Form text field in repeated selection and server validation

1/17/2018 8:34 am | #1 tony

Hello all,
I have a form with one text field.
I applied the "WA repeat selection" and I duplicate this field X times. Nice.
But all repeated fields have the same ID, so I changed their IDs using the counter from the bindings. It works.
Now I need to server validate them.
How can I server validate these repeating text fields?
TIA

Client Validate is easier ;)

What type of validation do you want on them? Are they all required?

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

yes,
but there is money involved (it's a cashback). So, I prefer using server validation, just in case someone disable javascript on his browser...
Thanks

my 2c.
What if I creater static fields, then apply the Wa server validation and then add the WA repeat selection to the text fields and the WA validation?
Of course I will need to tweak the code a bit.
But I just need to know if there are better ways to do this.
It would be nice to create something similar to this (https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/AXVrV) and then apply the WA logic.

If you always only have six then you can just add them manually one at a time to the server validation.

Another option is to write a loop to do it, but then you wouldn't be able to re-enter the server validation server behavior.

If you attach a copy of the page you are working on I can give you code samples for each.

Thanks, Ray,
here is attached the step2.php page. Please keep in mind that in step1.php I set a session variable (numart_sess) that holds the number of copies I need to create about the fields Articolo and Barcode in step2. This is decided by the user in step 1 by using a dropdown menu (values range from 1 to 15 maximum).
So, basically, in step 2 I need to get maximum 15 Articolo fields and maximum 15 Barcode fields.
Then I need to validate all fields and save all fields values to session variables. In step3.php page I will display all collected data and save it to database (in a single record).
Thanks again, Ray.

I'd just add a for loop around both the display and validation and add the increment.

Something like:

php:

<?php 

if (isset($_POST["next2"]) || isset($_POST["next2_x"]))  {

  $WAFV_Redirect = "step2.php";

  $_SESSION['WAVT_step2_279_Errors'] = "";

  if ($WAFV_Redirect == "")  {

    $WAFV_Redirect = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];

  }

  $WAFV_Errors = "";

for ($x=1; $x<=intval($_SESSION['numart_sess']); $x++) {

  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["articolo_".$x  .""]))?$_POST["articolo".$x  .""]:"") . "",true,$x);

  $WAFV_Errors .= WAValidateRQ(((isset($_POST["barcode_".$x  .""]))?$_POST["barcode".$x  .""]:"") . "",true,"2".$x);

}

  if ($WAFV_Errors != "")  {

    PostResult($WAFV_Redirect,$WAFV_Errors,"step2_279");

  }

}

?>

and then the display like:

php:

<?php

for ($x=1; $x<=intval($_SESSION['numart_sess']); $x++) {

?>

        <div class="form-group">

                    <label for="articolo_<?php echo($x); ?>">Articolo <?php echo($x); ?></label>

                    <input name="articolo_<?php echo($x); ?>" type="text" class="form-control" id="articolo_<?php echo($x); ?>" placeholder="Articolo" value="<?php echo(WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_step2","articolo_".$x  ."")) ?>">

<?php

if (ValidatedField('step2_279','step2_279'))  {

  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "1" == ""))  {

    if (!(false))  {

?>

                            <div class="errore_validazione">errore articolo </div>

                            <?php //WAFV_Conditional step2.php step2_279(1:)

    }

  }

}?>

        </div>

        

        

        <div class="form-group">

                    <label for="barcode_<?php echo($x); ?>">barcode <?php echo($x); ?></label>

                    <input name="barcode_<?php echo($x); ?>" type="text" class="form-control" id="barcode_<?php echo($x); ?>" placeholder="barcode" value="<?php echo(WA_getSavedFormValue("persist_step2","barcode_".$x  .")) ?>">

                    

                        

                        

                            <?php

if (ValidatedField('step2_279','step2_279'))  {

  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "2".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "2" == ""))  {

    if (!(false))  {

?>

                                <div class="errore_validazione">errore barcode </div>

                                <?php //WAFV_Conditional step2.php step2_279(2:)

    }

  }

}?>

        </div>

<?php

}

?>

Just as information (see below):

Originally Said By: Ray Borduin

php:

[snip]

  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "1" == ""))  {



[snip]

  if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "2".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "2" == ""))  {

[snip]

But what are those numbers "...) !== false || "1" == "")) {..." and "...) !== false || "2" == "")) {..."?
Have I to change them to:

php:

if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "".$x."" == ""))  {

if ((strpos((",".ValidatedField("step2_279","step2_279").","), "," . "2".$x  ."" . ",") !== false || "2".$x."" == ""))  {

Thanks
Tony
