server validation on radio group

Hi Ray

Which option would I choose to make an input field required based on the selection of a radio group with 2 radios which are set to 0 or 1. Am trying to set another field to fail validation if it is empty and the radio value is set to 1

I tried type 'Number' but that didnt work so not sure which would be best for this instance?

Cheers

What kind of validation? Server or jquery html5?

You would use required validation and the validated value would be something like:

php:
<?php echo(($_POST['RadioName']=="1")?$_POST['ConditionalFieldName']:"pass"); ?>

OK, not 100% sure where and what that needs to be.

The radio group name is ExternalBodywork and the input field to be validated is ExternalBodyworkNotes if ExternalBodywork = 1

So, I have tried this

<?php echo(($_POST['ExternalBodywork']=="1")?$_POST['ExternalBodyworkNotes']:"pass"); ?>


which just gives me an error

Notice: Undefined index: ExternalBodywork in /home/motle7bk/public_html/clients/hazel2/admin_cms/vehicleinspections_insert.php on line 268
pass



I have also tried adding it to the server validations like this

$WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset(($_POST['ExternalBodywork']=="1")?$_POST['ExternalBodyworkNotes']:"pass") . "",false,6);



which just creates a blank screen (with error reporting turned on)

What am I doing wrong?

Can I see a copy of the page? The error implies the radio button name isn't 'ExternalBodywork'

It seems like this would work:

php:
<?php echo(($_POST['ExternalBodywork']=="1")?$_POST['ExternalBodyworkNotes']:"pass"); ?>



maybe it is an issue in your radio button missing the space between the name and value attributes in the html?

That is supposed to be the value you are validating in server validations... not the value you display in the html. I think you are using the code in the wrong place. That was supposed to be entered in the Server Validation interface.
