Hi I’ve created a form where i want the user to select 5 tick boxes. if they choose less than or more than five, an error message is to appear saying you have choose less than five, or more than five depending on which.
however it will only display the error message to say you have selected less than five tickboxes, even if i have selected 5, or even if i have selected more than five. can anyone help me out here? It would be much appreciated.
I have used the following code:
<?php
function VerifyForm(&$values, &$errors)
{
if($arraySize < 5){
$errors['description'] = "you must choose 5 options. You have selected less than 5 options.";
}
if($arraySize > 5)
{
$errors['description'] = "you must choose 5 options. You have selected more than 5 options.";
}
return (count($errors) == 0);
}
function DisplayForm($values, $errors)
{
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Yadda yadda</title>
<style>
TD.error
{
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (count($errors) > 0)
echo "<p>There were some errors in your submitted form, please correct them and try again.</p>";
?>
<form action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="POST">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Select 5 of the following options which best describe you:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="error" colspan=2"><?= $errors['description'] ?></td>
<table><tr>
<?php
in();
if ($db_found)
{
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM description";
$result = mysql_query($SQL);
while ($db_field = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$description = $db_field['description'];
$des_id = $db_field['des_id'];
$mod = $des_id % 3;
if($mod == 0)
{
echo "<tr>";
}
echo "<td><input type='checkbox' name='description[]' value='$description'/></td>";
echo "<td>" . $description . "</td>";
if($mod == 2)
{
echo "</tr>";
}
}
mysql_close($db_handle);
}
else
{
print "Database NOT Found ";
mysql_close($db_handle);
}
?>
</table></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}
function ProcessForm($values)
{
$description = $_POST['description'];
$arraySize = count($description);
echo "<html><head><title>Thank you!</title></head><body>Thank you! 1 record added $arraySize this is the array size</body></html>";
}
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
$formValues = $_POST;
$formErrors = array();
if (!VerifyForm($formValues, $formErrors))
DisplayForm($formValues, $formErrors);
else
ProcessForm($formValues);
}
else
DisplayForm(null, null);
