[PHP-DB] php/sendmail help!

[jusa_98]

Hi, I have a form, form results are PUSHED to another page and processed.  
Files below. (in plain-tet)
   
  Now this is what I want to do:
   
  1) Make all fields required input, but if easy to configure I want to have 
rules for each textarea.  For instance an email address must contain a '@' 
symbol.  Must be at leat 5 character longs and must be in a form of an email 
address.  So if I type [EMAIL PROTECTED] it would produce an error, 
highlighting the error area or display a message at the top of the page.  
Postcode should contain 4 numbers and numbers only, etc.  The only field that 
can be left blank will be the message area.  How do I achieve this? (message 
regarding this below)
   
  2) I want to add to the form a UNIQUE ID generater.  I will add a new hidden 
form field for this.  I need a script called by PHP to generate it.  Would 
include both letters and numbers and be atleast 8 CHARS long.
   
  As for 1) I have tried some javascript but it failed, since I PUSH all field 
responses to another page.  When i add it the submit button fails and does not 
push the results through.  But it produces the error fine, but form is not 
PUSHED on.  So it seems it's lost because of the javascript.  So i took it out 
completely.  I think there is a way in PHP to call errors for forms?  But 
anways, here are the files below.  Please help, I am on a tight schedule here 
if anyone can assist me.
   
  file one looks like this: (form.php)

  FYI I have changed some email settings and configuration files for security 
reasons.  But as you can see results are pushed to the second file than emailed 
off, no need for a database or anything.  So you should be able to test very 
easily.
   
  If anyone can help with suggestions or even do the code it would be mostly 
appreciated, can pay since it's urgent.
   
  Thanks for your time!

RE: [PHP-DB] php/sendmail help!

[bastien_k]

You are in serious need of some regex here...google email regex and you will 
have enough results to get you what you want.

Postal Code (assume 2 letters 4 dgits in that order

  if (ereg("^[A-Z]{2}{0-9]{4}$",$_POST['postal'])){
...

As for pasting it back to the form, I would suggest you have the form as a 
function and the processing code as a function, then you can pass the post 
arrays back and forth and pass the error handling along with it

[PHP-DB] css

[JeRRy]

Hi everyone,
   
  I have created this website in PHP and mySQL at http://www.bps-testntag.com/ 
but have come accross an error I was not aware of before.
   
  Now I am using stylesheets and I have been surfing the net for about 90 
minutes and yet to find a solution, so thought I'd post here, could be basic 
but i can't find it online anywhere.  Get alot of forum refrences but no 
solution.
   
  Here is the code below before I continue:
   
  
  html {
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
} 
body {
margin : 0; 
padding : 0 1px; 
border : 0; 
height : 100px; 
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
} 
body {
font-family : arial, serif; 
font-size : 16px; 
} 
#page {
margin : 310px 0 50px 250px; 
display : block; 
width : 500px; 
border : 1 solid #000; 
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
padding : 10px; 
} 
#page .right {
font-size : 30px; 
float : right; 
} 
#menu {
display : block; 
top : 110px; 
left : 20px; 
width : 130px; 
position : fixed; 
border : 0; 
padding : 10px; 
text-align : center; 
font-weight : bold; 
color : #fff; 
} 
* html #menu {
position : absolute; 
} 
#menu a:visited, #menu a {
display : block; 
width : 120px; 
height : 20px; 
margin : 0 auto; 
border-top : 0 solid #fff; 
border-bottom : 0 solid #000; 
text-align : center; 
text-decoration : none; 
line-height : 20px; 
color : #000; 
} 
#menu a:hover {
background : #aaa; 
color : #fff; 
} 
.clear {
clear : both; 
} 
p:first-letter {
font-size : 25px; 
color : #cc; 
} 
#fixpic {
display : block; 
width : 108px; 
height : 145px; 
position : fixed; 
bottom : 0; 
left : 0; 
} 
* html #fixpic {
position : absolute; 
} 
#adsie {
position : absolute; 
top : 10px; 
right : 30px; 
} 


  Now I have been told NOT to use "px" but use "%" for meassurements because 
this is relient on resolution/screen_size.  
   
  HOWEVER what does 1px equal in %?
   
