Help with validation question

[keltik]

I'm new to php, so please excuse my ignorance.

 

Here's my issue:

On my website, I want to ask the following question to validate the person filling in the form is a real person:

 

Which is the hottest:

FIRE or ICE ?

 

Right now, my code is only set to accept all caps - which is confusing some of my customers.

 

How to I update the following code, to allow caps and lowercase answers?

 

if (empty( $_POST['validate'] ) || !ctype_upper( $_POST['validate'] ) || ($_POST['validate']!="ICE" and $_POST['validate']!="FIRE")){

$errors->add('empty_username', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please check your validation answer.'));

}

put this above your code

 

$_POST['validate'] = strtoupper($_POST['validate'])

I put what you gave me above

if (empty( $_POST['validate'] ) ||

 

It's coming back with a syntax error though... told you I was new. 

 

Could you show me using my original code where this needs to go?

 

Thanks so much!

if (strtoupper($_POST['validate']) != 'FIRE'){
      $errors->add('empty_username', __('<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please check your validation answer.'));
   }
