Need PHP Code

[Drugs]

I need a PHP code so if someone typed in nothing in a field, it makes a JavaScript popup saying 'Please enter a message' or something.

Try something like

if($message == "") { echo "You haven't entered a message"

[Drugs]

Thanks will try.

Edit: Thats not a complete code, the echo tag looks uncompleted.

[Fujitsu]

You could try a javascript. In your form code put


<form name="shoutbox" onsubmit="return validate()">

then in the HEAD tag of your page put


<SCRIPT>function validate() {
with (document.form1) {
var alertMessage = "The following field is empty:\n";
if (name.value == "") {
alertMessage += "\name" }
if (message.value == "") {
alertMessage += "\message" }
if (alertMessage != "The following field is empty:\n") {
alert(alertMessage);
return (false);
}
return (true)
}
}</SCRIPT>

Sorry for double post ;P

I used the following code;

if ($name == "") {
echo "Please enter a Name";
}

But when it comes up with "Please enter a name" it just redirects to the shoutbox and still submits the message.

[Sygon.]

Just do:




if(!$name) {

echo "

<script language='javascript'>

alert('Fill in your name');

</script>

";

}

[Fujitsu]

Try


<?php echo("Wouldn't Work, Code Removed"); ?>


But looking at Sygon's code, that should work.

[Drugs]

Sygon i used that but go to the site and type something in with no name..

When you press ok on the alert, it just goes back to the shoutbox and types it in anyway.

Fujitsu still typed it in anyway

@ Chris

So, does it really matter?

Correctable (Forum Moderator) - Please stay on topic

[Drugs]

No one looks at codes >.>

And anyone who wants to help me add me to MSN *REMOVED* ;D

Correctable (Forum Moderator) - Do not give out personal information!

[Fujitsu]

Maybe something in your code you already have is interfering with it and making it send the message anyway.

[ClubTime]

Yes, there is a section for coding :P

[Drugs]

This is what i have now..



<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$tag = ("<font size=\"1\" face=\"verdana\">
<b>$name</b>; $message
</font><br><br>");

$read = fopen("content.txt", "r");
$contents = fread($read, filesize('content.txt'));
fclose($read);

$write = fopen("content.txt", "w");
fwrite($write, "$tag $contents");
fclose($write);

print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;shoutbox.php\">";

if(!$name) {

echo "

<script language='javascript'>

alert('Fill in your name');

</script>

";

}

?>

[Drugs]

Ooooh i know brb.

Nvm.

Edited by ---MAD--- (forum moderator): Please do not pointless post, thanks :)

[Fujitsu]

Because it's refreshing before the Javascript is sent.

[Drugs]

Hmm so post the code which should work then pls.

[Fujitsu]

Try:



<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

$tag = ("<font size=\"1\" face=\"verdana\">
<b>$name</b>; $message
</font><br><br>");

$read = fopen("content.txt", "r");
$contents = fread($read, filesize('content.txt'));
fclose($read);

$write = fopen("content.txt", "w");
fwrite($write, "$tag $contents");
fclose($write);

if(!$name) {

echo "

<script language='javascript'>

alert('Fill in your name');

</script>

";
}

else {

print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;shoutbox.php\">";

}
}

?>

[ClubTime]

Try:






<?php

[Sygon.]

Make sure you use some sort of frame to display the input and output seperatly

[bob]

Make sure you use some sort of frame to display the input and output seperatly
Like an iframe?

[Drugs]

Fujitsu, still dont work, it just loads a blank page, but stil submits to the shoutbox

Edit: If someone could just type out the whole code and make it work i would be greatful..

Also why i am here, could anyone post a code to disable HTML in the form fields ;P

[bob]

Lolz, coz i pwnt it :p

[Fujitsu]

In your HEAD tag add



<script type="text/javascript">
function blank () {
var name = document.FORMNAME.FIELD NAME;
var message = document.FORMNAME.FIELD NAME;

if (name.value == "") {
window.alert("Please fill in your name.");
}

if (message.value == "") {
window.alert("Please fill in a message.");
}
}
</script>


And In Your <input> tag add



onclick="blank();"


The code I posted before wouldnt work, so I edited it.

[Drugs]

Fujitsu and in which file am i putting that in?

[ClubTime]

Lmao you really havent got a clue have you :)

[Drugs]

I presume in the shoutbox.php file but i am jsut making sure.

[bob]

Yeh, it is.

[Fujitsu]

[Drugs]

[ClubTime]

[Fujitsu]

In your <INPUT> Tag

[Muhammad Haris]

This code is really broken up for shoutbox, Please check your other thread where I have posted a comment. You should really check it out.

[Drugs]

[ClubTime]

Ryan scrap it and find another one.

[Fujitsu]

<INPUT TYPE="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit Your Shout" size="20">

G2G Help Tomorrow

[Muhammad Haris]

Drugs, I'm posting a fix which will have every feature you have request in this thread. Just wait for a few minutes! :)

[Drugs]

Chris if you can find another one that is simple like this then i will scrap it, and one that is fully customisable

Edit; OK thanks Muhammad

[ClubTime]

Ryan in addtag.php change:



print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;shoutbox.php\">";


to:


print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0:shoutbox.php\">";

[Drugs]

The system needs a database to store variable individually so you can impliment codes easily otherwise txt file based won't work at all as it is currently coded by the scripter.

[Drugs]

Its gotta somehow..

Edit: I have seen it on non-mysql based stuff before.
