Re: Preventing Identical Form Fields

Thanks y'all! Everything's workin great now. Jon Haworth wrote:

With javascript onSubmit, but that ain't php, so with if($form1==$form2){sendthembackwitherrors()}

Thanks Chris, but I have about 10 different fields and want to make sure none of those are the same.

You could brute force it: $ok = true; if ($field1 == $field2 || $field1 == $field3 || .... ) $ok = false; if ($field2 == $field3 || $field2 == $field4 || .... ) $ok = false; if ($ok == false) sendThemBackWithErrors (); Or you could use array_unique: // Substitute $_GET if you're using GET instead of POST ;-) if ($_POST != array_unique ($_POST)) sendThemBackWithErrors (); I'm not sure if this second one would work - I don't know if you can do straight comparisons of arrays - but the idea is to check that the submitted array is the same as the array with all the duplicates removed (if it isn't, there was a duplicate).
