Hello i need a little solution for a variable in my code its currently printing error messages but i want to keep these error messages so that i can print them any where in my html using this code <?php print_r($messages); ?>
becuase currently its printing the error message on the top of the page and my whole page messed up with this

Any solution of store messages in variable please look at my php code

include ('connectdb.php');
if (isset($_POST['formsubmitted'])) {

    if (empty($_POST['business_name'])) {

    } else {

        if (preg_match("/^[a-z0-9 .\-]+$/i", $_POST['business_name'])) {
           //regular expression for text inputs
            $business_name = $_POST['business_name'];

Have you set the css rule for errormsgbox?

I am just guessing what do you intent, you can declare your array elements:
$error['business_name'] = 'Please Enter a Business Name ';
etc.

hallianonline 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 2 · 2013-12-17T13:42:21+00:00

how can i convert this into array varriable

echo '<div class="errormsgbox"> <ol>';
foreach ($error as $key => $values) {
echo ' <li>'.$values.'</li>';
}
echo '</ol></div>';
}

Why would you convert anything?
You already have an array $error data (if there is no errors provided).
Just use it anywhere on page. You can echo variables few times as well.
Or specifically you can make a function with that code and call it where ever you want.

//$errors = array('Bad username', 'Bad pass', 'Not phone number input here',);

function displayErrors()
{
    global $errors;
    echo '<ol>';
    foreach ($errors as $error)
    {
        echo '<li>' . $error . '</li>';
    }
    echo '</ol>';
}

//displayErrors();
