Nothing particularly difficult to understand, but I just don't like
having
the XML embedded this way.
Ideally, I want a scope aware include function, so I can say _something_
like ...
$s_XML = require_once __CLASS__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
'normalisedError.xml';
and have the include be aware of the local scope (so $o_XML and $this are
all happy).
I know I can write a template parser, but I'm just missing an obvious
solution that isn't fat and doesn't require a massive learning for the
other devs.
Ideas?
normalisedError.xml:
?php
return END_XML
the xml here
END_XML;
Then in your class your require_once line will work. However, use require
instead of require_once otherwise if the function gets called twice it
won't work the second time.

Hello list,
I have a php script that creates a variable number of forms based on a
$_POST variable from a preceding page. It then takes the data input into
the form and neatly packages the result into an email sent to an email
address (eventually to be a ticketing system).
Almost everything on the page works great. The only thing I can't seem to
get working is how to verify that the fields in the form are not left empty
using javascript. The syntax I'm using seems like it should work, however
when I leave one or more of the fields empty, the email gets sent anyway
with the missing data.
Here's the app I was hoping someone might be able to suggest a successful
approach:
html
head
titleLDAP Form/title
body
?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$requestor_email = $_POST['requestor_email'];
$num_forms = $_POST['num_forms'];
}
echo centerYou will be creating $num_forms accounts

[PHP] json_decode mistery
Hello, I am usin json regulary, but in one script I have mistery:
echo($decrypted_data).\n\n;
var_dump(json_decode($decrypted_data, true));
echo \n;
var_dump(json_decode('{result_ok:true,result_message:null,client_name:Radek
Krej\u010da}', true));
I got:
{result_ok:true,result_message:null,client_name:Radek Krej\u010da}
NULL
array(3) {
[result_ok]=
bool(true)
[result_message]=
NULL
[client_name]= a
} string(13) Radek KrejÄ
You can see, that in $decrypted_data, is stored valid (by my opinion) json
data. If I use this variable in json_decode, I got null. And if I manualy use
data displayed on screen, I got valid array.
Where I do mistake? If I remove client_name (so no utf8 is in json data),
situation is the same.

Re: [PHP] iterate javascript verification
You do realize that you shouldn't rely on Javascript to validate
values returned in a form? Also, if you use HTML5, you can use the
required attribute in the input tag and the browser won't let a
user submit a form with a required field not filled. Of course, you
should still validate within your PHP script, in case a user is using
a browser that doesn't understand HTML5.

Re: [PHP] iterate javascript verification
You can validate via JS if required, for example: (JS CODE):
if(element.value.length == 0){
// handle 0 length value
}
I do agree with Ken that you SHOULD NOT perform JS validation. It is
preferable to use php or the new HTML5 features. JS can be turned-off by
the user which will make JS validation impossible.

Re: [PHP] iterate javascript verification
I took your code and modified it to use HTML5 validation (and few
other changes). You can see the results at
http://my-testbed.com/test1/form_validation.phphttp://my-testbed.com/test1/form_validation.php
My code follows:
?php
$fields =
array('first_name','last_name','department','title','email','phone');
$num_forms = 1;
$tmp = array();
$errors = array();
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$requestor_email = $_POST['requestor_email'];
$num_forms = $_POST['num_forms'];
for ($i = 1;$i = $num_forms; ++$i) {
foreach ($fields as $fld) {
if ($_POST[$fld][$i] == '') {
$errors[] = ucwords(str_replace('_','
',$fld)) . for account $i can not be blank;
}
}
}
}
if (!empty($errors)) {
$tmp[] = The following fields are in error:br;
$tmp[] = implode(br\n,$errors);
$tmp[] = br;
}
$tmp[] = div style='text-align:center'You will be creating
$num_forms accounts today./divbr;
$tmp[] = 'div style=text-align:centerform
name=ldap_accounts method=post action=';
$tmp[] = 'br /br /';
for($counter = 1;$counter=$num_forms;$counter++) {
$tmp[] = Enter user: $counterbr /;
$tmp[] = label for='first_name_$counter'First Name:/labelbr/;
$tmp[] = input type='text' required
id='first_name_$counter' name='first_name[$counter]'br /br /;
$tmp[] = label for='last_name_$counter'Last Name:/labelbr /;
$tmp[] = input type='text' required
id='last_name_$counter' name='last_name[$counter]' /br /br /;
$tmp[] = label for='department_$counter'Department:/labelbr/;
$tmp[] = input type='text' required
id='department_$counter.' name='department[$counter]' /br /br /;
$tmp[] = label for='title_$counter'Title:/labelbr /;
$tmp[] = input type='text' required id'title_.$counter'
name='title[$counter]' /br /br /;
$tmp[] = label for='email_.$counter'Email:/labelbr /;

You will notice that I moved the code for the form to above the HTML
section. I believe that very little PHP should be interspersed with
the HTML -- it makes for cleaner code. You can use single quotes
around form attributes so you don't have to escape the double quotes.
The names in the form are now arrays. This makes your life much
easier when extracting the values later in PHP.
When you check the page in a HTML5 aware brower, you will see how the
validation is done.

You can validate via JS if required, for example: (JS CODE):
if(element.value.length == 0){
// handle 0 length value

I do agree with Ken that you SHOULD NOT perform JS validation. It is
preferable to use php or the new HTML5 features. JS can be turned-off by
the user which will make JS validation impossible.

Hello list,
I have a php script that creates a variable number of forms based on a
$_POST variable from a preceding page. It then takes the data input into
the form and neatly packages the result into an email sent to an email
address (eventually to be a ticketing system).
Almost everything on the page works great. The only thing I can't seem to
get working is how to verify that the fields in the form are not left empty
using javascript. The syntax I'm using seems like it should work, however
when I leave one or more of the fields empty, the email gets sent anyway
with the missing data.
Here's the app I was hoping someone might be able to suggest a successful
approach:
html
head
titleLDAP Form/title
body
?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$requestor_email = $_POST['requestor_email'];
$num_forms = $_POST['num_forms'];
}
echo centerYou will be creating $num_forms accounts
today./centerbr /;
for($counter = 1;$counter=$num_forms;$counter++) {
echo 'centerform name=ldap_accounts method=post
action=sendemail.php onsubmit=return validateForm()';
echo 'br /br /';
echo Enter user: $counterbr /;
echo label for=\first_name_.$counter.\First Name:/labelbr
/;
echo input type=\text\ id=\first_name_.$counter.\
