USER INPUT AND CONDITIONS

USER INPUT AND CONDITIONS

 Now we will use these inputs to create a page
that automatically changes background color
according to what the user's favorite color is.
 We can do this by creating a condition that uses
the data the user has filled out in the form.

67
<?php
$strHeading = "<h1>Hello " . $_POST["username"] .
"</h1>";
switch ($_POST["favoritecolor"]) {

16/11/2024
case "r": $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(255,0,0)"; break;
case "g"; $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(0,255,0)"; break;
case "b": $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(0,0,255)"; break;
default: $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(255,255,255)";
break;
}
?>
<html> <head> <title>Form</title> </head>
<body style="background: <?php echo
$strBackgroundColor; ?>;">
<?php echo $strHeading; ?> </body> </html> 68
USER INPUT AND CONDITIONS

 The background color will be white if the user
has not chosen any favorite color in the form.
 This is done by using default to specify what
should happen if none of the above conditions are
met.
 But what if the user does not fill out his name?

 Then it only says "Hello" in the title.

 We will use an extra condition to change that.

69
<?php
$strUsername = $_POST["username"];
if ($strUsername != "") {
$strHeading = "<h1>Hello " . $_POST["username"] .

16/11/2024
"</h1>"; }
else { $strHeading = "<h1>Hello stranger!</h1> "; }
switch ($_POST["favoritecolor"]) {
case "r": $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(255,0,0)"; break;
case "g"; $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(0,255,0)"; break;
case "b": $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(0,0,255)"; break;
default: $strBackgroundColor = "rgb(255,255,255)";
break; }
?>
<html> <head> <title>Form</title> </head> <body
style="background: <?php echo $strBackgroundColor;
?>;"> <? echo $strHeading; ?> </body> </html>

 In the example above, we use a condition to
validate the information from the user.
 In this case, it might not be so important if the
user did not write his name.
 But as you code more and more advanced stuff,
it's vital that you take into account that the user
may not always fill out forms the way you had
imagined.
