Hi,

I've this in my source:

echo '<p class="required">'."\n";

if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
print $validator->getError();
}
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && !checkAnswer()){
print "The spamtrap question was not answered correctly!<br />";
}
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
print $validator->getErrorText();
}
echo '</p>'."\n";

and as you can see I print out the <p> tags to have a container for the
error msg. The problem is now that I'm using a background image in the
<p class="required"> block and since I print out the <p> tags no matter
what you can see part of the "error block" if there are errors or not.
(I just get an empty <p></p> if no errors... not good!

So I need another way where I don't print out the <p> tags unless I need
them.

Any ideas?

$error = false;
$spam = false;

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && $validator->getError()){
$error = true;
}
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && !checkAnswer()){
$spam = true;
}
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST' && $validator->getErrorText()){
$error = true;
}

if ($error || $spam) {
// print out all your messages
}

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I just found a solution and I was thinking way to
complicated. Thanks a lot for your soluion.

<?php
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
echo '<p class="required">'."\n";

print $validator->getError();
if(!checkAnswer()){
print "The spamtrap question was not answered correctly!<br />";
}
print $validator->getErrorText();

echo '</p>'."\n";
