[Chapter 6 - Pursue]

Good to know. Thanks!

[Chapter 6 - Pursue]

Thanks. That should have occurred to me. I've gotten it to work, sort of. If I try to intentionally trigger an error I get the error message (Either you entered...) up through 2037(using April 3 as the month and day). Using a 2038 year date the code

print "<p>You will turn $age this year.</p>";

gives me "You will turn -26 this year."

Here is the pertinent code:

//Check that they were born before the current day
$current_year = date('Y');
$today  = new DateTime();
$birthday = strtotime($_POST['month']."/".$_POST['day']."/".$_POST['year']);
if ($birthday < $today->getTimestamp()) {
	$age = $current_year - $_POST['year'];
	//Calculate age this year
} else {
	print '<p class="error">Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!</p>';
	$okay = FALSE;
} //End of 2nd conditional

} else { //Else for 1st conditional

print '<p class="error">Please enter the year you were born as four digits.</p>';
$okay = FALSE;

} //End of 1st conditional

What am I doing wrong?

For the fifth task I tried:

//Validate Day
if (empty($_POST['day'])) {
print '<p class="error">Please enter a value for day</p>';
$okay = FALSE;
}
//Validate Month
if (empty($_POST['month'])) {
print '<p class="error">Please enter a value for month</p>';
$okay = FALSE;
}

//Validate the birth year  
if (is_numeric($_POST['year']) AND (strlen($_POST['year']) == 4) ) {

//Check that they were born before the current day
$current_year = date('Y');
$today  = date( "n/j/Y");
$birthday = $_POST['month']."/".$_POST['day']."/".$_POST['year'];
if ($birthday < $today) {
	$age = $current_year - $_POST['year'];
	//Calculate age this year
} else {
	print '<p class="error">Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!</p>';
	$okay = FALSE;
} //End of 2nd conditional

} else { //Else for 1st conditional
print '<p class="error">Please enter the year you were born as four digits.</p>';
$okay = FALSE;

but when I enter a valid birthday, I get this message: "Either you entered your birth year wrong or you come from the future!" so my conditional ($birthday < $today) is coming back false when it shouldn't. What am I doing wrong?

For the third task, that is one option, which is the long way. The short way is to do print_r($_POST);

 

 

I tried this, but all I get is the word "Array".

 

 

 

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out. I thought I had resubmitted the form from the html file, but I must have reloaded the handle_reg.php by mistake.
