    Thank you, that has fixed the problem! I really appreciate all the help you have been with this.

    Only issue now when that is changed is that it will accept the other fields if they are blank... Programming can be quite the joy thats for sure, lol

    So now I have discovered one minor little problem. For some reason, if a grade of "0" is entered, it marks it as invalid, while if you enter it as "0.0", it accepts it. Not really sure what may need to be adjusted. <html><head><!-- This Sets the title of the page --><title> Enter Course Grades </title><!-- This imports the css file created to use as the background- defines the styles such as bg image and colors --><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='background.css' /></head><body><!-- Centers the company logo image as well as sets the size of 450x150 --><center><img src='Logo.jpg' alt='Company Logo' width='450' height=150'></center><br><center> <?php// This defines the name of the file to be saved with the user information and grades$Savedfile = "FinalGrades.txt"; $field=array(); if ($_POST){ //if form submitted //defines that error messages have a red border $defined_error=' style="border: 5px solid #aa2200;"'; if ($_POST['clear']){ //This clears the form fields if it is reset! }else{ //Defines the form variables $form=array('firstname', 'lastname', 'coursenumber', 'finalgrade'); $error=''; foreach($form as $input){ $field[$input]=$_POST[$input]; if (!$field[$input]){ $error[$input]=1; } } if (!is_numeric($field['finalgrade'])){ $error['finalgrade']=1; }else if ($field['finalgrade']<0 || $field['finalgrade']>100){ $error['finalgrade']=1; }else if (!$error){ $range=array( 'F'=>array(0, 59), 'D'=>array(60, 69), 'C'=>array(70, 79), 'B'=>array(80, 85), 'A-'=>array(86, 90), 'A'=>array(91, 95), 'A+'=>array(96, 100), ); foreach($range as $finalgrade_letter=>$finalgrade_range){ $range_array=range($finalgrade_range[0], $finalgrade_range[1]); if (in_array($field['finalgrade'], $range_array)){ break; //letter found, so let's get out of here.

    Thank you so much, I have changed the lines as you have suggested, uploaded the updated copy and tried various entries by leaving a field blank, which it will display the error and outline in red as it should. It will also only accept the specified numbers for the grade, which is perfect! I really appreciate your help with this, it has definitely saved a lot of frustration!
  5. jharvie
    I did catch on to that part that if the field is incorrect it displays it with a red border, which is a great idea, however, what I mean is that it will still append the data to the text file even if it is missing something such as the first name. I'm not really sure what needs to be added for it to verify that there is an entry in each of the form fields before it actually appends it to the text file. Again, forgive me for my lack of php knowledge, this is really the first bit of programming in php I have attempted. An example of what is happening right now is if I was to leave the first name blank, enter a name for the last name, give it a course number of lets say 58, and a grade of 89. What happens is it will display a table, with the first name column blank, last name gets displayed, course number is displayed and the final grade prints out as an F. The issues is that it will append this data to the text file, as well as below the table, it displays the error page with the first name box outlined in red, indicating that nothing was entered in the first name field.

    I have tried to implement the various suggestions you have given, however nothing has seemed to work correctly. I really appreciate your effort, I just need more assistance with getting this to work correctly!!

    So this solves most of my issue. Now the only thing I am trying to figure out is how to make sure that there is an entry in the First Name, Last Name and Course number boxes, and if not, then I have to have it display the error message. I'm sure this is probably quite simple to do, although I cant seem to figure out what needs to be added in. If I enter just the last name, course number and lets say 89 as a grade, it also displays the table of results with an empty first name, but as well as displays the error page below the table, saying Please fill out all fields. However, it appends the incomplete submission to the text file.

