is my 1st tutorial. Im not the greatest at explaining things. but have done my best. Source code for the 'php' parsing script and the 'activation' page is as follows.

register.php...

Code: Select all

<?php

	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$email1 = $_POST['email1'];

I hope all is ok for you and you can understand it... got any questions, this is the place to ask.

In a few i will be posting the addittions i done after the video.

Ok as for the additions. They are as follows...

1st was a check to make sure the password and the username length was more than 3 characters long. which on my form means your lenths need to be between 4 and 20 chars for a username and 4 and 16 for a password length.

the code is as follows...

Code: Select all

else if (strlen($username) <= 3){
		$errorMsg = 'ERROR: Username length to short. <br />';
	} else if (strlen($pass1) <= 3){
		$errorMsg = 'ERROR: Password length to short. <br />';
	}

this code can go any where really. depends where you want it to be checked. I placed mine before the check to see if both emails are the same.

E.G

Code: Select all

else if ($email1 != $email2) {
			  $errorMsg = 'ERROR: Email Fields Mis Matched.<br />';
	}

The second addition I made to my script was a check to make sure the email contained 2 specific characters. the period sign and the @ simbol. if the email didnt contain atleast one of each of these symbols then it would return an invalid email message.

Again this can be placed anywhere in the parsing script.

I placed mine above the character length check (addition 1)

Code: Select all

else if (
			!strpos($email1,"@")||
			!strpos($email1,".")
			){
		$errorMsg = 'ERROR: Invalid Email Address.<b />';
	}

Any questions ask away

[Noctrine]

[darspire]

im gettin a lot of errors. maybe just me?

register.php page is blank when i type in localhost/tutorial/register.php
activation.php page says error on line 3. like i said. maybe just me?

[Torniquet]

I have never tried it on a local host. what kind of errors are you getting??

the script in there is exactly what i used minus a few bits of info like domain name the include_once connection script.

I dont see why it wouldnt work :s

[darspire]

idk on the localhost/tutorial/register.php page theres nothing there

[Torniquet]

oh ok. yeah i had the same problem to start with.

make sure you have semi colons where you need them. it will most likley be that or your havnt got all the closing brackets in the right place.

[darspire]

i copied and pasted your code
