From the validation rules in the previous section, we see that the "Name", "E-mail" and "Gender" fields are required. These fields cannot be empty and must be filled in the HTML form.

Field Validation Rule

Name Required. Must contain letters and spaces.

E-mail required. Must contain a valid email address (including @ and .).

Website Optional. If optional, a valid URL must be included.

Comment Optional. Multi-line input field (text box).

Gender required. One must be selected.

In the previous section, all input fields were optional.

In the code below we have added some new variables: $nameErr, $emailErr, $genderErr and $websiteErr. These error variables hold the error message for the requested field. We also added an if else statement to each $_POST variable. This statement checks whether the $_POST variable is empty (via the PHP empty() function). If empty, the error message is stored in a different error variable. If not empty, the user input data is sent through the test_input() function:

<?php
// 定义变量并设置为空值
$nameErr = $emailErr = $genderErr = $websiteErr = "";
$name = $email = $gender = $comment = $website = "";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
  if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
    $nameErr = "Name is required";
  } else {
    $name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
  }
  if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
    $emailErr = "Email is required";
  } else {
    $email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
  }
  if (empty($_POST["website"])) {
    $website = "";
  } else {
    $website = test_input($_POST["website"]);
  }
  if (empty($_POST["comment"])) {
    $comment = "";
  } else {
    $comment = test_input($_POST["comment"]);
  }
  if (empty($_POST["gender"])) {
    $genderErr = "Gender is required";
  } else {
    $gender = test_input($_POST["gender"]);
  }
}
?>

PHP - Show error message

In the HTML form, we added a little script after each requested field. Appropriate error messages are generated if required (if the user attempts to submit the form without filling in required fields):

Example

<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $nameErr;?></span>
<br><br>
E-mail:
<input type="text" name="email">
<span class="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span>
<br><br>
Website:
<input type="text" name="website">
<span class="error"><?php echo $websiteErr;?></span>
<br><br>
<label>Comment: <textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea>
<br><br>
Gender:
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="female">Female
<input type="radio" name="gender" value="male">Male
<span class="error">* <?php echo $genderErr;?></span>
<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> 
</form>