    What I want the code to do is allow the user to enter the first and last name, course, and the final grade in a percentage (between 0 and 100). I want it so that if they enter a correct number, it will convert it to a letter grade, display it back to the user as well as append it to a text file. I want the script so that if the user enters a number over 100, itll echo back the original form with a message stating that there was an error. It also has to be configured in such a way that if the user enters a number grade but has any letters, it will echo back the error page. Also, if the user only enters letters instead of a valid number, it again echos back the page. Currently it wont process an output stating (A+), as it doesnt seem to like the "+" symbol, but it will process the output if written as (Aplus). This is something I have been unable to figure out. Also, currently if the user enters a grade between 0 and 100, it will correctly convert it to a letter grade. If the user enters a number along with a letter, it will display the error, as it should. However, if the user only enters letters, the form proceses and instead of displaying a converted grade, it will display what they entered and append that to the text file, when it should display an error and not allow letters to be entered. Again, I apologize for my lack of knowledge with php, as I am trying to explain what this needs to do as best as possible.

    I have also tried if (($finalgrade >=96) && ($finalgrade <=100) && is_numeric($finalgrade)){ $finalgrade="A"and"+"; in order to print the plus sign, but when I run this, it will only print out a result of "A" instead of "A+".
  10. jharvie
    So what I have attempted to do is to add preg_replace( "/[^0-9_]/", "", $finalgrade ) Which I am assuming will replace any characters other than the numbers 0-9 with blank space. I have then added in preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z_]",$finalgrade) for the echo part which I am under the assumption should tell it that if it detects any letters being entered in the final grade box then it should echo back the error page. However, the form is still accepting submissions with all letters. If there is a number with the letters, then it displays the error. It also functions correctly if just a correct number grade is entered (with no foreign characters). Another question though is how come for the part if (($finalgrade >=86) && ($finalgrade <=90) && is_numeric($finalgrade)) { $finalgrade="Aminus";} I have to have it display (Aminus) instead of simply displaying (A-). If I tell it to display (A-), then it just detects any numbers >=86 and <=90 as invalid as if it contains a letter. Sorry for my lack of php experience, as well as sorry if this is not explained the best. My current code is below: <HTML><?php // This defines the name of the file to be saved with the user information and grades$Savedfile = "FinalGrades.txt"; // This opens the text document named FinalGrades.txt and adds the new data. If it cannot open it, it then displays an error message to the user.$file = fopen($Savedfile,'a') or die("Cannot open file, check permissions"); //This clears the form fields if it is reset$clear = $_POST['reset']; if ($clear == "reset") {} else { //Defines the form variables$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];$coursenumber = $_POST['coursenumber'];$finalgrade = $_POST['finalgrade']; // Uses an if statement to determine the grade as long as the fields are not empty}if (!empty($firstname) and !empty($lastname) and !empty($coursenumber) and !empty($finalgrade) and ($finalgrade >-1 and $finalgrade <101) and is_numeric($finalgrade) and preg_replace( "/[^0-9_]/", "", $finalgrade )) { if (($finalgrade >=0) && ($finalgrade <=59) && is_numeric($finalgrade)){ $finalgrade="F";} if (($finalgrade >=60) && ($finalgrade <=69) && is_numeric($finalgrade)){ $finalgrade="D";} if (($finalgrade >=70) && ($finalgrade <=79) && is_numeric($finalgrade)) { $finalgrade="C";} if (($finalgrade >=80) && ($finalgrade <=85) && is_numeric($finalgrade)) { $finalgrade="B";} if (($finalgrade >=86) && ($finalgrade <=90) && is_numeric($finalgrade)) { $finalgrade="Aminus";} if (($finalgrade >=91) && ($finalgrade <=95) && is_numeric($finalgrade)) { $finalgrade="A";} if (($finalgrade >=96) && ($finalgrade <=100) && is_numeric($finalgrade)){ $finalgrade="Aplus"; } } // If a field is left empty it echos back the main page with extra information that advises the user to fill in information for all fields.if (empty($firstname) or empty($lastname) or empty($coursenumber) or empty($finalgrade) or (!ctype_alpha($finalgrade)) or preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z_]",$finalgrade)){ echo " <html><!