I am working on a site for class, and i have a form system.

  • 0

I am working on a site for class, and i have a form system. My friend is working on the design, and therefore the index site is actually just this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Nail n' Bolts man</title>
<link href="../../styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../js/main.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

    <div id="main">
        <center>
            <div id="header">
                Nails & Bolts APS - Admin side
                <img src="../images/header.jpg" alt="header" width="" height="" />
            </div>

            <?php require('php/newEmployee.php'); ?>
        </center>
    </div>

</body>
</html>

Then in newEmployee.php i also require another file called varibleEcho.php Basically this file just has a function with a switch case statement, echoing different code depending on what you call from newEmployee.php

however for some reason, when i check the source of the site with google chrome, it seems that the echoing cleans everything of except the stuff i echo. This means my metadata css jquery and such dissapers.

Any ideas on why it has this behaviour?

Edit:

Here is the entire site (indes.php up there):

newEmployee.php

<?php
require('php/variableEcho.php');
    if(!isset($_POST['rank']) || !isset($_POST['fname']) || !isset($_POST['lname']) || !isset($_POST['initials']))
    {
        variableEcho(0);
        variableEcho(1);    
    }
    else if($_POST['rank'] == '' || $_POST['fname'] == '' || $_POST['lname'] == '' || $_POST['initials'] == '')
    {
        variableEcho(0);
        variableEcho(3);
        variableEcho(1);
    }
        else if($_POST['password'] != '')
    {
    echo $_POST['password'];
    $hasLetter = false;
    $hasNumber = false;
    $hasLength = false;

    $pwd = $_POST['password'];

    $strlen = strlen($pwd);
    $pwdarr = str_split($pwd);

    $ints = 0;
    $chars = 0;
    foreach($pwdarr as $x)
    {
        if(is_int($x))
        {
            $ints++;
        }
        if(ctype_alpha($x))
        {
            $chars++;
        }
    }
    if($ints >= $strlen || $chars >= $strlen)
    {
        variableEcho(0);
        variableEcho(4);
        variableEcho(1);
    }

    if($strlen >= 8)
    {
        variableEcho(0);
        variableEcho(4);
        variableEcho(1);
    }
}
?>

variableEcho

<?php
function variableEcho($echoSelect)
{
    switch($echoSelect)
    {
        case 0:
            echo('
                <form action="" method="post">
                    <table>
            ');
            break;

        case 1:
            echo('
                        <tr>

                            <td><input type="text" name="fname" id="fname"/></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>

            break;

    I figured out my issue, and it was sadly a simple one 😛

    require ‘newEmployee.php’;

    would include that php file. In that file i required another one, where the filepath were relative to newEmployee.php locaiton. I now instead include both variableEcho, and newEmployee from the main file.

    <?php
    require('../../php/variableEcho.php');
    require('../../php/newEmployee.php');               
?>
