HI all,

I have a small problem regarding my php project.

There is a page called open_account.php. It contains all customer data such as NIC, full_name, date of birth, gender etc. When a user fills all the fields in that form it redirects to another page called new_account.php.

There are various account types in the bank. (Ex: A,B,C) I want to do something like this. When a user selects account B it has to show an error message saying " A male person cannot open a B account". Because it only allows women to open B account.

At the same time when a particular user selects an account say A, a message should be appeared as "Account number 1 has been successfully created"

I want your suggestions regarding how can i do these thing? I have attached all the php files

Database structure

customer(account_number,nic, full_name, name_with_initials, phone_number, address, gender, date_of_birth)

open_account.php

Well, before you execute your query (account.php line 14), you'll have to do some validation. If gender == male && type == B echo error, something like that.

I have changed my coding. Now there are 2 pages relating to that. But still it does not working. When clicks on the submit button, the same page reloads and do nothing. The data values do not go into the database. The validations also not working. Can anyone help me out......:-(

Here is my codings.

Before I wade in, is this a school project?

If not, do you really want to be storing people's data like NIC (I assume this is some sort of national insurance number)?

Just asking

It is a project relating to bank. The account numbers are saved in the database. The NIC (National Identity Card ) number is the unique way of identifying their customers.

OK, just be sure that your data is kept extremely secure. There may be BIG implications to storing this sort of data. Depends what it is and local legislation.

Thanks ardarv for your advise...Now the form is working well. I had missed some quotations in the form.
