I need to verify the inputs in a Page given and then, if any errors are present, then I should be displaying the same page with the error messages. If the inputs are correct, then I should be displaying the next page. How would I achieve this ??
enter code here
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
// define variables and set to empty values
$nameErr = $emailErr = $genderErr = $websiteErr = "";
$name = $email = $gender = $comment = $website = "";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
$valid= true;
if (empty($_POST["name"]))
{$nameErr = "Name is required";}
else
{$name = test_input($_POST["name"]); $valid=false;}
if (empty($_POST["email"]))
{$emailErr = "Email is required";}
else
{$email = test_input($_POST["email"]); $valid=false;}
if (empty($_POST["pwd"]))
{$pwdErr = "Password is required";}
else
{$pwd = test_input($_POST["pwd"]); $valid=false;}
if (empty($_POST["gender"]))
{$genderErr = "Gender is required";}
else
{$gender = test_input($_POST["gender"]); $valid=false;}
}
if($valid){
header('Location: dbregister.php');
exit();
}
function test_input($data)
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
}
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
Name : <input type="text" name="name">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $nameErr;?></span>
<br><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span>
<br><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="pwd">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $pwdErr;?></span>
<br><br>
Gender: <input type="radio" name="sex" value="Male"> <input type="radio" name="sex" value="Female">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $genderErr;?></span>
<br><br>
Click here to Submit: <input type="submit" value="register">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I was able to validate the inputs and display the error messages, but unable to send another page which says, registration is successful 'dbregister.php'
Also I am getting undefined error for $valid in if($valid){
header('Location: dbregister.php');
exit();}
