setting up a form on index page...? - Greg - 10-15-2012 09:08 PM
i am working on a website where the user can register on the homapage, like facebook and twitter. Well i created the form on the INDEX.PHP and the actual php coding for the form on REGISTER.PHP. But i cannot seem to get the form to work, when ever i click submit it just takes me to the register.php page. here are some codes:
<form id="form4" form action='register.php' method='post'>
<h3>Register</h3>
<fieldset><legend>Contact form</legend>
<p class="first">
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="fullname" id="name" size="30" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" size="30" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="message">Retype Password</label>
<input type="password" name="retypepassword" id="password" size="30" />
</p>
<p class="submit"><button type="submit">Submit</button></p>
</fieldset>
</form>
and of course the register.php has all of that appropriate coding, but i guess i am missing something.
What php codes do i need and where in order to get this form to work properly?
alright i shouldve added the register.php, here it is
65||strlen($fullname) 65){
echo "Max limit of characters for name/email is 64";
}
else{
//password check
if (strlen($pass) 50||strlen($pass)
**once i hit submit on the form it just takes me to a black register.php page

The problem will be with the register.php, are you using header() to redirect back to the index?

So what do you expect to happen? It sounds like this form is working fine.
