AdRock Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have several functions for a form that will either repopulate the text fields with the original values from the database if validation fails or if validation passes leave the new values in there. These functions are all the same apart from the variables held in each. Is there a way i can use one function for each of the form text fields which variables change. I thought of maybe using a switch statement or maybe a some sort of loop that uses foreach but i have never used that so don't know how i would go about doing it. Has anyone got any suggestions? Here is the code i have got if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $submit = $_POST['submit']; } $result = mysql_query("SELECT `first_name`, `last_name`, `username`, `email` FROM `users` WHERE `username`='".$_SESSION['username']."'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $get_first_name = $row['first_name']; $get_last_name = $row['last_name']; $get_username = $row['username']; $get_email = $row['email']; } function error_username($error) { global $get_username, $username_print_again, $username; //if the new username has got an error, display the original username if($error['username']) { echo $get_username; } elseif(($get_username != $username) && ($username != null)) { echo $username; } else { if(!$username_print_again) { echo $get_username; } } } function error_firstname($error) { global $get_first_name, $first_name_print_again, $first_name; //if the new username has got an error, display the original username if($error['first_name']) { echo $get_first_name; } elseif(($get_first_name != $first_name) && ($first_name != null)) { echo $first_name; } else { if(!$first_name_print_again) { echo $get_first_name; } } } function error_lastname($error) { global $get_last_name, $last_name, $last_name_print_again; //if the new username has got an error, display the original username if($error['last_name']) { echo $get_last_name; } elseif(($get_last_name != $last_name) && ($last_name != null)) { echo $last_name; } else { if(!$last_name_print_again) { echo $get_last_name; } } } If you need to see any more code i'll post it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
