David Powers --- Regarding form validation with dreamweaver behaviors

I am in the chapter teaching about form validation with the Zend Framework. I have done the entire lesson with the lesson files and everything works perfectly...
but I went back to use the form valdation techniques for my own site and it is not working properly. In the book, Chapter 6 teaches how to create a user login and editing the database through the site. But in chapter seven the form validation does not build on top of this and therefore does not teach how to integrate the form validation with the registered user already set up.
I have user registration completly working on my site and everything runs fine. I am trying to add the form validation but it is all completly ignored. When I leave a field blank it simply takes me to another blank page that reads "Column 'first_name' cannot be null"
here is index.php code...
<?php require_once('Connections/CSSU_Write.php'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/CSSU_Read.php'); ?>
<?php require_once('script/user_registration.php');

I replaced some code here to protect myself, but the library.php file is completely functional and has been tested... I am sure the problem ins't in here.
Please let me know if you need any further code to help you out. I am brand new to PHP and so far everything has ran smoothly up til now. I have my Zend Framework uploaded to my server and tested that my site is connecting to it properly. Any help on this would be so so awesome! This is for a school project and I can't move on until this is resolved! Thank you so much for trying!
You can also view the issue at my website... all the files have been uploaded to the server. www.CSSU.com

Need help regarding form validation

Hi all,
I have particular doubt regarding form validation. I have a form based on a table. ( One data block ) . I have a function in program unit which return boolean value based on some conditions. I will be calling this function in block validate trigger.
What i need is , if function return false i need to stop any insertion,updation action that's going to be done by forms.( point to control insertion and updation)
I don't want to use form triggure failure builtin. What should i do ? plz guide
regards

what are you going to do stop insert/update upon commit?
-- use on-insert trigger
if allowed_to_insert then
insert_record;
end if;
-- use on-update trigger
if allowed_to_update then
update_record;
end if;
if when entering data, you might want to check set_block_property

How do I do form validation in dreamweaver cc 2014?

I understand spry validation has gone away. And I read somewhere it was replaced by jquery - but I'm not seeing that anywhere in cc 2014.

I use HTML5 forms now which contain a fair amount of built-in form validation. However, my main validation comes from PHP code in my form processing script. I can't emphasize this enough, the only reliable way to validate forms is with server-side code. Client-side validation (Spry, jQuery, etc..) is not 100% reliable because it uses JavaScript which can be turned off in browsers.
Sometimes I need to support older browsers that don't honor the required attribute in HTML5 forms. Bring out jQuery Validate. It's lightweight, simple, and offers site users a nice visual clue when a required field is missing. See example below. View source in browser to see the code.
HTML5 Form with jQuery Validation
All that said, jQuery validate is strictly cosmetic. The real work is done with PHP.

Adobe form validation with Print button

Hi All,
I have an adobe form with field validation (javascript) already set up but I'm trying to add one more feature to the validation.
Let me explain my initial validation first: I have 18 required fields with their tooltip name having an '*' at the end. Any fields not filled in with this tooltip marker will show up on an alert message when the print button is selected.
There are two fields called IException and Amount that are required but an End User might have additional IExceptions and corresponding Amounts. Therefore I have created 5 textboxes for each but only the first IException and Amount are absolutely required (and I use a '*' within their tooltip). Now if an End User has an additional IExceptions ("IException2") and fills out this field, I need to make it mandatory that "Amount2" would also have to be filled in.
Here is my code: [code]
function validateFields()
var flg = 0
var n = this.numFields
var fArr = new Array();
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++)
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
var tt = f.userName
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue)
flg++;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
if(flg>0)
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
var IException2 = document.getElementById('IException2').value;
var Amount2 = document.getElementById('Amount2').value;
if ((IException2.length >0) && (Amount2.length == 0))
app.alert('Amount is missing')
else
document.ExceptionForm1.print();
validateFields();
[/code]
Currently when one of the require fields is NOT filled in, i receive my first alert message. If all required fields are filled in my print button doesn't work. Also if all required fields are filled in and IException2 is also filled in but Amount2 is not, I don't receive my second Alert message. So my code works up to the "Var IException2 = document....." and I don't know what the issue is.
Thank you for your help in advance.

