[PHP] Code help on a multi select list
I want to do a server side trap if a user selects more
from a mult select list then allowed. Just unsure and
didn't find any examples. Seems people rely more on
javascript these days.
So here is how I grab the array:
if ( is_array( $_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] ) ) {
$_SESSION['l_industry'] = array_unique(
array_merge( $_SESSION['l_industry'],
$_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] )
);
}
here is my somewhat hazy notion:
if
( is_array( $_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] ) ) {
$_SESSION['l_industry'] = array_unique(
if $l_industry 5
( Here I'm guess I need to redirect back to page
with and error message)
else
array_merge( $_SESSION['l_industry'],
$_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] )
);
}

[snip] I want to do a server side trap Seems people rely more on javascript these days. [/snip] There is a reason for that. It is in the first chapter of the popular book Server Side is From Mars, Client Side is From Venus. Make no mistake, people often confuse the two. You, being the smart programmer that you are, know that PHP is a server-side language and JavaScript (often known as ECMAScript 290) is a client-side language. You must be in touch with both sides to become an effective programmer in today's world. Other languages are also mentioned. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Code help on a multi select list
It is not my intention to start a discussion on this, however, some things, as you surely know, are better handled with javascript. If you turn it the way you say now, I can follow your idea and thus you are correct. It has te be very closed it seems. Will look into it :) -Original Message- From: Stuart Felenstein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vrijdag 29 oktober 2004 15:29 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Code help on a multi select list --- Reinhart Viane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would choose javascript to to check this This response I don't understand.

Stuart Precisely... you can't rely on the the client to do your checking. You need to check from the server side to make sure no one's going to spoof your code. With that in mind, you mind want to implement both client-side and server-side checking. That way, it gives your legitimate users a more user-friendly approach, while still ensuring from the server-side that no one's going to spoof your form. -- Regards, Ben Ramsey http://benramsey.com --- Atlanta PHP - http://www.atlphp.org/ The Southeast's premier PHP community. --- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Sorry, I used the wrong terminology. I think my statement was interpreted as using javascript at the server level.

No sense in blasting a bad form post off to the server if you can preempt it with javascript.
