form validation

35 New Member
So basically i have a form with a action attribute set to another form, it is a survey spread among several pages and using php sessions, now im trying to validate the form with Javascript but it looks imposible because the check boxes all have the same name Q1[](and the array symbol is conflicting with js), the same name is needed for processing the answers with php in the database, i am able to make a form validation of the form below using PHP(if nothing is selected the form wont go to form Q2.php, if more than 1 checkboxe is selected same thing will happen) but can't do it using echo ,like echoing "you must select at least one checkbox" so i try with JS but neither with succes.

Q1.php :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <head>
  2.   <title></title>
  3.   <script>
  4.   function validation(){
  5.    if (document.form.Q1.checked == false/* &&
  6.         document.form.CHKBOX_2.checked == false &&
  7.         document.form.CHKBOX_3.checked == false*/)
  8.         {
  9.         alert ('You didn\'t choose any of the checkboxes!');
  10.         return false;
  11.         }
  12.     else
  13.         {
  14.         return true;
  15.         }
  16.    }
  17.   </script>
  18.  
  19. </head>
  20.  
  21. <body>
  22. <form method="post" name="form"  action="Q2.php" onsubmit="javascript:validation()">

See getElementsByTa gName().

Also, please in future make the distinction between a PHP problem and a Javascript one.

Loop over the elements returned and then check each one:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. if (elems[0].checked) ...
where elems is the collection/array returned.

Where can I find an online PHP form validator script library to use? I have tried hacking the one here at work for weeks now and it's getting more and more impossible to customize, especially now with form elements that turn out to be arrays that have to be compared with one another!

Hello all! As embarrassing as it is to admit this, I've been designing db driven websites using javascript and vbscript for about 6-7 years now, and I am *horrible* at form validation. To be honest I usually hire someone to do it for me, grab predone scripts and kind of hack out the parts that I need, or just do very minimal validation (e.g. this is numeric, this is alpha-numeric, etc.)

Hi, I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql db. I would like to validate the form. I have tried a couple of Javascript form validation functions, but it appears that the data goes straight to the processing page, rather than the javascript seeing if data is missing and popping up an alert. I thought it may be because much of the form is populated with data from the db (lists, etc.), but when I leave...

Hello guys, now that I'm that I'm working on my first major 'open' forms (with uncontrolled users I mean, not a secure backend-interface), I'd like to add a lot of possibilities to check wether certain fields match certain criteria, and inform the user in different ways when the data is wrong (offcourse, this will be checked on posting the data again, but that's something I've got a lot of experience with). Now, offcourse it's...