One more question, since I have 4 of these...I'm having trouble getting the button to do exactly what its suppose to based on what's filled in because i think i have my '{ }' messed up and or IF/ELSE statement is wrong...can you please take a look..
function validateFields()
var flg = 0
var n = this.numFields
var fArr = new Array();
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++)
var fn = this.getNthFieldName(i);
var f = this.getField(fn);
var tt = f.userName
if(tt.indexOf('*')!=-1 && f.value == f.defaultValue)
flg++;
fArr[fArr.length] = tt;
if(flg>0)
app.alert('There are '+flg+' fields that require a value\n\n'+ fArr,3)
var a = this.getField('IException2').value;
var b= this.getField('Amount2').value;
if ((a.length >0) && (b.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 2 is filled in, Amount 2 is also required')
var c = this.getField('IException3').value;
var d= this.getField('Amount3').value;
if ((c.length >0) && (d.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 3 is filled in, Amount 3 is also required')
var e = this.getField('IException4').value;
var f= this.getField('Amount4').value;
if ((e.length >0) && (f.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 4 is filled in, Amount 4 is also required')
var g = this.getField('IException5').value;
var h= this.getField('Amount5').value;
if ((g.length >0) && (h.length == 0))
app.alert('Since IException 5 is filled in, Amount 5 is also required')
else
this.print();
validateFields();

Form help with Dreamweaver

Hi there
I have a form on a webpage that I have altered that works
fine when submitted ..however there are 2 fields that don't show up
in the received email ..The boy/girl radio button selection and the
Related Radio button group (6 selections)
Can anyone help me solve this problem ..the setup is below
..thanks Rob

Wouldn't "gender" be a more appropriate usage than "sex". I
doubt that this
distinction is what is causing the problem, though! 8)

Need help with a form created with Dreamweaver CS5...

How can I make a text field automatically jump to the next field when text is inputted? I've created a credit card payment form for a client and want to know how to make the cursor jump to the next available text field when the customer has input text. Hope this makes sense.

Have a look here http://www.mathachew.com/sandbox/jquery-autotab/

Need help adapting David Powers PHP email form script please!

Hi all,
I'm fairly inexperienced with PHP and I'm trying to adapt the David Powers email form script from THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO DREAMWEAVER CS4 WITH CSS, AJAX, AND PHP.
I've created a basic form so that visitors to the site can request a telephone call back from the site owner. The form asks the visitor for their name, telephone number and to select a time of day suitable for the telephone call to be made using radio buttons selecting between morning and afternoon.
I'd like to achieve my goal with minimal validation error messages and would like to redirect to another page when a message is sent successfully. It is also important that in the spirit of the David Powers script I'm trying to work with, that it filters out suspect input, avoids email header injection attacks and blocks submission by spam bots.
There may be a really simple solution to this since I don't want users to be able to enter an email address at all but I don't know enough to be able to figure it out just yet.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
See below for the code for the form including PHP so far...
Thanks to everyone looking in in advance
Karl.

Thank you for reminding me. There's a mistake in the book,
which I
discovered over the Christmas period, so forgot to send to
friends of ED
for the errata page.
Don't use $_SESSION[MM_Username]. Use $loginUsername instead.
It then works.

Lesson 7 Validating Input on the Server
I have reached page 445, and become completely stuck - I've been about three weeks trying to sort the problem but cant get anywhere. Not sure what to do from here so any advice would be really appreciated. The problem:
I have completed the script exactly as instructed, when I go live (local sever), I get a blank screen, OK, does not display. I am sure this is something simple but I have done all the fault finding and am out foxed. I know the local server works OK - I completed chapter 6 successfully - I can also run a php test page from the local folder that the file is stored in. i.e provictis/phpcs5. I have saved my ZendFraework in a separate location as advised. i.e. User/SPENNY/...
This is the basic code:
<?php
$library='/Users/SPENNY/ZendFramework/library';
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR .
$library);
require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');
$loader=Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

          echo 'ok';
} else {
          echo 'Huston we have a blinkin problem, but do not panic we will get things sorted';

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

However, I have been following the installation directions of

are there but the actual MySql data appears to not be installed
despite my computer telling me it is...... I am using a G3 running
OSX 10.4 is this good enough? I noticed talk of needing a PowerPC
or Intel mac. Is this the case?
Also, would I need MySql installed on my actual computer if
the my servers have it already? And does Dreamweaver 8 have both of
these programs installed as standard?
If you could help out I would be very appreciative as I would
like to learn this stuff and I appear to be struggling at the
outset....

