Hands up to those two, I didn't check carefully enough!! (Actually, I so
seldom use the brace style that I probably just forgot PHP doesn't let you omit
that semicolon ;)
value=?php echo $_POST['firstname']; ?
Nope, that one's definitely not necessary -- I actually think it looks ugly, so
never put one in just before ?

Mike and all,
guess I still have something wrong as I am getting this error:
*Parse error*: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting
T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in *
/hsphere/local/home/bruceg/inspired-evolution.com/Contact_Form.phphttp://evolution.com/Contact_Form.php
* on line *52*
line 52 is:
input class=?PHP
if ($error_msg) {echo error}
else {echo normal}
? id=firstname name=firstname type=text value=?php
echo $_POST['firstname'] ?
how would I fix this error?

? id=firstname name=firstname type=text value=?PHP echo

Re: [PHP] re: some problems with php form
Seems like you're using some sort of a template or something.
I am not familiar with this type, so I'm afraid I can't be of much
help... but if i had to guess, it seems that you have to use {} instead
of ?PHP and ? So try this :
replace from the ?PHP line down to the input.error/input.normal line
with this
?php
/*
* Do all the logic BEFORE the form layout
*/
$class = input.normal;
if ($error_msg)
$class = input.error;
$form_block=END_FORM
form method=post action={$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']} class=info_request

input class={$class?} id=firstname name=firstname type=text

Regarding the regex,
check out this page http://www.sitepoint.com/article/regular-expressions-php
the gist of it is

sorry, my editor has not indented again

also, I want the field to appear hilighted when there is no
information so I am doing this:
input class=? if($error_msg){ echo error; } ELSE { echo
normal; } id=firstname name=firstname type=text
value={$_POST['firstname']}? /
I think the quote mark balancing is messed up here...
input class=
this starts a quote for the class=
There appears to be no ending quote for that...
It may simply have been lost in email editing, however...
adding the input.error didn't solve the problem dang it.! If there is
a ending quote missing, I don't see it right off hand.
I know have:
input class=? if($error_msg){ echo input.error; } ELSE { echo
input.normal; } id=firstname name=firstname type=text
value={$_POST['firstname']}? /
Shouldn't you jsut be echoing error or normal . A period isn't
allowed in a class dafinition, and the css will work for all elements of
type input with a class of error. Also you don't seem to be closing the
PHP tag at the right place
This is how I would do what it looks like you're trying to do.
input class=?php echo !empty($error_msg)?'error':'normal'? id=firstname name=firstname
type=text value=?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['firstname'])? /
Chris
in the css:
input.error {
border: 2px inset red;
margin:0;
font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #036;
width: 15em;
padding-left: .25em;
font-weight: bold;
