Thread: Comma in the price field

Comma in the price field

Hi,

I am having trouble with the price calculating.

If a person enters a comma along with their price, the final percentage of the sale is not calculated correctly.

Instead of the person being charged $1700, they are charged $700. Even though there is a fine print that says enter numerical values only.

Is there a quick fix or mod for this small but big problem?

You can do a filter with regex.

Thanks Allen.

Where exactly does that code go? Which file?

Re: Comma in the price field

I'm using 2.9.3,

However you can do 1 of 2 things.

1. put it in the form_process.php (you'll see similar lines) and just change myinput to PRICE
and remove the echo statement, it'll just sanitize the input.

if (! eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$", $_POST["myinput"]) ) {echo "This field only allows letters & numbers.";}

or

2. Put it in the post_form.php and give them that message.
<?php if (! eregi("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$", $_POST["myinput"]) ) {echo "This field only allows letters & numbers.";} ?>

Hope that helps.
