facebook - PHP $POST If statement -
okay, issue having have simple textarea should sent entered page, should 'thanks' when submitted, , should prompt entry if nothing entered, however, when enter nothing still says 'thanks'
im sure simple enough. here code index.php
<form method="post" action="translate.php"> <name="status" cols="50" rows="5"> what's on mind? </textarea><br> <input type="submit" value="translate status" />
and translate.php
<?php $status = $_post['status']; if($status == ""){ echo "please enter status."; } else { echo "thanks"; } ?>
i have tried using above code in index.php got error 'status' variable.
while asking, how go having popup error on main page rather redirecting translate.php
1.you forgot write textarea
.
<textarea name="status" cols="50" rows="5"> what's on mind? </textarea><br>
2.textarea have what's on mind?
default. should check..
if(($status == "") || ($status == "what's on mind?"))
3.try echo $status
