[PHP] Re: validating form data...

2001-10-22 Thread Toke Herkild

Very embaressing
The error where not in my if-statement... but in what I did later on in the
else-clause...
so boys and girls... remember you do not set variables like this:
$Var = = Avariable; // Doesn't work. (slap me!)
the correct is : $Var = Avariable;

Sorry for vasting your time...
And Thanks for all the help...
Toke.

 I've made a script which ought to validate if there is data in the fields
or
 not... but it doesn't seem to work...

 the validation is following:
 if ((email_is_valid($Email)) and ($Name != ) and ($Message != )){
   do stuff ...
 }

 But even if I submit an empty form it executes do stuf...
 I have tried to put an empty space into the $Name and $Message test but
that
 doesn't seem to do any difference either...

[PHP] Re: validating form data...

2001-10-22 Thread Mike Frazer

To verify the existence of both a name and message, try a test similar to
the following:

if ((email_is_valid($email))  (strlen($name)  0)  (strlen($name)  0))
{ ... }

I've found that using  in a conditional block tends to be a bit buggy.
strlen() seems to be pretty solid for verifying the existence of text in a
variable.
