This chapter will introduce how to ensure that all fields are entered correctly before users click the "Submit" button to submit data.
PHP - Ensure the input value in the form
After the user clicks the submit button, to ensure that the field value is entered correctly, we insert a PHP script into the input element of the HTML. The fields are named: name, email, and website. In the textarea field in the note, we place the script between the <textarea> and </textarea> tags.
The PHP script output values are: $name, $email, $website, and $comment variables.
Then, we also need to check the selected radio button, For this we The checked attribute must be set (not the value attribute of the radio button):
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>"> 名字: <input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name;?>"> <span class="error">* <?php echo $nameErr;?></span> <br><br> E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email;?>"> <span class="error">* <?php echo $emailErr;?></span> <br><br> 网址: <input type="text" name="website" value="<?php echo $website;?>"> <span class="error"><?php echo $websiteErr;?></span> <br><br> 备注: <textarea name="comment" rows="5" cols="40"><?php echo $comment;?></textarea> <br><br> 性别: <input type="radio" name="gender" <?php if (isset($gender) && $gender=="female") echo "checked";?> value="female">女 <input type="radio" name="gender" <?php if (isset($gender) && $gender=="male") echo "checked";?> value="male">男 <span class="error">* <?php echo $genderErr;?></span> <br><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
PHP - Complete form example
The following is complete PHP form validation example code:

$name = $email = $gender = $comment = $website = "";
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
if (empty($_POST["name"]))
{
$nameErr = "名字是必需的";
}
else
{
$name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
// 检测名字是否只包含字母跟空格
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name))

$nameErr = "只允许字母和空格";
}
}
if (empty($_POST["email"]))
{
$emailErr = "邮箱是必需的";
}

$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;
