SMS code checker

Hello again!

I want to add field where user can enter code sent by SMS. But it troubles me where do i put the checker code, so if it's wrong, to return error message?

the code is

<?PHP

function mobio_checkcode($servID, $code, $debug=0) {

	$ret = 0;

	$mobio_socket = fsockopen("www.mobio.bg", 80);

	if(!$mobio_socket) {
		if($debug)
			echo "Unable to connect to mobio.bg server\n";
		$ret = 0;
	}else{
		$request .= "GET http://www.mobio.bg/code/checkcode.php?servID=$servID&code=$code HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
		fwrite($mobio_socket, $request);
		$result = fread($mobio_socket, 255);
		if(strstr($result, "PAYBG=OK")) {
			$ret = 1;
		}else{
			$ret = 0;
			if($debug)
				echo strstr($result, "PAYBG");
		}
		fclose($mobio_socket);
	}

	return $ret;
}


$servID = 16;
$code = $_REQUEST["code"];
if(mobio_checkcode($servID, $code, 1) == 1) {
	echo "Valid code";
}else{
	echo "Invalid code";
}


?>

Thanks!

Hi vbarlakoski,

Ths look like a case to use Ajax to check the code when the user types it in. Alterantively you can use it in he Server side validation after the form is submitted.

Yup, i was thinking about checking after submit, like captcha code does. But,
can you help me where to put the validation code, and how should i connect with the field?

Hi vbarlakoski,

Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6/1.7/2.5.

Bob

Hello!

Its 4.0 RC3.11 Joomla 2.5.

Hi vbarlakoski ,

Thank - then you can use the Custom Serverside Validation action in the On Submit event to run the check.

There's a new release CFv4 RC4 that you should upgrafd to as it has some bug-fixes as well as new features.

Bob

Thanks Bob!

I`ll check it. Just one more question, because the SMS code field is not required (if you fill it, you`ll get extra options, if you not, you have basic options) how can i set, if the field is filled up, then check after submit. Or there is no other way?

Hi vbarlakoski,

I'm sorry I don't understand your question :-(

Bob

I`ll try to be more clear🙂

SMS code field is not REQUIRED, so i want to check it only if its filled up.

How can i finish it?

Thanks!

Hi vbarlakoski,

In the Serverside validation check if there is an entry in the form data. Assuming that the input is named sms_code:

<?php
if ( !isset($form->data['sms_code']) && $form->data['sms_code'] ) {
  // run the check code
}
?>

Bob

Super duper!

I will let you know if it works!

Hello Bob!

<?php 
if ( (isset($form->data['input_text_21'])) && ($form->data['input_text_21'] != '')) {
// run the check code
}
?>

This is the actual code for field checking thats work!

So, thanks🙂 It Works!
