validation values

Hey Ray

On the attached update page, the update is working fine but retaining a value in an empty field on fail validation is just leaving the field empty and cant see where its going wrong.

Your advice as always gratefully received.

Cheers

I don't fully understand the description of your problem. Which field has the problem? What exactly is the issue? Steps to reproduce and a more detailed description of the problem will help.

Ok. If an input, say Telephone, is empty in the db and then a user adds a value to the input field and hits submit but the submission fails on a different input (e.g. Password), the Telephone input goes back to blank when it should retain the value added before submission

To fix that you would set the phone input field value to:
value="<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("customerupdate_096","UserPhone"):"".$row_WADAlogins["UserPhone"]."")); ?>"

That way if it fails validation it uses the ValidatedField value otherwise it gets the value from the recordset.

sorry, I have been using that structure (think I uploaded same named file, different project which didnt show the right code) for the input and thats why am getting confused. See attached. It doesnt retain an entered field on failed submissiona and cant figure out where its going wrong

Go through all of your text fields on that page. You will see that many of them do not use that syntax for setting the values.

i have no idea what is going on with the file...but the live file is definitely using the right syntax and have tried uploading it to this message as well...hopefully the right one is going up

You have to add the invalid url parameter to the validation fail redirect.

So On line 17 it should be something like:
$WAFV_Redirect = "member_update-2.php?invalid=1";

got it...thanks Ray
