Hi All
I'm new to php my problem is on sending the form if a specific field is empty how would I stop it being sent. Or would I need to translate empty to NULL or is this a mysql prob with a query. If so could a mod move this to the relevant place pls.
Any help much appreciated.
<?php
$db_host = "localhost";
$db_user = "user";
$db_pwd = "password";
$db_name = "users";
mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);
mysql_select_db($db_name);
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>My first MySQL form submission</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass"><br>
Re-enter: <input type="password" name="pass"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit!">
</form>
<?php
} else {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
$enc = md5($pass);
$enc1 = md5($name);
$encf = md5($enc1, $enc);
$email = $_POST['email'];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `info` (name, pass, email) VALUES ('$name', '$encf', '$email')");
echo "Success! You've been added!";
}
?>
</body>
</html></body>
</html>
Could I use something like ($_POST = "") | also whats the correct syntax to close if is it ]
also to compare a string would this be correct ($pass = $pass1) |
Thanks before hand.

Hi there,
coming up with a simple client side validation using javascript would be a good idea.. you can invoke the validation funtion on the OnSubmit event.. look at the below example.. -
<html>
-
<head>
-
<script type="text/javascript">
-
function validate_required(field,alerttxt)
-
{
-
with (field)
-
{
-
if (value==null||value=="")
-
{alert(alerttxt);return false}
-
else {return true}
-
}
-
}function validate_form(thisform)
-
{
-
with (thisform)
-
{
-
if (validate_required(email,"Email must be filled out!")==false)
-
{email.focus();return false}
-
}
-
}
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<form action="submitpage.htm" onsubmit="return validate_form(this)" method="post">
-
Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30">
-
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
-
</form>
-
</body>
-
</html>

Just a quick addition, could you tell me do I compare two strings in php like this (!isset($_POST['pass'])=($_POST['pass1'])) |

Thanks
Hi there,
am not a php kind of person.. yet i found some tips & tricks for you.. see below.. hope it helps you to get started.. good luck my fren.. :)
isset -- Determine whether a variable is set
Description
bool isset ( mixed var [, mixed var [, ...]] )
Returns TRUE if var exists; FALSE otherwise.
If a variable has been unset with unset(), it will no longer be set. isset() will return FALSE if testing a variable that has been set to NULL. Also note that a NULL byte ("\0") is not equivalent to the PHP NULL constant.
strcmp -- Binary safe string comparison
Description
int strcmp ( string str1, string str2 )
Returns < 0 if str1 is less than str2; > 0 if str1 is greater than str2, and 0 if they are equal.
Note that this comparison is case sensitive. -
<?php
-
$pw1 = "yeah";
-
$pw2 = "yeah";
-
-
if (strcmp($pw1, $pw2)) { // This returns false.
-
// $pw1 and $pw2 are NOT the same.
-
} else {
-
// $pw1 and $pw2 are the same.
-
}
-
-
Where the use of the == operator would give us.:
-
if ($pw1==$pw2) { // This returns true.
-
// $pw1 and $pw2 are the same.
-
} else {
-
// $pw1 and $pw2 are NOT the same.
-
}
-
?>

What sashi says about using strcmp is good, you can get lots of help from www.php.net
in the document section, in fact you can download a help file (which I have) which contains everything so you don't keep having to go back to your web-browser.
comparison in php is one of
== equals
=== precisely the same as
as an example -
$a = false;
-
$b = 0;
-
-
if ( $a == $b)
-
{
-
echo("A == B");
-
}
-
-
-
if ( $a === $b)
-
{
-
echo("A === B");
-
}
-
this will only output the first echo statement. This is because false is a boolean value and 0 is a integer value. false when convert to a integer takes the value 0 so $a is equal to $b, however $a and $b are not precisely the same because they are of different types.
This is quite an import distinction when you call some library functions which return a value or false if they fail.
