What you are trying to do is properly called client-side validation.
The easiest way to do this would be to use a third-party library, such as FormValidation.
For example, to validate your email field, you could do something like:
<form method="post" id="register_user" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
...
<input type="text" name="email" data-fv-emailaddress="true" data-fv-emailaddress-message="The value is not a valid email address" />
...
</form>
<script>
$('#register_user').submit(function() {
$('#register_user').formValidation();
});
</script>
Of course, you'll need to make sure to include the necessary CSS and JS libraries for jQuery, FormValidation, and a suitable content framework (such as Bootstrap).
For the record, if you're just looking for a basic user management script, I would strongly suggest that you avoid reinventing the wheel. Take an existing script, for example UserFrosting, and modify it to suit your needs.

I am building a multi-page form and it has a lot of conditional statements. Some of which deal with the display of particular DIVs based upon the selection of some other DIVs. To make my question simple I have created another form that works similarly, but is very short.
The first input field asks the "First Name." After it is filled with characters, two fields for "Middle Name," and "Last Name" appear. Originally, these two fields have "inline-style" of "display:none;" and hence are not displayed until the jQuery function displays them. Once the user fills out the form and hits submit, PHP validations run on the server.
For our purpose, let's fill the first input field then followed by two new fields displayed by jQUery, leave other fields blank and hit "submit." Of course, the PHP validations fail and we are shown the refreshed version of the form with all the form data gone and most importantly for my usage, the CSS display state for the two input fields gone. Now, I know I could add php to keep the values on the input fields, but that still does not solve my problem of keeping the CSS display state of the "display:none;" DIVs.
I need help with restoring the form data on the first field followed by the display of the other two fields with their data. I sort of know how the localStorage works, but I could not make it work here.
I very much appreciate anyone giving this their time.
Once again, thank you very much.
Here goes the code:

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { /**checks if the submit button is pressed or not. only executes below steps if the form is submitted.**/
//check first name input
if(empty($_POST['firstName'])){
$errors ['firstName'] = 'Please enter your First Name <br />';
} else {

I know I could add php to keep the values on the input fields, but that still does not solve my problem of keeping the CSS display state of the "display:none;" DIVs.
I would recommend using PHP to fill in the form values after submission and solve showing/hiding elements with JavaScript.
For example PHP would look like this: (using htmlspecialchars to escape quotes and other special characters and reading data directly from POST request)
<input
id="fName"
type="text"
name="firstName"
value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['firstName']); ?>"
>
There is also possibility to keep values in localStorage if you prefer. I was able to find this jQuery plugin which does that - Persist.js.
Second task is to show/hide corresponding fields.
First of all, try to think about user experience when new fields appear or disappear. Maybe it's better to keep all the fields on the screen, disable/enable them etc. I can think of one case when fields can be hidden and it is when several options are presented for selection and the last option is 'other (please specify)' which allows to input custom response. I'll be adding this use case to the prototype bellow.
I'd recommend to create a single updateVisibility function that will show/hide needed blocks. It should be called when page loads (with data filled in with PHP) and when any form field is modified:
function updateVisibility() {
// fname - show/hide mName/lName
if ($("#fName").val() !== "") { // always use === or !== in JS for comparison
$("#mName1").css("display", "block");
$("#lName1").css("display", "block");
} else {
// hide inputs and clear values
$("#mName1").val('').css("display", "none");
$("#lName1").val('').css("display", "none");
}
}
$(document).ready(function () {
// call when page is loaded
updateVisibility()
// and every time any field changes in the form
$("#form").change(updateVisibility)
});
P.S. I've noticed and fixed several errors in HTML:
tag attributes should not contain spaces - id="fName" (not id = "fName")
label tag requires for attribute - <label for="fName"> (where fName is an ID of some other element to which label will point)
Please find prototype code bellow (only HTML part, StackOverflow does not run PHP). Programming language field is an example of how I think user experience should be, I've kept Middle name/Last name fields functionality like in your question.

