Thread: Can Anybody Help Me Validating my felds

Is there anybody here that can sympel tell me how to make required felds??

Help Me with this

Not many people can do that so far in this forum:(
Bird just did it with the help of Navaldesign after many days of struggle. Navaldesign is out of town actually and will be back tomorrow. I believe that the forum moderators can help but they must consider it's beyond BlueVoda terms of service. It involves script writing, custom-made service and very time-consuming.
I am very close to figure it out though. Just need some information but unfortunately there is nobody to help( .
I was able to get the error pages to appear when trying all combinations but still no luck to complete.
Will tell you if I can ever make it.
Good luck
Quy

Which address ?
I guess that you can make forms work already right? Me too. Now I am trying to make required fields for people to input. If there is nothing in the required fields, an error page will appear.
Actually I am testing a form with only 1 box (required field) and try the codes to see.
Will post if find out anything.
Cheers

Oh that is the error page regarding email. I did It like any other pages.
As a matter of facts, I did 3 error pages for the 3 required fields.
Hence in total I made :
-1 main page with the form (.html)
-1 confirmation page (.html)
-1 php page with same name as the main page but with .php extension
-And the 3 error pages for the 3 required fields. (.html)
All published.

I know my problem is the code that I put inside body tag of the php page. It's not good and need somebody to look at it.

my sites do not have the .html extention can you tell me how you did the error pages??

I need to know:
-Are you using BlueVoda builder?
-Do you have an account with Vodahost yet?
Because if u use BV, the extension .html is automatically converted from .bvp once published

Can u link your sites?

yes i am and i can link my sites the address is http://thiselitelife.com

I see that there is no www either :)
I think that this is a matter of setting only which abbreviates the address. It could be inconvenient because sometimes you need to know what kind of extension is the site you are viewing.
May be someone else can explain better.

Well, i think you have done something like this:

you have created subfolders named as your pages should be. You then saved ALL your pages as index.html, each in it's own folder.
What you see in Blue FTP are not the pages, they are the folders. The links work ok and the site works ok. because having saved the pages as index.html in each folder, your links get the browser to the folder, and it automaticaly defaults to the index.html page. Just to see what i mean, click on http://www.thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshows/

and then on http://www.thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshows/index.html

You get the same result becuse your page is published as index.html .

There is no problem with your site, although it is rather unusual to have a folder for each page. This way you must also first create the folder using Blue FTP, and then publish the page.

Navaldesign, You're the best!

yea really ,so how do i get the .html on the end of the site??

Originally Posted by jabird60

They are there already: you can't see them because the pages are in the folders. Just to convince you: open BlueFTP, connect, and you will see the folders you have created, f.e. the folder elitelifeshows. Double click on it so it's content will appear. You will see that there is a file index.html there.

The same goes for all the folders you have created.

Usually all the pages should be one level up, in your public_html folder. There was no need to create separate folders for each page.

what if i re-name all the pages to like say the home page insed of having home page it be named home page will that work

Maybe i haven't been clear enough. YOUR PAGES ARE ALREADY HTML. The problem is that all of your pages are called the same, "index.html". And each page has been published in a folder of it's own. The steps to correct this, if you wish to do so, would be (it is the same for all your pages except foryour homepage, which is already in the wright folder, the public_html)):
Open the page in Blue Voda. Change the menubar links, that for the moment are like: http://www.thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshows/ in http://www.thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshows.html . Save it with the correct name: f.e. "elitelifeshows". Publish it in the public_html folder, not in the public_html/elitelifeshows folder you have created. Repeat for all pages.

Please befor you do anything keep a backup of your original files, just in case ......

However, i repeat,there's not really any need to do all this.

i know i just figered it out what i did is i put a redirect on the address so if someone goes to thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshow it will redirect them to the address thiselitelife.com/elitelifeshows/index.html



I have a problem like bird is this script right??

Thanks

There are some errors:
1. Rename your fields in Email, Gamertag. Consequently change the script.
2. Do the changes in red.
3. Create the three error pages. You MUST call them as above. Then create also a confirmation page, called "confirmation". When you save them in your computer, save them with these names. Then publish all pages -the form page, the error pages, and the confirmation page, in public_html. To do this, when you go to publishing and the popup window with the username and the password comes up, make sure that in the lower part, where it is written "Folder", only appears "public_html".

