Problem w/server-side validation
#1
I want to make some fields required and validate the e-mail address. After implimenting the code as described in the documentation area, I am receiving an error "inside" the form field before I even submit anything.

Here is my form code:

PHP Code:
<?php
require_once("../formtools/global/api/api.php");
$fields ft_api_init_form_page(2);


// validation time!
$errors = array();
if (isset(
$_POST['submit_application']))
{
$rules = array();
$rules[] = "required,name,Please enter your name.";
$rules[] = "required,city,Please enter your city.";
$rules[] = "required,email,Please enter your email address.";
$rules[] = "valid_email,email,Please enter a valid email address.";
$rules[] = "required,address,Please enter your address.";
$errors validate_fields($_POST$rules);

 
// no errors - great! Now we process the page. The ft_api_process_form does
  // the job of both updating the database and redirecting to the next page
  
if (empty($errors))
  {
    
$params = array(
        
"submit_button" => "submit_application",
        
"next_page" => "thankyou.php",
        
"form_data" => $_POST,
        
"file_data" => $_FILES,
        
"finalize" => true
    
);
    
ft_api_process_form($params);
  }
  
// it failed validation. Update $fields with the latest contents of the form data
  
else 
  {
    
$fields array_merge($_SESSION["form_tools_form"], $_POST);
  }
}

            </tr> 


The error I'm getting when I goto this form to start filling it out is:
(this is the name field)
Code:
<br /><b>Notice</b>:  Undefined index:  name in <b>D:\Hosting\4885718\html\application\application.php</b> on line <b>80</b><br />

Line 80 in my form reads:
Code:
<td width="312"><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?=htmlspecialchars($fields["name"])?>"></td>


Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Aalsmo,

You'll see those notices when your error reporting is set quite high. This particular message just means that the $fields variable doesn't have a "name" key. No big deal! By default, Form Tools is configured to show ALL errors - even minor notices & warnings like this one.

There's two ways to fix it.
1. Suppress the error by adding a "@" symbol before the variable, like so:
Code:
<td width="312"><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?=htmlspecialchars(@$fields["name"])?>"></td>

(notice the @$fields["name"] bit).

2. Alternatively, you can add the following line to your global/config.php file:
PHP Code:
$g_default_error_reporting 1

That will prevent ALL minor errors like this one from showing up and only show genuine "error" errors.

All the best -

Ben