MySQL is a relational database management system that
comprises a
database server and several utility programs. Although you
install it
like any other program on a Mac, the similarity stops there.
First, the point about PowerPC and Intel Macs is that there
are
different versions of the MySQL installer for each type of
processor.
I'm pretty sure that a G3 is OK, but you must choose the
PowerPC version
of MySQL, not the 64-bit or x86 (Intel Mac) version.
Once you have installed MySQL, you need to drag the
MySQL.PrefPane icon
from the disk image onto your System Preferences. This
installs a
Preference Pane that enables you to start and stop MySQL. The
Preference
Pane has an option to start up MySQL automatically, but in my
experience, it doesn't work on Tiger. You need to open the
Preference
Pane, and click Start MySQL Server each time you start your
computer.
The best way to work with MySQL is to use a graphical
interface, such as
phpMyAdmin. As Osgood has mentioned, I have written a book
about PHP and
Dreamweaver, which goes into all the necessary details. It's
also very
Mac-friendly with separate instructions where necessary for
PC and Mac.

FTAO - David Powers

David (php guru that you are
, this is directed to you as I have no
concept of this wee problem I have.
I signed up with a new unix host, so that I could set up a
link directory
script for testing purposes. According to the help doc, once
I typed in the
path to the install script, this "you bewt" script was
supposed to install
itself and away I'd go. I had the following from the host
after I asked why
I was getting an 'internal error' trying to run the scrip:
"the reason you are getting the internal server error is
because we do not
allow mod rewrites in the htaccess file. If you need to use
these we can
add them to your hosting container on the server. Please let
us know."
What does this mean exactly and would adding them for my use
cause problems
for my site or any other user on the server?

Thanks David,
I asked the new host (who were suprisingly quick to respond
to my initial
support ticket - considering the time differences) to add the
mod, which
they did within minutes of my request. Now however, I'm
getting a
"forbidden' error.
So off to email them again ;-)
PS: I even get a standard install of Wordpress with the host,
so will
definitely have to get to your book one day soon !

SunOne 7 FORM Validation & Initial page

Hi All.
I have an application running in a Sun One 7 Server. I use LDAP for validation and I have configured a FORM validation, with two html's for login and error.
All goes OK, when I'm trying to get the initial JSP of the application, the login form comes. But when I validate, my browser calls an image of the JSP instead of the JSP.
It seems like the JSP tryes to load this image and then the validation starts. But when I validate, Sun One don't remember that the JSP called the image and only load the image.
I'm blocked and I don't find nothing in the documentation. In the logs nothing appears to be bad.
Somebody could help me, please?
Thanks a lot.
Daniel.

Help with Dreamweaver Validate Form Behavior

Hello,
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver to validate form fields. This would work quite well except for in this case I'm using custom form code which is coming from Salesforce.com. The issue has been that the Salesforce.com web-to-lead form comes with "name" attributes on every form field item. If I change these names to make the validation look nicer, for example from first_name to First Name, then the web to lead form breaks. Is there another way to utilize Dreamweavers form validation by creating by own names for each form element instead of using "name"? The objective is to give the user something that looks good... like:
First Name is required
Last Name is required
And with the Salesforce custom name fields it ends up looking like:
900000xxxxx213s is required
or
last_name is required
Thanks for any help!

The name attribute of a form cannot contain spaces. That's why the validation behavior breaks.
The Dreamweaver Validate Form behavior is rather crude and well past its sell-by date. Use the Spry Validation widgets instead: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS267C8659-3AEF-4956-8268-E38CA4CAFAD3a .html.

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

Form Validation against database - Dreamweaver CS4 Spry

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to implement a form validation
of some fields, let's say a username. I have a form that inserts on
MySQL table, and when the user is typing the username, after it
looses the focus on field, validate it if there is a record on
table with the specified username. If so, validation will fail.
I already saw something similar with this on Dreamweaver MX
using some extension (because at that time, it did not support
ajax).
Kind regards, and thanks in advance.

I don't have a solution, but you may try posting in the Spry
Forums, you might get a better response.

I haven't gone through your script with a fine-tooth comb,
but your
email check uses a POSIX regular expression, which won't work
with
preg_match(). You could use eregi() instead, but there are
plans to
remove the ereg_ functions from PHP 6, so you would be better
advised to
stick with Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE).
