[RBASE-L] - RE: OT +x3 PHP

[MikeB]

I give every edit box an "id" that begins with "req" for REQUIRED, like 
id="reqFName" or id="reqLName", then I iterate through the Form collection 
of objects and any that begins with "req" is tested for its' condition.  In 
the following, I predefine an array that has the id of the fields to iterate 
through instead

var arInpNames = [["reqfname","FIRST Name"],["reqlname","LAST 
Name"],["reqemail","EMAIL"]];

for (i=0; i < arInpNames.length; i++)
       {
         oEl = document.getElementById(arInpNames[i][0]);
         if (oEl.value.length===0)
           {
             alert(arInpNames[i][1] + " MUST be entered!!");
             oEl.focus();
             DataGood = false;
             break;
           }
       }

In the above instance, the array arInpNames contains the name value pairs of 
the fields and what they should contain, like:


so if "reqlname" doesn't have a value (its length is 0) then the alert 
contains the Name identifier that the user would see next to the field.

DataGood is a boolean that is tested after the exit of the iteration of the 
fields and if it is true, then it is in condition to be sent to the server.

yeah PHP is server side scripting so the user has to send the data to the 
server and check it.  While Javascript is client side so before they even 
send the data you can check it. here is my standard javascript validation 
code..
//new member form validation
function isEmptyNM()
{
if (document.memnew.fn.value == "" || document.memnew.fn.value ==null)
 {
 alert ("Please enter your first name.");
 document.memnew.fn.focus();

I expressed almost my entire knowledge of PHP in the last post...   ;-)

However, if you are doing validation on the client side, you wouldn't use 
PHP.  You would use JScript or JavaScript.

 PHP can't know what you are doing at the client.

Thank you Mike-

I was looking for a form like feel and make sure certain fields were 
filled
or it would not send.  So I need to check 'field1','field2','field3, 
etc...
And make sure they have something in there.  Do I just write the code 
as:

if(trim(field1)=="") or if(trim(field2) or if(trim(field3) or
if(trim(etc...) $validationOK=false;

The problem I have is the 20+ fields and wanting to make sure I have the
code right.




Sincerely,
Paul D.

Both of the following are the same, that is why it said OR.  I always 
use
the first in any language just to be clear at the expense of verbosity.

if(call()==TRUE)

if(call())

Getting mixed input from the php manual and it is a rather simple (in
RBase)
script so:



if (Trim($EN6365)=="") $validationOK=false;



I would like to include all fields that are entered (no empty fields) 
so
what is the separator for this?  Is it as simple as the example below 
and
just use the 'or' even if this example shown had that commented out?





Sincerely,

Paul Dewey





Example:

<?php


if(call()==TRUE) // or if(call())
{
// nothing to do
}
else
{
// do something here
}
?>