My task is to make a div visible after submitting a form. The problem is: after submitting the form, the div appears for 0.5 sec, then it disappears again.
This is the relevant code part. I want to show the div with id="data".
<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="show_div()">
<div class="request">
<center>
<img id="logo" src="/img/n1_red.png" alt="">
<h1 id="t_request" class="item">Account Name</h1>
<br/>
<input type="text" id="request" name="Request" value="<?php echo $cloud; ?>" class="item"><br/>
<input type="submit" class="bttn" class="item" onclick="show_div()" value="Send" /><br/>
</center>
</div>
<div id="data" style="display:none">
<h2 id="t_mail">Mail</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $Email; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_password">Password</h2>
<input type="checkbox" id="pass_visibility" onclick="unhide_password()" value="Unhide pass"/>
<label for="pass_visibility" id="pass_visibility_label">(Unhide pass)</label>
<p class="pass_result" id="text_hidden_pass">Password is hidden.</p>
<p class="result" id="text_pass" style="display:none"><?php echo $Password; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_total_gb">Total GB</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $Total_GB; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_gb_used">Used GB</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $GB_Used; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_about">About</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $About; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_key">KEY</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $Decryption; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_authy">Authy</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $Authy; ?></p>
<h2 id="t_nr_acc">Acc name</h2>
<p class="result"><?php echo $Name; ?></p>
</div>
</form>
and this is the JavaScript code:
var div = document.getElementById("data");
function show_div() {
div.style.display = "block";
}
I tried to do this in 2 different methods:
First one was to add onclick="show_div() to the submit button.
<input type="submit" class="bttn" class="item" onclick="show_div()" value="Send" /><br/>
Then I added onsubmit="show_div()" to the submit form.
<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="show_div()">
As I said, with this method (after submitting the form/clicking the button) the result is not as expected. The div appears for 0.5 sec, then it disappears again.
Not sure if you need, but here is the CSS for id="data":
#data {
border-top: dashed 3px rebeccapurple;
border-left: dashed 3px rebeccapurple;
padding-left: 20px;
display: block;
}
And here the PHP code:
$cloud = "";
$Email = "";
$Password = "";
$Name = "";
$Total_GB = "";
$GB_Used = "";
$About = "";
$Decryption = "";
$Authy = "";
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$db = "xxx";
$con = mysql_connect($servername,$username,$password);
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("xxx", $con);
$cloud = $_POST["Request"];
// Query
$query = "SELECT * FROM Clouds WHERE Name = '$cloud' LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
if ($result >= 1) {
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$Email = $row['Email'];
$Password = $row['Password'];
$Name = $row['Name'];
$Total_GB = $row['Total_GB'];
$GB_Used = $row['GB_Used'];
$About = $row['About'];
$Decryption = $row['Decryption'];
$Authy = $row['Authy'];
}
} else {
//$error_not_found = "Account not found!";
}
}
I am missing something? Any advice for me? Thanks
Another Stack Overflow question:
I checked everything. I followed her tips too. No result. Well... The same result
This is a snippet you may use. It is not possible to show a div and send the form together, see the comment of esque above.
<form id="form1" action="..." method="post">
<!-- here your form fileds -->
</form>
// true = show div --- false = send form
var showDiv = true;
// form id selector
var myForm = document.querySelector("#form1");
// bind submit event to form
myForm.addEventListener("submit", function(event) {
if (showDiv == false) {
console.log('send form');
return;
}
event.preventDefault();
console.log('Show div, form not send');
var div = document.getElementById("data");
div.style.display = "block";
});
I have a self posting document that has form fields to fill out with php processing on the same document. My problem is that upon opening the page (website), the message "Message Sent!" shows up immediately before the form can be filled out with information. The php mail() function is linked to my email account so I get the form data email. But no data is sent because the email was sent before the form could be filled out. I want to be able to fill out the form before the email is sent off so that way the form sends actual information. Ive researced this topic and came up with nothing. Any help would be awesome! Here's my code...
<?php
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) //This will loop through each name-value in the $_POST array
{
$tableBody .= "<tr>"; //formats beginning of the row
$tableBody .= "<td>$key</td>"; //dsiplay the name of the name-value pair from the form
$tableBody .= "<td>$value</td>"; //dispaly the value of the name-value pair from the form
$tableBody .= "</tr>"; //End this row
}
echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr><th>Field Name</th><th>Value of field</th></tr>";
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{
echo '<tr class=colorRow>';
echo '<td>',$key,'</td>';
echo '<td>',$value,'</td>';
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo "<p> </p>";

Some line of code have been commented out for the sake of experimenting. Thank you in for the help.
That's because of this:
<?php
$toEmail = "robinjennings#nephilim42.com"; //CHANGE within the quotes. Place email address where you wish to send the form data.
//Use your DMACC email address for testing.
//Example: $toEmail = "jhgullion#dmacc.edu";
$subject = "WDV341 Email Example"; //CHANGE within the quotes. Place your own message. For the assignment use "WDV101 Email Example"
$fromEmail = "robinjennings#nephilim42.com"; //CHANGE within the quotes. Use your DMACC email address for testing OR
//use your domain email address if you have Heartland-Webhosting as your provider.
//Example: $fromEmail = "contact#jhgullion.org";
// DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES //
$emailBody = "Form Data\n\n "; //stores the content of the email
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) //Reads through all the name-value pairs. $key: field name $value: value from the form
{
$emailBody.= $key."=".$value."\n"; //Adds the name value pairs to the body of the email, each one on their own line
}
$headers = "From: $fromEmail" . "\r\n"; //Creates the From header with the appropriate address
if (mail($toEmail,$subject,$emailBody,$headers)) //puts pieces together and sends the email to your hosting account's smtp (email) server
{
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
else
{
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
?>
You have to check if your form is submitted then the above code executes. So put the above code in:
if( isset($_REQUEST['form_element_index']) )
{
// Above code here
// Now the code executes when form is submitted
}
Its happening because you have't created a form and asked user to give input.What you have to do is create a form and then retreive the form values and upon submitting the form send the mail.It would definitely work....
Switching over from C# to PHP for a bit and not seeing what I am doing wrong here.
What I am wanting to to is when I click the submit button - I want the email sent (like it is doing) but then I want the input text fields to clear out the old text the user had previously input.
The one way I had it figured out would clear my test before it was actually submitted, which didn't help me very much.
Any input on how to do this?

The following contact form is not validating when submitting from an iphone...
It can be previewed here: loaistudio.com/contact
When I tried to submit the form without felling the fields, it opened a new blank page showing number 1 only on the top left side "which is not suppose to do at all" and actually sent the form empty... It does not do that on desktop.
I played around with the code trying to find the issue but no idea where is the problem! please help.

you are adding jquery at the end of the html but you are using jquery before that, so javascript breaks with Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined.
try moving this line to header:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#contactForm").submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$submit = $(this).find('button[id="submit"]');
var posting = $.post($(this).attr('action'), $('#contactForm').serialize());
posting.done(function(data) {
$('span.error').remove();
if (data == "1") {
$submit.text('Sent. Thank You!');
$submit.addClass("sent");
$submit.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
} else {
$submit.after('<span style="display: inline-block; padding: 15px 5px; color: #bd3d3d">Failed to send the message, please try again later.</span>');
$submit.text('Try Again');
}
});
});
</script>
This is code You have added AND THEN INCLUDED JQUERY, :) SO USE JQUERY IN HEADER !
