How to Define a new Minimum value


Leighbee

Recommended Posts

Posted

I've searched and read the available topics, but still can't work this out.

 

I've added a new contact form - specific for requesting a particular type of information about an item.

 

The fields (all required) are: name, telephone number, email address, item details, and agree to conditions of use checkbox.

 

I currently have three problems (hopefully the last two are easy code fixes):

 


  •  
  • 1. I need to set a new minimum value for the item field: I've an idea this is something to do with the database, which I know how to access, but have no idea how to modify.
  • 2. the error messages come up with the blank form, i.e. before you've even had the chance to enter any information
  • 3. the email error comes up even when a valid email address is used - I hope this is just an easy code fix.
     

 

I've also entered this line into form_check.js.php

<?php if (ITEM == 'true') echo ' check_input("item", ' . ENTRY_ITEM_MIN_LENGTH . ', "' . ENTRY_ITEM_ERROR . '");' . "\n"; ?>

 

This is what the coding currently looks like for request_details.php (please forgive my duff attempts at php. It's not my thing):

 

<?php

 

require('includes/application_top.php');

 

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_REQUEST_DETAILS);

 

$error = false;

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'send')) {

$name = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']);

$email_address = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['email']);

$telephone = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone']);

$enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['item']);

$terms = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['terms']);

 

 

if (tep_validate_email($email_address)) {

tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_address);

 

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_REQUEST_DETAILS, 'action=success'));

} else {

$error = true;

 

$messageStack->add('request_details', ENTRY_EMAIL_ERROR);

}

}

 

if (strlen($name) < ENTRY_FIRST_NAME_MIN_LENGTH) {

$error = true;

 

$messageStack->add('request_details', ENTRY_NAME_ERROR);

}

 

if (strlen($telephone) < ENTRY_TELEPHONE_MIN_LENGTH) {

$error = true;

 

$messageStack->add('request_details', ENTRY_ITEM_ERROR);

}

 

if (strlen($item) < ENTRY_ITEM_MIN_LENGTH) {

$error = true;

 

$messageStack->add('request_details', ENTRY_ITEM_ERROR);

}

 

if (!isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['terms'])) {

$error = true;

$messageStack->add('request_details', ENTRY_TERMS_ERROR);

}

 

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_REQUEST_DETAILS));

Any help gratefully received!

cmd-z... the best keystroke invented

I've also entered this line into form_check.js.php

<?php if (ITEM == 'true') echo ' check_input("item", ' . ENTRY_ITEM_MIN_LENGTH . ', "' . ENTRY_ITEM_ERROR . '");' . "\n"; ?>

 

 

But did you include this file ???

 

i see

<?php require('includes/form_check.js.php'); ?>

above line is missing in your code.

Good point, but, without understanding how it all works, I could only observe that it didn't seem to be needed.

So why add the line in the form_check file? Ha! I know!

 

I'm right at the limit of my understanding - and beyond - so I've been trying everything!

 

The error codes have been working anyway -one for each of the fields I've got working so far (only they're currently all showing by default... as mentioned above)