-- This Allows the use of css files for the background and font format --><STYLE TYPE='text/css' title='styleid' media='all'></STYLE> <head> <!-- This Sets the title of the page --><title> Enter Course Grades </title> <!-- This imports the css file created to use as the background- defines the styles such as bg image and colors --><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='background.css' /></head> <body> <!-- Centers the company logo image as well as sets the size of 450x150 --><center><img src='Logo.jpg' alt='Company Logo' width='450' height=150'></center> <!-- Creates the first heading for the page --> <center><h1> Enter Course Grades </h1></center><center><h2> Please fill out all fields </h2></center><br> <!-- Creates the form for the grade entries, and when the submit button is pressed, the form created will execute the php file process_EnterGrades.php , which will process the grades appropriately. --><center><Form action ='process_EnterGrades.php' METHOD = 'post'> <!-- Specifies the input types for the form created --> First Name: <input type='text' name='firstname' size='20'>Last Name: <input type='text' name='lastname' size='20'><br><br><br>Course Number: <input type='text' name='coursenumber' size='20'>Final grade in percent (%): <input type='text' name='finalgrade' size='20'></center><br><!-- This creates the submit buttons --><center><table border='3' bordercolor='red'><tr><td><input type='submit' value='Submit Your Entries'><td></FORM> <!-- Below creates a second form that is used to clear the entries --><FORM NAME = 'gradesclear' ACTION = 'gradesclear.php' METHOD = 'post'><td><input type='submit' value='Clear Your Entries'></td></tr></center></FORM> </body> </html> ";} // Displays results entered in the form in a table that is easily interpreted by the userelse {echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='background.css' />";echo "<center><img src='Logo.jpg' alt='Company Logo' width='450' height='150'></center>";echo "<br>";echo "<br>";echo "<br>";echo "<br>";echo "<center><TABLE BORDER='1' WIDTH='50%'> <TR> <TD WIDTH='50%'> First Name: $firstname </TD> <TD WIDTH='50%'>Last Name: $lastname </TD></TR> </TABLE></center>";echo "<center><TABLE BORDER='1' WIDTH='50%'> <TR> <TD WIDTH='50%'> Course Number: $coursenumber </TD> <TD WIDTH='50%'>Final Grade: $finalgrade </TD></TR> </TABLE></center>";//Below will define the format which the fields will be saved to the text document specified at the beginning of this document.$StringData = "First Name: $firstname Last Name: $lastname Course Number: $coursenumber Final Grade: $finalgrade \n ";fwrite($file, $StringData);fclose($file);}?></HTML>

    Hello there, I have a script that I have created. The purpose of the script is a grade entry form. What it does, is the user enters the first and last name, course number, and the grade. The grade is converted from a number grade to a letter, such as A or A+ and redisplayed back to the user, as well as appended to a text file. The problem I am having is that I need to make sure that a valid number (between 0 and 100) is entered into the grade form, and make sure that it doesnt contain any letters, or just letters at all. Currently I have it so that if it contains a number, such as 50, it will convert it to the letter grade as required. If I enter 101, it will redisplay the page and make the user enter a correct grade. If a number such as 60 is entered with a letter, it will also make the user re-enter the information. However, if just letters are entered, it processes the form and displays the output as the same letters that were entered (when it should redisplay the page and ask the user to enter the correct information). Also, it will not display the output as (A+) or (A-) for the grades in those categories. Instead I had to put it to display (Aplus) or (Aminus), as it would not seem to print symbols in the output. If there are any suggestions as to what I have been doing wrong, that would be great. The way the program works is the user enters the information initially into an html version of the page that has to send the information to this php version. If the user enters anything incorrectly, then the php page just echo's back a copy of the original page, but displays a message notifying the user that there was an error. The code is attached below. Thanks in advance! process_EnterGrades.php
