Elegance is the goal... Sticky form submit help

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey everyone!

Hope you are having a great weekend, and I'm hoping someone might be coherent enough to help me find a more elegant solution to a problem that I have...

I have a form for submitting an event to a website, and if the form is not submitted successfully (such as they didn't fill out a required field) I want it to redisplay the form with inline errors as to what happened and display the values they selected...

I have a working solution but was hoping for something a little more elegant. And something that would work better for a month selector as well... Here is the relevant code that I have that works:

<?PHP
        if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] ==TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "meeting"):
echo <<<HTML
        <select name="type" id="type">
            <option value="0">-- select type --</option>
            <option value="meeting" selected>Meeting</option>
            <option value="event" >Event</option>
        </select>
HTML;

elseif ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "event"):
//if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] == TRUE & $_POST['type'] == "event") {

echo <<<HTML
        <select name="type" id="type">
            <option value="0">-- select type --</option>
            <option value="meeting">Meeting</option>
            <option value="event" selected>Event</option>
        </select>
HTML;

else:
//if ($_POST['hidSubmit'] != TRUE):


echo <<<HTML
        <select name="type" id="type">
            <option value="0" selected>-- select type --</option>
            <option value="meeting">Meeting</option>
            <option value="event">Event</option>
        </select>
HTML;
endif;

?>

which works BUT I don't want to have to have that for a month selector or a day selector :)

Any ideas what I'm missing?