  Some have said 30px equals 3% and some say 30px equals 30%.  30px and 30% 
don't seem right, I changed my CSS for this and it pushes everything only 
slightly to the RIGHT.  But removes the menu altogether.
   
  Can anyone offer some help here?
   
  Also if a table is made like this:
   
Is that default % or px or what?  What is the 
best method to use that will work in people using screens of 600* and 1024* and 
both be able to view the site cleanly and easily?
   
  I will continue to surf.

[PHP-DB] css #2

[JeRRy]

Okay I did some more surfing, on a VERY popular website used by neally a 
million users.  I checked their CSS and they use px and pt meassurements.  So 
maybe that is not my issue than.  Maybe I don't have an issue to worry about?
   
  What are people's thoughts on this, all the input the better here as I am 
creating a website that will be viewed by alot of people so want it readable by 
the majority.  I know screen res of 600* is very old and few would use it, the 
site appears pretty big with it but things appears just about where it should.  
However when you try and view the copyright notice it cuts the last line out, 
what causes this?  Would It be useful to add to breaks at the end?

Not a php related question at all for starters but anywayi think you 
need to read up on CSS layout's if the site is properly structure using 
CSS then you will not have much to worry about regarding different 
resolutions.  Ever heard of floats?


google will show you the light!

Okay I did some more surfing, on a VERY popular website used by neally a 
million users.  I checked their CSS and they use px and pt meassurements.  So 
maybe that is not my issue than.  Maybe I don't have an issue to worry about?
  
 What are people's thoughts on this, all the input the better here as I am creating a website that will be viewed by alot of people so want it readable by the majority.  I know screen res of 600* is very old and few would use it, the site appears pretty big with it but things appears just about where it should.  However when you try and view the copyright notice it cuts the last line out, what causes this?  Would It be useful to add to breaks at the end?

 Hi everyone,
  
 I have created this website in PHP and mySQL at http://www.bps-testntag.com/ but have come accross an error I was not aware of before.
  
 Now I am using stylesheets and I have been surfing the net for about 90 minutes and yet to find a solution, so thought I'd post here, could be basic but i can't find it online anywhere.  Get alot of forum refrences but no solution.
  
 Here is the code below before I continue:
  
 
 html {
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
} 
body {
margin : 0; 
padding : 0 1px; 
border : 0; 
height : 100px; 
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
} 
body {
font-family : arial, serif; 
font-size : 16px; 
} 
#page {
margin : 310px 0 50px 250px; 
display : block; 
width : 500px; 
border : 1 solid #000; 
background : url(images/background3.jpg); 
padding : 10px; 
} 
#page .right {
font-size : 30px; 
float : right; 
} 
#menu {
display : block; 
top : 110px; 
left : 20px; 
width : 130px; 
position : fixed; 
border : 0; 
padding : 10px; 
text-align : center; 
font-weight : bold; 
color : #fff; 
} 
* html #menu {
position : absolute; 
} 
#menu a:visited, #menu a {
display : block; 
width : 120px; 
height : 20px; 
margin : 0 auto; 
border-top : 0 solid #fff; 
border-bottom : 0 solid #000; 
text-align : center; 
text-decoration : none; 
line-height : 20px; 
color : #000; 
} 
#menu a:hover {
background : #aaa; 
color : #fff; 
} 
.clear {
clear : both; 
} 
p:first-letter {
font-size : 25px; 
color : #cc; 
} 
#fixpic {
display : block; 
width : 108px; 
height : 145px; 
position : fixed; 
bottom : 0; 
left : 0; 
} 
* html #fixpic {
position : absolute; 
} 
#adsie {
position : absolute; 
top : 10px; 
right : 30px; 
} 



 Now I have been told NOT to use "px" but use "%" for meassurements because this is relient on resolution/screen_size.  
  
 HOWEVER what does 1px equal in %?
  
 Some have said 30px equals 3% and some say 30px equals 30%.  30px and 30% don't seem right, I changed my CSS for this and it pushes everything only slightly to the RIGHT.  But removes the menu altogether.
  
 Can anyone offer some help here?
  
 Also if a table is made like this:
  
   Is that default % or px or what?  What is the best method to use that will work in people using screens of 600* and 1024* and both be able to view the site cleanly and easily?
  
 I will continue to surf.
  
 J
