 Posted: Sun May 04, 2008 10:08 pm Post subject: Problem with 'password' value |
 |
|
I am new to QuickForm (and coding in general) and seem to be having problems sending value from a "password" field through to my database.
After the user fills out the form, including a username and password, I validate the form, freeze it, then display it so that the user can double-check the information. If you view source, the "password" field is just "*******", which I am assuming is expected behavior, but I also assumed the the value of that field would get passed through to the confirmation form.
Once the user submits the confirmed, frozen form, the information gets put in my "Members" table. A record is created in my "auth" table after they click the email link. For some reason, after the submit on the confirmation page, the "password" field is blank because the call to $form->validate() displays "Password is a required field" as per my rule. Any idea how to grab the raw password field text so I can store it? Or should I drop it into the "auth" table before I even do anything else? I'm a little confused on this point.
Thanks for any help.
(In order to try and get the confirmation form working, I created a $saveform variable that stores whether or not the user accepted the confirmation page. And I check that before validating the form. Probably not the best way to do this...)

At first, please replace addslashes() by mysql_real_escape_string(), as only the latter ensures safety for your SQL queries.
The behaviour of the password form element is expected behaviour. Instead of submitting the frozen form, I'd write all submitted values into a session. Below the confirmation display of the form, you could place two links, e.g. "correct entries" (here you would populate setDefaultValues() with the values from the session) and "proceed" (here you could send an email or do whatever is appropriate). |
