PHP Form - Required Fields

I've got my form working great thanks to Joe and David (and
others) in
this group.
I want to take it a step further by requiring three fields to
be filled
out. So I found this code to use in my thankyou2.php page:
if (!($frmName && $frmemail && $frmphone))
{echo "You must complete the
form to send it"; } else {
I *thought* that if I used it prior to the code that
processes the rest
of the page, and sends the admin e-mail, all would be swell.
However,
all I get is a blank page.
I'm almost thinking now that maybe the code needs to go on my
contact.php page rather than the thankyou.php page? That way,
the error
message could appear right on the contact page itself?
I'm fairly new to this PHP stuff, so go easy
www.paramount-const.com/contact.txt
www.paramount-const.com/thankyou2.txt
Dave

sorry:
header('Location:thankyoupage.php'.?name=$_POST['name']);
should read:
header('Location:thankyoupage.php?name='.$_POST['name']);
i misplaced the dot and quote...

PHP forms & required fields

i'm creating an inquiry form for a client hosting w/godaddy.
Site is in DW using godaddy's php form mail script. script
works fine for sending formmail.
Is it possible to validate form fields in php? the customer
wants to have the first name, email address, etc. being a required
field or the form will not submit. godaddy support is clueless,
they e-mailed a kb article on changing the form e-mail address as a
solution.
can anyone provide insight? thanx in advance!

Sure it is. It's even possible to do it in javascript before
the form gets
submitted.
Which DW are you using?

Re: PHP Form - Required Fields

Change this section of code:
if(!count($Errors)) {
$SendTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "New Contact Form";
$FromString = "From: ".$_POST['eaddress']."\r\n";
$Indhold = "Dave, Someone filled out the contact form on the
web site.
Here is the information:\r\n\r\n";
$Indhold .= "name: ".$_POST['name']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "e-mail: ".$_POST['eaddress']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "phone: ".$_POST['telefon_nr']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "subject: ".$_POST['subject']."\r\n\r\n";
$Indhold .=
"comment:\r\n".preg_replace("(\r\n|\r|\n)","\r\n",$_POST['comment'])."\r\n";
$MailSuccess = mail($SendTo,$Subject,$Indhold,$FromString);
header("Location: thankyou2.php");
exit;***************************
To this:
if(!count($Errors)) {
$SendTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "New Contact Form";
$FromString = "From: ".$_POST['eaddress']."\r\n";
$Indhold = "Dave, Someone filled out the contact form on the
web site.
Here is the information:\r\n\r\n";
$Indhold .= "name: ".$_POST['name']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "e-mail: ".$_POST['eaddress']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "phone: ".$_POST['telefon_nr']."\r\n";
$Indhold .= "subject: ".$_POST['subject']."\r\n\r\n";
$Indhold .=
"comment:\r\n".preg_replace("(\r\n|\r|\n)","\r\n",$_POST['comment'])."\r\n";
$name = [submitted name from form field];
$MailSuccess = mail($SendTo,$Subject,$Indhold,$FromString);
header('Location:thankyoupage.php?name='.$_POST['name']);
exit;***************************
That part of the code that I pasted above it creating those
strings ONLY IF
there are no errors, so you can just add in seb's code there.
HTH, take care.

Ah - see now I put the formatting how I'd *like* the user to
input it.
Because I work with anyone in any loaction, naturally the
format would be
different.
For my contact.php page - the "phone" field isn't a
requirement, but for my
quote.php it is a requirement and I just validate it just to
make sure there
is SOMETHING in the text field. Not the best way, but I trust
a true future
client will provide their phone number.
Take care Dave, glad I could be of help.

