Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2004 6:18 pm Post subject: SmartyValidate suggested control structure |
|
|
I have a report to write, which requires some input from the user before being ran, e.g. date ranges and selecting data pulled from a DB. I'm using SmartyValidate to validate the user's selections/input.
My first thought was to have 2 sets of files
filter.php - filter.tpl
report.php - report.tpl
but I'm wondering if it's better to have a only a single php file as in
report.php - filter.tpl and report.tpl
What are your opinions on the two control structures below? Is there a better way to do this? an article I can be pointed to?
A) Note, I'm not sure how to redirect to a php file in this scenario...
Code: |
// filter.php
if(empty($_POST)) {
// Gather filter data from the database here
SmartyValidate::register_form('filterForm', true);
$smarty->display('filter.tpl');
} else {
// validate after a POST
if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST,'filterForm')) {
// no errors, done with SmartyValidate
SmartyValidate::disconnect();
// Redirect to report.php?
// Can I retain form selections?
} else {
// error, redraw the form
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('filter.tpl');
}
}
//report.php
// Gather report data from the database here
$smarty->display('report.tpl');
|
B) Gather data all in a single file...
Code: |
// filter.php
if(empty($_POST)) {
// Gather filter data from the database here
SmartyValidate::register_form('filterForm', true);
$smarty->display('filter.tpl');
} else {
// validate after a POST
if(SmartyValidate::is_valid($_POST,'filterForm')) {
// no errors, done with SmartyValidate
SmartyValidate::disconnect();
// Gather report data from the database here
$smarty->display('report.tpl');
} else {
// error, redraw the form
$smarty->assign($_POST);
$smarty->display('filter.tpl');
}
}

I'm new to PHP and Smarty, but I'd like to do things in a standard sort of fashion. Of course neither of these ways may be acceptable.
Thanks for your comments and help. |
