i want a alert that alert when press submit button if the date user have inserted is expired as today is 19 may 2009 if a user puts 18 may 2009 it alerts that card expired.

here is the code:-

PHP CODE:

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","autodeskmaya") or die("error connect");
mysql_select_db("online_bus_project");

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
header("location: http://localhost/site/printticket.php");

$first_name = $_POST["fname"];

$card_number = $_POST["card_number_field1"] . $_POST["card_number_field2"] . $_POST["card_number_field3"] . $_POST["card_number_field4"];

$expiry_date = $_POST["card_exp_month"] . $_POST["card_exp_year"];

$query = "INSERT INTO payment (name, number, expire) VALUES('$first_name', '$card_number','$expiry_date')";
mysql_query($query, $connection) or die(mysql_error());

}
?>

HTML FORM:

<div class="style3" id="payment_box">

<form name="payment" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

<center>Make Payment<br />
</center>
<br /><br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Card Holder's Name:&nbsp; <input name="fname" type="text" id="fname" />
<br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Card Number:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<INPUT name="card_number_field1" type="text" id="card_number_field1" size="4" maxlength="4" />
&nbsp;<INPUT name="card_number_field2" type="text" id="card_number_field2" size="4" maxlength="4">
&nbsp;<INPUT name="card_number_field3" type="text" id="card_number_field3" size="4" maxlength="4">
&nbsp;<INPUT name="card_number_field4" type="text" id="card_number_field4" size="4" maxlength="4">
<br /><br />

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Card Expiry Date:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT name="card_exp_month" type="text" id="card_exp_month" size="2" maxlength="2"> 
/ 
<INPUT name="card_exp_year" type="text" id="card_exp_year" size="4" maxlength="4">
</center><br /><br />
<center><input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="MM_validateForm('fname','','R','card_number_field1','','RisNum','card_number_field2','','RisNum','card_number_field3','','RisNum','card_number_field4','','RisNum','card_exp_month','','RisNum','card_exp_year','','RisNum');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Submit" />

</form>

</div>

form is validate thats why it contains javascript.

these two fields are the expiration in which i want that alert

<INPUT name="card_exp_month" type="text" id="card_exp_month" size="2" maxlength="2">/<INPUT name="card_exp_year" type="text" id="card_exp_year" size="4" maxlength="4">

month and year is on numbers like [05]\[2009]

You're going to have a little thing that determines if the date is before the current date, probably using the > operator of Date, and you can just add a process() function as the event handler of the submit button. If you need more clarification, just let us know! :D

m-hrt,

Try this. It validates name, card number and date fields so it's a bit more than you asked for. From this you should be able to see how client-side form validation works. The main parts of the trick are to attach the validate() function as the form's onsubmit handler and to return true to allow submission, or false to suppress it.

As you will see, I have chosen to give colour coded feedback to the user rather than an alert, but I am sure you wil be able to work out where to insert an alert if you want one.

You will also see that a form is more neatly formatted with a table rather than using &nbsp; to pad it out.

But please don't simply trust my code. Check it thoroughly and modify if it doesn't do exactly what you want.

Sorry, forgot the old Date.getYear() dichotomy (IE & Safari vs the rest).

Change .getYear() to .getFullYear() in three places.

Date Comparison is really hard in javascript. So I wrote 2 very useful functions for the same. I think this is right time to post:

// Checks if 2 input dates are same
 function areSame(date1, date2) {
    var date1Date = date1.getDate();
    var date1Month = date1.getMonth();
    var date1Year = date1.getFullYear();
    
    var date2Date = date2.getDate();
    var date2Month = date2.getMonth();
    var date2Year = date2.getFullYear();
    
    var result = true;
    if((date1Date != date2Date) || (date1Month != date2Month) || (date1Year != date2Year)) {
	result = false;
    }
    
    return result;
}

// Compares 2 dates
// if date1 < date2, return 1
// if date1 > date2, return -1
// if date1 == date2, return 0
 function compare(date1, date2) {
    var date1Date = date1.getDate();
    var date1Month = date1.getMonth();
    var date1Year = date1.getFullYear();
    
    var date2Date = date2.getDate();
    var date2Month = date2.getMonth();
    var date2Year = date2.getFullYear();
   
    // Check for same date
    if(areSame(date1, date2))
	return 0;
    
    if(date1Year == date2Year) {
	if(date1Month == date2Month) {
	    if(date1Date == date2Date) {
		return 0;
	    } else {
		if(date1Date < date2Date) {
		    return 1;
		} else {
		    return -1;
		}
	    }
	} else {
	    if(date1Month < date2Month) {
		return 1;
	    } else {
		return -1;
	    }
	}
    } else {
	if(date1Year < date2Year) {
	    return 1;
	} else {
	    return -1
	}
    }
}

Lucky, I'm sure your code works but it can be much more compact by adding some simple methods to the Date object.

Date.prototype.setToMidday = function(){ this.setHours(12); this.setMinutes(0); this.setSeconds(0); this.setMilliseconds(0); return this; };
Date.prototype.isSameDateAs = function(d){ return d.setToMidday().getTime() == this.clone().setToMidday().getTime(); };
Date.prototype.compareDate = function(d){ return this.isSameDateAs(d) ? 0 : (this.clone().setToMidday().getTime() > d.setToMidday().getTime()) ? 1 : -1; };
Date.prototype.clone = function(){ return new Date(this.getTime()); };

Note: .clone() is used before .setToMidday() thus avoiding the modification of this when performing tests in .isSameDateAs() and .compareDate() .

Use as follows:

var d1 = new Date(2009, 04, 25, 01, 31, 15);//Yesterday
var d2 = new Date(2009, 04, 26, 01, 31, 15);//Today
var d3 = new Date(2009, 04, 27, 01, 31, 15);//Tomorrow
alert(d2.compareDate(d1));//Today is later than Yesterday; therefore 1
alert(d2.compareDate(d2));//Today is the same as Today; therefore 0
alert(d2.compareDate(d3));//Today is earlier than Tomorrow; therefore -1

Well Airshow,

I wrote these function on STB browsers, which do not support prototyping of predefined objects like Date.

But your effort is really appreciated.

Aha, thanks. I didn't know that. STB browsers are a big gap in my knowledge, so your info is also appreciated.
