Ver 205 - "did not enter a valid number"

[Anonymous]

First,
Thanks for pulling this app together!!

Tried both versions 205 and 204. Did the chmod -R 777 forms. etc.

Get 1st screen; enter (variously) 5 or 22 or 05 or "5" , etc...
Get 2nd screen stating:
"You did not enter a valid number. Please use a number between 1 and 99."

Tried entering via numeric keypad and on numbers at top of QWERTY...still no luck...

Looks like error being triggered at in fields.php:178

Any tips on debugging at this end???

Thanks,
Chuck

{Hit enter to quick}

The var $fields is capturing the input number, ie. 22

Thanks again...

you have to enter an integer value without leading zeros, or any other characters. 5 and 22 both should work. Try the demo site: http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/phpform .

Thanks for the quick response!!!

(Using Ver 205 - and wishing I could test faster...)

I agree, and I had entered for example a single number, just "5" or "22" (no quotes, spaces, etc.).
(Fun to describe clearly online sometimes isn't it - lol)

Further testing results:

in fields.php, (178) I had to take out the ^ (start with) in the ereg to get it to accept the numeric (only) input. Humm... didn't look like the removal of '^' should have been necessary.
Using RH8 php422 on test box...

Bottom Line: functioning with the tweak in the ereg ref'd above.

FWIW,
(and __Thanks!!__)

removing the ^ will defeat the purpose. Someone could enter "abc22" and that'll still work with the removal of ^

Valid point...
Testing in fields.php using number 2 as input:
if(!ereg("^([1-9]{1})([0-9]{0,1})$",$fields))
{
$errors++;
$error.="<li> You did not enter a valid number. Please use a number between 1 and 99. <BR>VALUE OF FIELDS is: $fields ";
}

yields:

     *  You did not enter a valid number. Please use a number between 1 and 99.
VALUE OF FIELDS is: 2fields=2

Humm.... off to check things out...

Thanks,
Chuck

Yea..

^([1-9]{1})([0-9]{0,1})$

^ means the string should start here
[1-9]{1} means the first character should be a digit between 1 and 9
[0-9]{0,1} means there be zero or one digit(s) between 0 and 9
$ end of string

so this guarantees a number between 1 and 99
