validate then redirect

@KamuiOct 18.2005

Still working on this but, I want to validate a text field of certain characters only, then if everything checks out right then redirect to the next page.

heres what I got so far

[code=php] <?php // start the session session_start(); header(“Cache-control: private”); //IE 6 Fix

// Get the user’s input from the form $name = $_POST[‘Name’];

// Register session key with the value $_SESSION[‘Name’] = $name;

/* Validation */

function Name($name){ if(!preg_match(“/[^a-zA-Z_ ]+$/s”,$name)) return TRUE; else return FALSE; }

/* Validation */

$error=0; // check up variable

/* get it checking */

if(!Name($name)){ echo “Illegal input $name in “Name””; $error++; // $error=$error+1; }

if($error == “0”){ echo ” // i dont know what to put here

}else{ echo “Number of errors: $error”; }

?> [/code]

it does the checking but i cant figure out what the code is to redirect…

@purefanOct 18.2005 — #you could try
[code=php]header("Location:http://somewhere.com/index.php"); [/code]
but you cant print anything before this line

@LiLcRaZyFuZzYOct 18.2005 — #[code=php]header("Location: http://url.com");[/code]
but becareful, there should be no content sent prior to this

--oops, i didnt see someone already answered the question! :rolleyes:

@KamuiauthorOct 18.2005 — #

[code=php]
 /* Validation */
 
 $error=0; // check up variable
 
 /* get it checking */
 
 if(!Name($name)){
 echo "Illegal input $name in "Name"";
 $error++; // $error=$error+1;
 }
 
 if($error == "0"){
 header ("Location http://site.com/jobsubmission.php");
 }
 [/code]

tried and dotn work... im inserting the code in the validation part of the code

so theres an 'if' statement leading

@LiLcRaZyFuZzYOct 18.2005 — #you forgot the ":" after Location

@KamuiauthorOct 18.2005 — #can i merge two php files so that they work as one?

Basically I want the user to fill out a form, if the name meets the requirements it emails the form data to me. Or can I include the validate part into my form?

Validate.php

[code=php]
 <?php
 // start the session 
 session_start(); 
 header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix 
 
 // Get the user's input from the form 
 $name = $_POST['Name']; 
 
 // Register session key with the value 
 $_SESSION['Name'] = $name; 
 
 /* Validation */
 function Name($name){
 if(!preg_match("/[^a-zA-Z_ ]+$/s",$name)) return TRUE;
 else return FALSE;
 }
 
 /* Validation */
 
 $error=0; // check up variable
 
 /* get it checking */
 
 if(!Name($name)){
 echo "Illegal input $name in "Name"";
 $error++; // $error=$error+1;
 }
 
 if($error == "0"){
 header ("Location: http://site.com/file.php");
 }
 ?>
 [/code]

Mailerscript.php

[code=php]

@purefanOct 18.2005 — #you can [i]include[/i] one file into another using the require tag:
[code=php]require ("MyPage.php");[/code]
it will then work as if you had typed all MyPage.php into the current document.

LiLcRaZyFuZzY: hehe i answered first! I answered first! just kidding ?

@SheldonOct 19.2005 — #If you use an include or require to pull the validation and email script it will run it at the same time as it creates the form. what you want to to if you want the code on the same page is something like...

[code=php]
 <?php
 if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 
 //this will check if the user has submitted the form
 
 ###Validation script and email to user if valid###
 
 
 } else {
 
 //so they havnt submitted the form yet huh?
 //well then create the form so that they can!!
 
 ###Form script here ####
 //your form script will redirect to the same pager name as the file is called. eg:
 
 <form method="post" action="thispage.php">
 
 
 //end action
 }
 ?>
 [/code]

You will want to run your validation script in a if/else situation

so if vaild send email else Location: /mailscript.php
