Require user to type an specific word in form in order to get form submitted?

**Joseph Cobham** · Feb 11 '12, 10:44 PM

i dont realy understand your question can you expanciate on what you want...are you trying to search for the occurence of <html> in the submitted string?

**matheussousuke** · Feb 12 '12, 01:02 AM

It's like:

1 - User is typing, then he submits the form.
2 - On submission, user get a message saying: The content you typed is not a myspace/blogger template, please use a template.
3 - To know if he's using a template or not, the system will see if in the submitted text there was a <html> tag, but the user doesn't know about.

I think that's a little like that "Required field" function, but here there is no if (empty) function.

i hope this should help you

if not let me know

Code:

<?php

$word_a = "<html>";
$word_b = "</html>";
$main = $_POST['variable_name'];

#the main varible will be submitted by your form. Change the variable_name for the real name of your variable on the form

$errors = array();
#this will hold any error messages if found

if (strpos($main, $word_a) === false) 
{
$errors[] = "Our Systems Detected that this is not a valid blogger/myspace template - Missing <html> tag";
}

if (strpos($main, $word_a) !== false)
{
echo "Your success messages or you could leave it blank";
}

if (strpos($main, $word_b) === false)
{
$errors[] = "Our Systems Detected that this is not a valid blogger/myspace template - Missing </html> tag";
}

if (strpos($main, $word_b) !== false)
{
echo "Your success messages or you could leave it blank";
}
 ?>

i hope this helps...let me know if not

Woa, that's awesome, I have to finish a few coding here, after it, I'll use ur script and let u know. Thx a lot :D

**matheussousuke** · Feb 12 '12, 03:16 AM

Bebore using it, have to insert a scroll bar, but is it possible to do that as php?

**Joseph Cobham** · Feb 12 '12, 03:23 AM

to insert a scroll bar using php?...if yes i don't think that's necessary insert your scroll bar using html and css. is the code working fine?

**matheussousuke** · Feb 12 '12, 03:34 AM

I still haven't tested it. I'm having an issue with the submitted content, it has to be inside a scroll bar after submitted, because it takes too much space.

**Joseph Cobham** · Feb 12 '12, 03:39 AM

may be this may work for you

the html

Code:

<div class=sub_content"><?php echo $submitted_content; ?></div

the css

Code:

.sub_content
{
overflow: scroll;
max-width: specify the width you want here eg 500px;
max-height: specify the height you want here eg 350px;
}

that should fix it for you.

I still haven't used your script because I haven't fixed the form issue, thought it was just the scroll bar, inserted it, but there is another bug now, can I pm you?

**matheussousuke** · Feb 23 '12, 03:59 PM

**Joseph Cobham** · Feb 23 '12, 10:24 PM
