project ‘A’: Registration Form


TASK#1:

• In this project we will practice submitting form data to a web site, and returning a response to the user.


• We will also, verify that the user has entered data into the user name field on the form.


® First, you need a Form.


Create the HTML form seen below:

NOTE: Use PHP to retrieve and display the current date on the page.




echo "Date: " . date('F dS, Y'); ?>




Remember to save this page with a .php extension!


Save your HTML form page as registerForm.php, upload it to the server and test it in your browser.



TASK#1:

• Next, you need to create the reply.php script which simply captures the values submitted via the form and:


• First, checks to see if the user name field is empty.


o If the user left this field blank, print the following message:


“You did not enter a user name.”


“Please return to the form and re-enter your information.”


o Otherwise, print the message:


“Thank you {print form value of username here!}.”


“You live in lovely region of: {print form value of region here!}.”


Output (Sample screen capture) IF FORM NOT EMPTY

Note: “Using the empty() function”



if (empty($variable))

{

print “message here”;

}

else

{

print “ ”;

}

?>



Save your SCRIPT as reply.php, upload it to the web server, and test.
