I have a form.

I also have a page called "functions.php" with this in it.

PHP Code: [ Select ]
$loginerrors = array (
 
'nouser' => 'Please fill in your username',
 
'nopass' => 'Please fill in your password'  ,
 
'noinput' => 'Please fill in the fields below',
 
'incorrectinput' => 'Your password or username is incorrect'
 
);
 
 
  1. $loginerrors = array (
  2.  
  3. 'nouser' => 'Please fill in your username',
  4.  
  5. 'nopass' => 'Please fill in your password'  ,
  6.  
  7. 'noinput' => 'Please fill in the fields below',
  8.  
  9. 'incorrectinput' => 'Your password or username is incorrect'
  10.  
  11. );
  12.  
  13.  


The form goes like this:



PHP Code: [ Select ]
             <form method=POST action=$PHP_SELF>
 
                <table width=75% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bgcolor=#D4D0C8>

  38.  
  39.                         <tr bordercolor= #000000  bgcolor= #D4D0C8 >
  40.  
  41.                           <td><font size= 2  face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Password</font></td>
  42.  
  43.                           <td> <input name='password' type='text' size='25'></td>
  44.  
  45.                         </tr>
  46.  
  47.                         <tr align='center' valign='middle' bordercolor='#000000' bgcolor='#D4D0C8'>
  48.  
  49.                           <td colspan='2'>&nbsp; </td>
  50.  
  51.                         </tr>
  52.  
  53.                         <tr align='center' valign='middle' bordercolor='#000000' bgcolor='#D4D0C8'>
  54.  
  55.                           <td colspan='2'><input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Login'></td>
  56.  
  57.                         </tr>
  58.  
  59.                       </table></form>
  60.  
  61.  



Of course the form will submit to itself. So above the form i have:

PHP Code: [ Select ]
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
 
 
 
$username = $_POST['username'];
 
$password = $_POST['password'];
 
include  "../req/connect.php";
 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gs_admin");
 
 
 
..... rest i got to type up
 
 
  1. if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  2.  
  3.  
  4.  
  5. $username = $_POST['username'];
  6.  
  7. $password = $_POST['password'];
  8.  
  9. include  "../req/connect.php";
  10.  
  11. $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM gs_admin");
  12.  
  13.  
  14.  
  15. ..... rest i got to type up
  16.  
  17.  


Anyway, In the form i want to have a type of function for example: $ERROR.

So when there is for example no username input, it could be something like:

PHP Code: [ Select ]
if ($_POST['username'] = 0) {
 
$ERROR = echo $loginerrors['nouser'] }
  1. if ($_POST['username'] = 0) {
  2.  
  3. $ERROR = echo $loginerrors['nouser'] }


So in the form, it will show:

Quote:
'Please fill in your username'


As there is no username inputted. I hope you understand what i mean.

Is this possible? Am i doing anything wrong? I am actually confused.

PHP Code: [ Select ]
if ($_POST['username'] = 0) {
 
$ERROR = echo $loginerrors['nouser'] }
  1. if ($_POST['username'] = 0) {
  2.  
  3. $ERROR = echo $loginerrors['nouser'] }


The concept works, but the code above won't.

First of all, use two equal signs when you are doing comparisons. Secondly, you probably don't want to be comparing it to zero. Checking to see if its equal to "" would work, but testing the length of the string would probably work better.

Code: [ Select ]
if (strlen($_POST['username']) <= 0) { 

The second line looks like you are trying to do two things, set the value of the variable $ERROR and echo the error message. You probably want to do one or the other like this:
Code: [ Select ]
$ERROR = $loginerrors['nouser'];
or:
Code: [ Select ]
echo $loginerrors['nouser'];
