Validation not working...

Have been looking at this for a while and not sure where I'm going wrong.

I have a checkout and confirm page using eCart.

I've set up server side validation on the confirm page, and added Validation Show Ifs... back on the checkout page to display the errors.

What seems to be happening is that some sort of validation is occurring, as it always redirects back to the checkout page, even when the fields are filled in.

And no validation error messages are being displayed.

You can see what I mean here:

checkout_test.php

I've also attached the checkout and confirm pages.

Thanks for any help with this.

on the confirm page, you have set the validation to validate the Session Variables.

you need to set the validation to validate the form elements.

In the Server Validation server behavior, click the lightning bolt next to Server Variable, expand the form collection (not the session collection) on the bindings panel, and select the form element.

Thanks Jason - I did look for an alternative reference to the form variables, but am only seeing them under that session collection.

Have attached a few screenshots showing the options available when I click the lighting bolt in the Server Validation wizard.

I also found sone pages from an old site that works, and at least spotted the difference in the code. I copied it in, and it half works in the page below.

The validation seems to work, in that the fields need to be filled, and it takes you to the confirm page, but no error messages are appearing on the checkout page.

Very possibly because its never good to copy and paste code like that, without doing it properly!

But for the reference here's the link, and attached the files.

checkout_new.php

Think I forgot the screenshots mentioned above..

This is them now...

see this thread for details on setting up validation for the checkout page:

Thanks Jason - although I'm still missing something...

Followed that with the bindings > form data > checkout.php but wasn't sure what it did.

Although it did appear in the bindings list OK.

What I'm not sure of is how to set the values of the fields in the form to the Validated Field value. I tried dragging the field across from the bindings panel, but that looked like:

<?php echo((isset($_POST["firstname"]))?$_POST["firstname"]:"") ?>

When I think it should look like:

<?php echo(ValidatedField("confirm","firstname")) ?>

Have attached a couple of screen grabs, and the page file.

I have created a support ticket so we can look into this issue further.
