form validation lightbox php if/else statement
Hey guys I am having the most hard time trying to figure this out.
I think I understand lightboxes and how they work. I used on in a play server and it worked fine; until I used it in an if else statement in php to test out form validation. If the user fills the form inproperly than this lightbox of a fail image should popup, but it doesn't. I do hope that someone in this wonderful sight could help me
<html>
<?php
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/j``avascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
$EmailAddres = $_POST[Email];
$FirstName = $_POST[FName];
$LastName = $_POST[LName];
$PhoneNumber = $_POST[Phone];
$AltPhoneNumber = $_POST[AltPhone];
//This is the testing and the validation testing
$flag="OK";
$msg="";
$todo="test";
if(!ereg("^[-A-Za-z]*$",$FirstName)){
echo "Invalid first Name";
$flag="NOTOK";
}
if(!ereg("^[-A-Za-z]*$",$LastName)){
echo "Invalid Last Name";
$flag="NOTOK";
}
if(!ereg("^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+[-A-Za-z0-9_.]*[@]{1}[-A-Za-z0-9_]+[-A-Za-z0-9_.]*[.]{1}[A-Za- z]{2,5}$",$_POST[Email])){
echo "Invalid Email Address";
$flag="NOTOK";
}
/*This is to validate the phone number input */
if(!ereg("[0-9]{10,11}", $PhoneNumber)){
echo "Invalid phone number";
$flag="NOTOK";
}
if($flag == "NOTOK"){
echo '<p><a href="images/fail.png" rel="lightbox" class="lightbox_trigger"&g开发者_JS百科t;</a></p>';
// echo "something is definitely wrong here";
}
?>

It's not enough to just print out the link reference with PHP. You need to set the javascript in motion.
Here is a short blog entry from someone who solved your exact same problem. It's older, but it works.
