2 separate if/else statements with their OWN error label.

[mat420]

ok i think and hope this will be my last issue with this site.

 

i have two forms on the same contact page, but right now theyre using the same error label. this means if ONE has an error, both forms show as that same error.  id like to somehow separate this and give each one its own label.

i tried doing like error[2] for the 2nd button instead of error[] but then i didnt know what to change the actual "error label" to. do i changed the "$errors = array();" part? to create a second label? i tried to google on it and couldnt figure it out.  thanks a million to anyone who even reads

 

<?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>

 

so my question basically is, how do i use this code below to create a second error case AND label please!!

<?php
if ($_POST['send']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}

 

 

+

<?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>

How about you make multi-dimensional array?

$error[form1][error1]
$error[form2][error1]

[mat420]

yeah i was seeing something when i googled like that i just didnt know if it applied

or how to apply it. that kind of helps though what would it be? this is the part confuses me, would it be like this?

<font color="red"><b><?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error[form2][error2]<p>\n");
}
}
?></font></b>

[mat420]

nope. that error printed as 'Array' hmmm

[kartul]

Well, you have to change the displaying errors code too.

 

//

$errors['form1'][0] = 'asda';
$errors['form1'][1] = 'aasdsda';
$errors['form1'][2] = 'asddwa';
$errors['form2'][0] = 'asdwdwwwwwa';
$errors['form2'][1] = 'a2dafsda';
$errors['form2'][2] = 'asiuuuuda';

foreach($errors['form1'] as $error)
{
    echo $error . "<br />";
}

[mat420]

i did.

<?php

if ($_POST['send2']) {

$errors = array();

if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {

$errors[2] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";

}

if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {

$errors[form2][error2] = "EMAIL 1 != EMAIL2!!!";

}

 

if (!count($errors)) {

// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the

// user will keep getting the SAME code!

captchaDone();

$message = $_POST['email2'];

$body = "Message: $message";

mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);

// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"

// to display some HTML only when the

// user passes the test

?>

I would just add another array, if you know your giong to have 2 forms and only 2 forms it should be no problem:

if ($_POST['send']) {
$errors_form2 = array();

if ($_POST['captcha_form_2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors_form2[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}

 

hope this helps

[mat420]

   if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
      $errors[form2][error2] = "EMAIL 1 != EMAIL2!!!";

[mat420]

hmm i tried to transfer it

<?php
if ($_POST['send2']) {
$errors_form2 = array();
if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors_form2[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
	$errors_form2[] = "EMAIL 1 != EMAIL2!!!";
}

 

 

<input type="submit" name="send2" value="Submit"/>
<font color="red"><b><?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$errors_form2[]<p>\n");
}
}
?>

[ChemicalBliss]

You need to change all the var names remember - and remember what foreach does with its "as" clause.

 

if (isset($errors_form2)) {
foreach ($errors_form2 as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}

 

hope this helps

[mat420]

what am i doing wrong :( :(

 

<?php
if ($_POST['send2']) {
$errors_form2 = array();
if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors_form2[] = "The two emails do not match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!";
}
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();

 

<?php
if (isset($errors_form2)) {
foreach ($errors_form2 as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}

[mat420]

send2 button now completely irresponsive. i added _form2 to the captcha part too, just incase that was the issue.

[mat420]

i know no php btw, probably why im such a pain ;/ haha i do appreciate it though ! im out of ideas :/ im gonna try to keep messing with it.

[mat420]

*sigh.

 

i tried this method too and im failing

<?php
if ($_POST['send2']) {
$errors['abc'] = array();
if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors['abc'] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors['abc'] = "The two emails do not match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!";
}

+ i tried this next to the text box AND at the bottom where the next code im going to post is

<?php if(isset($errors['abc'])) echo $errors['abc']; ?>

 

<font color="red"><b><?php
if (isset($errors['abc'])) {
foreach ($errors['abc'] as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>
</font>

[mat420]

absolutely nothing will post here

<?php
if (isset($errors['abc'])) {
foreach ($errors['abc'] as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>

i even tried using error[abc] under "send" instead of send2 since i know the 'send' works

 

=[ im clueless.

[ChemicalBliss]

This is pretty much what it should look like, I misread your original post.

 

<?php
if ($_POST['send']) {

$errors = array();

if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors['captcha2'] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}

if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
	$errors['email2'] = "EMAIL 1 != EMAIL2!!!";
}

if (!count($errors)) {
	captchaDone();
	$message = $_POST['email2'];
	$body = "Message: $message";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
}
}else{

$captcha_error = (isset($errors['captcha2']))? $errors['captcha2'] : NULL;
$email_error = (isset($errors['email2']))? $errors['email2'] : NULL;

echo('
	<form action="" method="post">
		<input type="text" name="captcha2" />'.$captcha_error.'<br />
		<input type="text" name="email1" /><br />
		<input type="text" name="email2" />'.$email_error.'<br />
		<input type="submit" value="Send" name="send" />
		<br/>
		'.((count($errors) >= 1)? 'Please correct the errors before continuing.' : NULL).'
	</form>
');
}
?>

 

hope this helps

[mat420]

that wont even load

i hate programming so much.

thats a completely different setup.

 

i put that immediately after the other php if/else statements and it just doesnt load.

i dont understand this code enough to mess with it at all. there is no way to keep my original format? the send button works perfect, i just cant get send2 to work correct.

theres no way to get one of the 2 methods i was trying to use to work right?

thanks so much. idk what else to do.

[mat420]

i dont get why neither of these will print an error for me

 

<?php if(isset($errors['abc'])) echo $errors['abc']; ?>



<font color="red"><b><?php
if (isset($errors['abc'])) {
foreach ($errors['abc'] as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>
</font>

[BlueSkyIS]

$errors['abc'] must not be set since isset($errors['abc']) is not true.

[mat420]

dk what that means exactly sorry.

[mat420]

sum of problem

 

this code i have works PERFECT. i just need 'send2' to send its error to a separate label, and how to call that label under the correct form.

 

<?php
if ($_POST['send']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if (empty($_POST['email']))  {
	$errors[] = "Please enter an e-mail address"; 
} 
else if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email'])) 
{ 
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; 
} 
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();
$name_field = $_POST['name']; 
$email_field = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$optional = $_POST['callback'];
$cs = $_POST['cs'];
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$body = "Name: $name_field, Email: $email_field, Phone: $phone, Location: $cs, Call Them! $optional, Message: $message";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
	// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"
	// to display some HTML only when the 
	// user passes the test

[The Letter E]

nope. that error printed as 'Array' hmmm

 

FYI if something prints as 'Array' do either a print_r($myarray) or var_dump($myarray) on it to give you a better idea of the structure you are working with.

[mat420]

i honestly dont think i could even recreate whatever did that

i got it exactly how i need

errrors are posting

just need the errors to post to separate spots

take a look please
