Needle in a Haystack

Hi,

I am trying to locate within your forums a code snippet that some one posted that created form fields and validated them dynamically upon POST. I beleive it was in response to a help request for email validation, but I'm unsure.

The form field names were specially crafted to contain more than just the name of the field. I remember it being something similar to:

Code: Select all

<?php

$text_input = "myfieldname_size30_text";

?>
...or something like that. It also included validation routines based on the input name.

I have searched the forums a few times but I am unable to find the example. I figure someone might recognize the description and point me in the right direction. It's not very much information to go on so it's ok if no one has any idea about what the heck I am talking about. :)

I just remember thinking it was a good example to keep track of, but as you see I did not do that. :(

Thanks

Try searching for the username 'ole'. I know he was working on something like this once. And I think Oren and Burrito had also, though I could be mistaken.

Indeed... I wasn't working on something like that as far as I remember. Actually, I was, but never posted about it on this forum.

Thanks Everah...much appreciated.

Edit: and thanks to you to Oren.
