Convert DA Form to CSS Form

Can someone please explain...

If the contents of this form are to be inserted into a database, any
new fields that you have added will need to have the Insert behavior
attached to those new fields.

Is it just a case of entering into the Insert or Upload behaviour and then changing some code in there?

Double click the Insert Record server behavior. On the second page, you can bind columns to the form elements.

Select a column, then click the lightning bolt.

Expand the Form collection and select the corresponding form element.

I have done this but after uploading the page, it will not load, just a blank page with no content and no error message is shown.

Also, all of the server side show regions have a red exclamation mark. When I open them in the server behaviour, there is no option to select....

OK, the white page now has an error message - I had to add an additional php.ini file to turn on error reporting after I upgraded to php5

I also re-ran the CSS Form Wizard and now all of the red '!' are gone

But now I am getting a PHP Error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/sites/...... /Qualified_Team_Insert.php on line 497

Here is lines 495 - 498

php:

<select class="formMenufield_Large" name="handler_name" id="handler_name" tabindex="1" onBlur="hideServerError('handler_name_ServerError');">

<option value=""<?php if (!(strcmp("",(isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("qualifiedteaminsert","handler_name"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Please Select a Handler</option>

<option value="<?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['id']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp("<?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['id']?>", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("qualifiedteaminsert","handler_name"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['handler_f_name']?></option>

</select>

I am a little confused as this is all created by WA CSSFB

Anyone?

According to Eclipse there is an unexpected ')', but I cant find it as they all seem to match.

In NetBeans it suggests that there should be a ${ somewhere but have no idea where.

OK, I have managed to get the page to load now, by changing;

php:

<option value="<?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['id']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp("<?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['id']?>", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("qualifiedteaminsert","handler_name"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['handler_f_name']?></option>

php:

<option value="<?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['id']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp($row_WADADynListhandler['id'], (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("qualifiedteaminsert","handler_name"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_WADADynListhandler['handler_f_name']?></option>

I haven't tested the page yet, but was wondering why WA CSS Form Builder was creating the original code....?

I have tried recreating the problem and am not able to. To be honest, I cant say why the code was generated that way. can you try recreating the issue on a new form? If you can recreate the issue again, I will crate a ticket so we can investigate the problem.

I will have a go this evening and will get back to you.

I am getting the following error on a new form.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/sites/lsdogs.org.uk/public_html/Members/Handler_Insert2.php on line 275

The code is;

php:

<select class="formMenufield_Medium" name="unit" id="unit" tabindex="4" onBlur="hideServerError('unit_ServerError');">
                  <option value="" <?php if (!(strcmp("", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("HandlerInsert","unit"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Please Select a Unit</option>
                  <option value="<?php echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_id']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp("<?php echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_id']?>", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("HandlerInsert","unit"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_name']?></option>
                </select>

I tried my fix which didn't help, I just got unexpected "," error messages.

Any ideas?

It just seems to be code created by CSS Form Builder when converting a DA form where a dropdown is used.

12/07/2009 3:17 pm | #10 Jason ByrnesWebAssist

I believe the code should be:

php:

<select class="formMenufield_Medium" name="unit" id="unit" tabindex="4" onBlur="hideServerError('unit_ServerError');">

                  <option value="" <?php if (!(strcmp("", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("HandlerInsert","unit"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>>Please Select a Unit</option>

                  <option value="<?php echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_id']?>" <?php if (!(strcmp("". echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_id']."", (isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("HandlerInsert","unit"):"")))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_WADADynListunits['unit_name']?></option>

                </select>
