First of all read the rules. Nothing is urgent. Secondly, what do you wish to validate? That surname is just characters, age is just digits, that all fields have more than 2 characters? Need more information.

Member Avatar for JorgeM

You can validate the form client side using javascript. What exactly are you trying to validate... Form filled, specific range of values, etc..????

Member Avatar for keishawndavid

i am tryin to validate the form field so if the input is not correct say numbers in the name field i would get an error message and if ever field is ok it will be successful and go to the processing page btw i am new to programming

Why have you started a new thread on this? This is surely an extension of your question:

http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/459031/need-help-urgently-need-to-validate-this-form-to-grade.php-idk-how

If you search for 'php form validation', 'form processing php' or anything like that, you'll get a lot of useeful hits. Also '$_POST php'.

but i dont know the codes

plz help urgent

These types of statements will most likely see you get little help. If you show a willingness to do some initial work yourself, you'll get a lot of help. Holding out your hand with a 'gimme codez' sign probably won't work.

You may want to start by validating the HTML. Just glancing over the code I see you don't have a doctype declaration, which is a requirement for all valid HTML pages; you are closing the <body> tag right after you open it, before you add the form; and you've got a duplicate ID ("gen"). Also, you don't specify a charset, and while that's not a requirement as such, it's not a great idea to leave that out.

He was told about many of these things on the other thread, but doesn't seem to have taken any notice. Oh well...

Member Avatar for Atli

O, right. I didn't read far enough down on that one. I suppose it can't hurt to repeat it. Although something tells me it's a wasted effort in this case.

I hope not, we're all still here ready to help.

Show us some code that you've tried to use so that we can advise you further.

this is what i came up with so far but still not validating

Member Avatar for Atli

Are you kidding us with the coding style? (Or lack there of!) How could you possibly expect anybody to be able to read the code while it's written (pasted?) like that?

Please research coding styles/coding conventions, and apply what you learn to your code. Code needs to be readable, or it may as well not be written at all. Programmers tend to spend a lot more time reading code than writing it, so making it easy to understand is extremely important. - You could start with the Wikipedia article on the subject and go from there.

If you want client-side validation (javascript), I can move this thread to that forum. If on the other hand you want server-side (php) validation, you need to show us the php code you have so far.

Good sites usually have both, client side to warn the user about mistakes before they submit and php for security (js can't be trusted).

SO what's the problem with this?

Member Avatar for Zagga

You haven't closed your </style> tag properly, you still have 2 </head> tags, 2 <html> tags and 3 <body> tags! As suggested before, you need to fix your HTML before you fix the PHP.
