML into an echo, which I figured out with a little help. And I believe this is the "PHP Help" Section, so if you don't have anything useful to say, don't post. its time to use some common sence, you should be able to figure out alot of these errors on your own, if not then this is too advanced for you skill level for example <? } else { echo ?><h2>Must be logged in</h2> <? } thats around line 29.. it says missing ';' hopefully you can figure out that its saying... also it would make it alot easier for you if you just use php to echo the html, having the php starting and stoping so much is going to make it challanging.. i would compact down all the html into 1 echo, then use a variable to decide on the error messages, etc, or even another echo, but having all those php start/stops is not very effective...
