ChidoriSoul Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I want to use the Register code, but I have some questions1. This is for more of the <div> tag, but how would I change that code to make it usable with the <div> tag2. If I use the <div> tag, will I need to make the DB? <?phprequire_once 'db.php';$page_mode = isset($_POST['page_mode']) ? $_POST['page_mode'] : '';$error_string = '';if ($page_mode == 'register'){ $email = trim($_POST['email']); // trim to remove whitespace $name = trim($_POST['name']); // trim to remove whitespace $password = $_POST['password']; $conf_password = $_POST['conf_password']; if (!isValidEmail($email)) $error_string .= 'Please enter a valid email address.<br>'; if ($name == '') $error_string .= 'Please enter your name.<br>'; if (strlen(trim($password)) < 6) $error_string .= 'You must enter a password of at least 6 characters.<br>'; if ($password != $conf_password) $error_string .= 'The password and confirmation password do not match.<br>'; if ($error_string == '') { $result = db_query("SELECT id FROM users WHERE email='" . mysql_real_escape_string($email) . "'"); if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) $error_string .= 'That email address is already registerd.<br>'; else { $email = mysql_real_escape_string($email); // protect against SQL attacks $name = mysql_real_escape_string($name); $password = sha1($password); // hash password db_query("INSERT INTO users (email, name, password) VALUES ('{$email}', '{$name}', '{$password}')"); header('Location: thankyou.php'); exit(); } }}function isValidEmail($email = ''){ return preg_match("/^[\d\w\/+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-][\d\w\/\.+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-]*@[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9.-]{1,61}[A-Z0-9]\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/ix",$email);}?><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html> <head> <title>Register</title> <style type="text/css"> .error_text { color: #FF0000; width: 400px; text-align: center; } .left_box { float: left; width: 150px; text-align: right; padding-right: 5px; } .right_box { clear: right; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="error_text"><?php echo $error_string; ?></div> <form action="register.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="page_mode" value="register"> <div class="left_box">Email address</div> <div class="right_box"><input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="255" value="<?php if (isset($email)) echo $email; ?>"></div> <div class="left_box">Name</div> <div class="right_box"><input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="255" value="<?php if (isset($name)) echo $name; ?>"></div> <div class="left_box">Password</div> <div class="right_box"><input type="password" name="password" size="30"></div> <div class="left_box">Confirm Password</div> <div class="right_box"><input type="password" name="conf_password" size="30"></div> <div class="left_box"> </div> <div class="right_box"><input type="submit" value="Register" size="30"></div> </form> </body></html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffman Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 They say you can use a <div> tag instead of PHP (well, thats what my friend said)That makes no sense at all. PHP is a programming environment. A <div> tag is part of a page-markup environment. PHP is executed on your server. HTML is rendered on your browser. In any case, a tag is just a little thing. It cannot replace an entire script or database.It's possible that your friend was trying to explain the difference between a traditional database, like mysql, and an XML document. XML is a data storage language that looks a lot like HTML, in the sense that data is stored between <tags>. But it's not as simple as using a <div> tag. Learning how to use XML would be as complicated as learning how to use mysql.There are no shortcuts to this process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