4. Then create the php file as my instructions in other posts. Give it the name "registration.php" . Upload it on the public_html folder on your site.

5. Make sure to set the form action in "registration.php", the method to "POST" and the "enctype" in "multipart/form data". Save it on your computer, the publish it in the same folder "public_html".

If you have problems post again.

Sorry to disappoint you Jabird60 but it won’t work cause even I can see there are many mistakes. To name a few:

-redundant lines 9,10,11
{
header("Location: error_name.html");
exit;
-error_gamer tag.html
-if (strlen($e-mail) == 0 )
-
. "Email: $Gamer Tag\n"
. "Essay: $E-mail\n"
-header("Location: .php");

Only one minor mistake can screw up the code.
I suggest it's always good to practice with a simplest form (only 1 required field) like I did. Once you got the hand on it, then you can start to make your own.
I just finished a form with 3 required fields successfully :)
Anyway, I am taking a long vacation abroad and won't be able to hang around this forum for a couple of weeks.
Good luck and take care.
Best regards to all,
Quy

The pages now are ok. However you still go on creating folders for every single page. This is not a usual aproach to page publishing. It might also create you some problems with scripts that require all of the pages to be in the same folder.

However, i'll send you the necessary script. Please note that the php file i'll provide you MUST be published in the same folder as your form, that is ..../signup/

ok i if re-done to whole site it is now the way it should be

sorry, i lost you somewhere in the way, what's the form URL?

Change the php page name in "turnament_sign_ups.php"
Tell me which fields you want to have as "required"

ok i have my script partly working the problem is that it is stuck on the gamer-tag

Rename the field from "Gamer tag" in "Gamertag" . Remember to put in the mail part of the script your email on Vodahost, not an external one.

i am using my vodahost account here is the script maybe i did not fix all the errors yet

<?php
@$Name = addslashes($_POST['Name']);
@$Gamertag = addslashes($_POST['Gamertag']);
@$Email = addslashes($_POST['Email']);
if (strlen($Name) == 0 )
{
header("Location: error_name.html");
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+', $Email ))
{
header("Location: error_email.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($Gamertag) == 0 )
{
header("Location: error_gamertag.html");
exit;
}
$pfw_header = "From: $Email\n"
. "Reply-To: $Email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Turnament Signups";
$pfw_email_to = "turn@thiselitelfie.com";
$pfw_message = "Name: $Name\n"
. "Email: $Email\n"
. "Gamer Tag: $Gamertag\n";
*****($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;
header("Location: confirmation.html");

go to thiselitelife.com/signups and you will see what i mean

There is nothing wrong with the script. Rename the Gamer tag field in Gamertag--- The field name, not the title. The script finds "Gamer tag" so "Gamertag" is null, and gives you the error message.

Dude you awsome

ok i have one more question i have a Check box and a comment feld. and when i get the e-mailed data it only has the name,e-mail,and gamertag

Of course. you only put those in your mail body. Change it to:

<?php
@$Name = addslashes($_POST['Name']);
@$Gamertag = addslashes($_POST['Gamertag']);
@$Email = addslashes($_POST['Email']);
@$Comments = addlashes($_POST['Comments'];
@$Send_Me_News_Letter = addlashes($_POST['Send_Me_News_Letter'];

exit;

{
header("Location: error_email.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($Gamertag) == 0 )
{
header("Location: error_gamertag.html");
exit;
}
$pfw_header = "From: $Email\n"
. "Reply-To: $Email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Turnament Signups";
$pfw_email_to = "turn@thiselitelfie.com";
$pfw_message = "Name: $Name\n"
. "Email: $Email\n"
. "Gamer Tag: $Gamertag\n"
. "Comments : $Comments\n"
. "Send Me News Letter : $Send_Me_Newsletter\n";

Originally Posted by jabird60

I forgot the ) symols in there:

@$Comments = addlashes($_POST['Comments']);
@$Send_Me_News_Letter = addlashes($_POST['Send_Me_News_Letter']);


Also change in the form, the field name in Send_Me_News_Letter, (must be with underscores)

and in the mail body

. "Send Me News Letter : $Send_Me_News_Letter\n";

instead of:

. "Send Me News Letter : $Send_Me_Newsletter\n";
