Server Validation if Recordset not empty

Server Validation if Recordset not empty

Working on order form for product_details.php that shows options for Embroidery ONLY for some Products.

I have successfully setup the Select Option to Show if Recordset not empty. So in the case of products that do not offer Embroidery the Select Options are hidden.

Next I added 2 validations, one to select from a list of colors and one to select Embroidery or Plain.

Problem is all Products pass thru the detail_products.php before being Added to Cart. So the page will not validate when there is no selection for Embroidery even though to the customer the option is not available. All they see is the Validation Show if error message and the item is not added to Shopping Cart

I have read various posts about using the
<?php if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) { // Show if recordset not empty ?>
and tried putting around WAFV code but result is an error message about an undefined variable.

Follows the php for Form Validation with the added <?php if ($totalRows.....
<?php
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_ATC_x"])) {
$WAFV_Redirect = "";
$_SESSION['WAVT_productdetail_366_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Color_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_Color_Add"]:"") . "",true,1);
if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]:"") . "",true,2);
}
if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"productdetail_366");
}
}
?>

And code for Form Select
<?php if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) { // Show if recordset not empty ?>
<select name="eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add">
<option value="">Select Embroidery Option</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rsEmbroidery['ProductOptionID']?>"><?php echo $row_rsEmbroidery['OptionName']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rsEmbroidery = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsEmbroidery));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsEmbroidery);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsEmbroidery, 0);
$row_rsEmbroidery = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsEmbroidery);
}
?></select>
<?php } // Show if recordset not empty ?></td>

And code for Validation Show if
<?php
if (ValidatedField('productdetail_366','productdetail_366')) {
if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("productdetail_366","productdetail_366").","), "," . "2" . ",") !== false || "2" == "")) {
if (!(false)) {
?>
<span style="color: #d73436">Please select an Embroidery Option</span> <br />
<?php //WAFV_Conditional product_detail.php productdetail_366(2:) <-- not a smiley face should be colon and closing bracket.
}
}
}?>

the problem is code order.

the code to perform the validation is at lines 14 - 30.

the code that creates the recordset is at lines 31 - 117.

those code blocks need to be switched around so that the recordset exists when the validation tries to use it.

Continuing the Product Detail page Validation process

I now need to validate the embroidery selection process before the Add to Cart is submitted

I have it working when the Add Embroidery option is selected from the dynamic select menu or embroidery is not offered for the product.

I am stumbling on when embroidery is offered and the No Embroidery option is selected.
Currently the validation process is being activated for those fields

I have the following for when embroidery is not even offered for a product

if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]:"") . "",true,2);
}

however this is not working for the embroidery selection process fields

if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_EmbroideryType_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_EmbroideryType_Add"]:"") . "",true,3);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_embroiderystyle_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_embroiderystyle_Add"]:"") . "",true,4);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["EmbroideryText"]))?$_POST["EmbroideryText"]:"") . "",true,5);
}

I understand it is not the correct 'if' statement.
What I need to be asking is 'if' the customer selects the second option on the dynamic select menu then continue with the validation process

something similar to
if(optionIndex == '2') {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ .....
}

but needs to be specific to the <select name="eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"> menu

I have attached the product_detail file

thanks

try changing:

php:
if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery >= 2) {



to:

php:
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]) && $_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"] == "2") {

Thanks, that worked for one group but not the other

There are actually three options for embroidery (select menus show relevant options by product)
-- plain (no embroidery)
-- embroidery with $15 surcharge
-- embroidery with price included in product price

The $15 surcharge OR price included is option #2 in their respective select lists (either way customer has to make embroidery selection). Plain (no embroidery) always being #1

For some reason the $15 surcharge menu item works with the validation
product_detail.php?ProductID=1

The price included does not, validation is ignored.
product_detail.php?ProductID=13

<?php
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_ATC_x"])) {
$WAFV_Redirect = "";
$_SESSION['WAVT_productdetail_366_Errors'] = "";
if ($WAFV_Redirect == "") {
$WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];
}
$WAFV_Errors = "";
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Color_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_Color_Add"]:"") . "",true,1);
if ($totalRows_rsEmbroidery > 0) {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]:"") . "",true,2);
}
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]) && $_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"] == "2") {
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_EmbroideryType_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_EmbroideryType_Add"]:"") . "",true,3);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["eCart1_1_embroiderystyle_Add"]))?$_POST["eCart1_1_embroiderystyle_Add"]:"") . "",true,4);
$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["EmbroideryText"]))?$_POST["EmbroideryText"]:"") . "",true,5);
}
if ($WAFV_Errors != "") {
PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"productdetail_366");
}
}
?>

Could it be related to the database table options.Options ID?
Plain is 1
+$15 is 2
Included is 12

I did try changing == "2" to >= "2" but that messed with the Plain #1 option, causing the embroidery selection validation to activate again

the value of the price included option is 87:
<option value="87">Embroidery (Included)</option>



so this code:

php:
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]) && $_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"] == "2") {




could be modified to:

php:
if (isset($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"]) && ($_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"] == "2" || $_POST["eCart1_1_Embroidery_Add"] == "87")) {
