Markers on form

[dazz_club]

Hi people.

Its a form question, again. You know when sometimes you fill out a form, press send and the next page that appears is one saying you have filled it out wrong, displaying a marker or a flag next the input box that has not been filled in correctly.

how would i go about doing that?

cheers

Would you like me to just build that form for you/any other project you're doing?

I'm not having a go at you mate. If you just ask for help without doing a bit of research and hold your hand out for code (so to speak), you'll never learn how to do things for yourself. Not to mention you'll never understand what the code actually does.

I'm all about helping, but sometimes you have to do things for yourself. Then, and only then should you post about something. We were all newbs at one point in our life, and I understand that, but just asking for code is not the right way to go about it.

Now, like I said, I'm all about helping.. so here's some code.

Code: Select all

<input type="text" name="lazy">

PHP:

if(!$_POST['lazy'])
{
echo("Fill it in please");
}

Hi,

sorry if you thought i was just asking for asking for the code, in all honesty i wouldnt know where to start in regards to creating this particular code myself. When you guys help out with codes and stuff, thats when i learn because i always have to edit ti to suit what i need, indoing thats when understand what line of code does what.Only now i am understanding how it works by gradually building a form and using this as a foundation to improve upon my php knowledge.

cheers for your help, i`m alsways appreciative people like yourself.

Something like this maybe:

[php]<?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if (isset($_POST['test'])) {
echo "DO WHATEVER YOU WANT";
} else {
echo "YOU FORGOT TO ENTER SOMETHING IN THE TEST_FIELD";
}
} else { ?>

<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="test" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

<?php } ?>[/php]

Maybe I was a bit harsh, and for that I'm sorry. It is easy to forget being new and not really having a clue what to search for. Hope any of the above bits of code help you.
