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"

Thanks will try.

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

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.

Just do:

if(!$name) {

echo "

<script language='javascript'>

alert('Fill in your name');

</script>

";

}

Try

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

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

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
