I do the same thing. When the form is displayed initially, with a simple
link to the script, there are no values in the $_POST array so
$_POST['last_name]' is blank and the result is value=
When someone fills in the form and posts it back to the script
$_POST['last_name'] may have a value. The script should do some error
checking for missing input (or whatever else it requires). If something
is wrong then the form will be redisplayed but with the user's input for
last_name and the other fields echoed. This is much better than the
usual instructions to 'go back and complete the form'.
Does that make sense?

Sheila,
The problem is that this (the 'value=' ' entry) appears on the form:
?=$_POST['last_name'];?
and similar entries in the other input windows. These do not clear and
have to be deleted when the requested detail is being inserted.
The script does what you describe and returns the form with a message
specifying where the fresh entry needs to be made.But can this be
achieved only with the little piece of script turning up on the form when
first called? And having to be deleted? In the book the fields are shown
blank, but I cannot see anything that I am not copying as instructed.
And, although the form code has this
input name=req type=hidden id=req value=process
and the script has this
switch ($_REQUEST['req']) {
I get an error message that 'req' is not defined.I mention it because it
seems possible the two problems are connected.

This means php isn't seeing the page before it's sent to the browser.
I bet you are running this on your local PC. And I bet you are
double-clicking the shortcut to open it, or just putting the page address
into the browser (file://C:/pages/mypage.htm style of thing), or smething
instead of browsing http://localhost/mypage.htm, so that when it first shows
up it isn't getting processed by the Web server and therefore the php is
being seen and displayed by the browser instead of being processed by php.
And, although the form code has this
input name=req type=hidden id=req value=process
and the script has this
switch ($_REQUEST['req']) {
I get an error message that 'req' is not defined.
Looks to me like a dumb mistake by the script author proving (s)he never
tested it after writing it.. Should be $_POST['req'] - there is no REQUEST
set of variables in php.

$_REQUEST does exist.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.request
The script is complaining about $_REQUEST['req'] which does not exist
the first time through unless you add it to the URL:
http://localhost/mypage.php?req=somevalue
That's not the best solution. Better would be to test if
$_REQUEST['req'] exists and assign a value to a variable based on the
result.
if (isset($_REQUEST['req']) {
$myRequest = $_REQUEST['req'];
} else {
$myRequest = 'somevalue';
}
Then change the switch variable
switch ($myRequest) {
Note that 'somevalue' needs to be the actual value needed to make the
form display empty.
I hope all this makes sense. It would be easier to explain with more of
the script to look at.

I am calling the form directly (though through the server) so you have
sorted that for me -- thank you.
And the $_REQUEST -- I had wondered from what I had digested of the
manual on this if that might be so.And changing it to $_POST moves the
errors on a bit; even got ZA asking if Apache could send emails.
As you suggest I am wondering, not so much if it was tested, as if it was
rewritten rather than pasted into the book. I have identified things like
'.' instead of'';' and things like this $_REQUEST which I haven't yet
confidence to challenge.
It is possible that it is an adaptation of a set of scripts he describes
creating for a phone directory site. If he didn't then test it can be full
of errors of course.
Thanks Bj,

[wdvltalk] Re: an input puzzle - html/php
Sheila,
I am at the stage a bit like the nascent swimmer made to take his feet off
the bottom; I've done that and I still can't swim! Hope to do better with
this ;-).
First the form. This will - I haven't got to it - be called by a php
script so the php should be read then. If not 'I'll be back'.
I follow the principle of the isset code, but don't yet grasp the code
itself. I don't know how much of the script to show you, but here is the
first twenty or so lines. I have already needed to set the top variables
and have now changed the $_REQUEST back for you to see::
?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/layout.php';
//set some variables
$email_error = false;
$password_error = false;
switch ($_REQUEST['req']) {
case process : // code to process signup input and place in database
myheader(Become a member: step 2);
//Validate all required fields were posted
if(!$_POST['first_name'] ||
!$_POST['last_name'] ||
!$_POST['email_address'] ||
!$_POST['email_address2'] ||
!$_POST['username'] ||
!$_POST['password'] ||
!$_POST['password2'] ||
!$_POST['bio']){
$error = true;
$errors = h4Form Input Errors:.
/h4\n\n;
if (!$_POST['first_name']) {
$errors .= Missing first Name\n;
}
if (!$_POST['last_name']) {
$errors .= Missing Last Name\n;
}
I also came across the point that use of $_REQUEST has security issues, but
imagine that is if it is overused rather than used where it is the best
option.

[wdvltalk] Re: an input puzzle - html/php
Time to download a new .chm file I think Sorry Joseph New or old it is still mostly Greek to me :-o. My copy is the up to date one and there certainly is a lot about changes. If I understand rightly the objective is to make this do the job any other script can do, but in plainer English. And the changes are going to come thick and fast. I certainly do not think I would even have attempted anything more difficult. And I am trying to run (limp haltingly) before I can walk. I find your advice very helpful, and even if there is error the discussion of it brings clarity. As I am not at a class I find these discussions a refreshing aid to learning. And a proof that some at least of my fog may be forgiven.

- Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My question is about the e-mail - is there some way to get the person's order in the body of the e-mail so that they don't have to retype what they want?? If you mean - take what they picked from an online form and email it to the business, you could by huge ingenuity do it through Javascript and a mailto: link but it's far easier if you have CGI on the server. Most ISPs even if they don't let you write your own scripts offer a cgi script called formmail that lest you take information the client enters in a form and email that info to a selected address. But this is a bit clumsy and the best way to do it is scripting with Perl, ASP or php. If you mean - can the business take the email the customer sent and use it as data input then that's possible too, if the email is generated from the Web page by a script so it's in a standard format. So... how about some clarification of what you want to achieve, and what facilities and skills you have to work with? (Can you program in Perl. ASP or php, if not does the hosting company offer formmail?)

Actually, it hit me after I sent the e-mail that I can just add checkboxes and a form in the code so people can just check what they want and it will be e-mailed to them. (This is a cheap, quick website - I can do Perl but figure a quick form from Bravenet.com would do the trick.) Thank you for replying.

[wdvltalk] JavaScript Question
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to check if a field in a form has been left blank and, if it is, not have it appear on the e-mail (that I get from the form processor.) For example, my code is: td width=5% input type=checkbox name=Butternut Squash Soup value=Butternut Squash Soup size=2 / input name=Butternut Squash Soup quantity type=text size=2 maxlength=5 / /td td width=23%Butternut Squash/td I want people to be able to check the checkbox if they want the item and then put in the quantity in the quantity box. If they don't check the box, nothing for that item comes back on the form. When I get the form back, it has all the quantity items, even if they didn't enter a quantity. Am I making any sense?

Right away I noticed one of your css classes is incorrect:
.navTable {
color : #66;
font-weight : bold;
; font-size: x-small
}
You have a semi-colon in front of the font-size. It should be:
.navTable { color: #66;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: x-small; (this ; is optional on the last one)
}
I think that x-small and smaller font sizes are just too difficult
for many people to read. The text is small using 800x600, but at
1024x768 the text is too small to read comfortably.

quantity.
Am I making any sense?
do not put spaces in the form element names (name=Butternut_Squash_Soup)
is good.
in the form .. tag add something like onSubmit=validate_form() like
form name=f1 method=post action=your_url onSubmit= return
validate_f1(this);
/form
now somewhere in the head part put something like
script language=javascript
function validate_f1(f) {
if ( !f.Butternut_Squash_Soup.selected)
f.Butternut_Squash_Soup_Quantity.value='';
}
put other form elements that u want to check in this function.
(NOTE this is untested. check a javascript book to get correct syntax)

I thought the IE default size was smaller, not medium? Al At 3/23/2004 08:21 PM, you wrote: Have you looked to see what size the browser uses for its default? When I've been testing sometimes I forget to return the browser to medium and get quite a shock when I was testing something that turned out to have a fixed px/pt size and later open it to a site that uses relative sizing.

Medium is the default in IE and all other browsers. However the physical size of medium varies from browser to browser with Netscape/Mozilla usually being smaller than IE. Cheryl D.