Code issue in php form - submit button not sending email

Created a form that was originally supposed to open up to 2 pages depending on what was clicked. Clear would send you to an error page, and submit would send you to a thank you page. Decided that was a waste and so did not create the html pages. BUT, wanted the form info for the contact page.
Here is the issue: it will not submit when submit is clicked. It clears when you click clear, but there's no email coming from the site via submit.
Do I need to edit the php form code if I don't want the other pages? I've looked at what I have but I don't see if there is a form error or anything here. Here is the code for anyone who wants to have a look. Thanks in advance.
<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "EMAIL FROM WEP PAGE - CONTACT - ";
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "EMAIL FROM jennylowhar.com - CONTACT -";
$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$telephone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['telephone']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
exit;
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "telephone: ";
$Body .= $telephone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "comments: ";
$Body .= $comments;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou.html\">";
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
?>

I'm confused by that, but I know this works.
$fname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['fname']);
$lname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['lname']);
$title=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['title']);
$company=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['company']);
$street=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['street']);
$town=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['town']);
$zip=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['zip']);
$phone=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['phone']);

$email=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['email']);
$comments=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['comments']);
$date=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['date']);
$time=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['time']);
$location=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['location']);
$from="$email";
$to="putemailhere";
$subject="Submission from Contact Form";
$msg= "This is a submission from yoururl.com.\n\n"

. "Zip: $zip\n"
. "Telephone: $phone\n"
. "Email Address: $email\n"
. "Comments: $comments\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' .$from);
PS, go back and edit your origial post and REMOVE your email.

Impossible to give you a better answer without knowing what
you want to
accomplish, but it sounds like your layout might be too
fragile.

Need to add senders email address into the subject header of my PHP form (somehow)

Hello one and all,
I have a PHP form which is working fine and sends our support team an email with the subject header 'Support'.
I have been asked to fix this form to include the senders email address into the Subject header so that the support team can filter them easier and reply quicker.
Any help would be very much appreciated indeed. The form code is below, let me know if you need the whole page.
Thanks in advance,
Bradley
My current form PHP part looks like this: (and the HTML part is below in blue)
<?php
    if($_GET["action"] == "email")

        $msg = $msg . "Tel: " . $_POST["Tel"] . "\n";
        $msg = $msg . "Email: " . $_POST["FROM"] . "\n";
        $msg = $msg . "Support: " . $_POST["Support"] . "\n";
        $msg = $msg . "Model: " . $_POST["Model"] . "\n";
        $msg = $msg . "Comments: " . $_POST["Comments"] . "\n";
        $to ="[email protected]";
        $subject = "Support";
        $from = "From: " . $_POST["FROM"];
        mail($to, $subject, $msg, $emailFrom, $from);

Php form processing script

Hi. I got a program to write a php form processing script. My submit form is for photo submission to my domain email. I published to site and did a test to see if it works i got this error:
Warning: require_once(F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot/includes/Upload_Photos-lib.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in F:\Domains\mydomain\mydomain.com\wwwroot\Upload_Photos.php on line 24
What does this mean? How can i solve this so that i can process my form?

See if the below form helps: You need to create a folder on your server named - upload - this is where any files uploaded will be stored (make sure the folder is writable. Also change the email address where the information that someone who has uploaded a file will go to. Look for the following in the code: $to ="XXXXXXXXXXXX.com";
<!DOCTYPE html>

PHP form strange behaviors

I have a very basic PHP form coded and whenever I look at it in Live View the bottom third of the processing code appears at the top of the webpage. Uploaded the code does not appear on the webpage and the form works fine, except that the dropdown initial values I have set are ignored.
The form URL: http://affordableroofingcontractors.com/contact-us.php
The dropdown code: (I want "select one" displayed but the form shows "Re-roofing" instead!?)
<select name="service" id="service">
            <option value="0" selected="selected"
            <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='0') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>--select one--</option>
            <option value="Proactive Roof Maintenance"
            <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Proactive Roof Maintenance') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Proactive Roof Maintenance</option>
            <option value="Roof Repairs"
             <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Roof Repairs') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Roof Repairs</option>
            <option value="Re-roofing"
             <?php if (!$_POST ||$_POST['service'] =='Re-roofing') {
    echo 'selected="selected"'; }?>>Re-roofing</option>
          </select>
The processing code:
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)){
//mail processing script
// remove escape characters from POST array
if (PHP_VERSION < 6 && get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
    $value = is_array($value) ? array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
    return $value;
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
if (!empty($_POST['area'])) {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'SUSPECTED BOT SUBMISSION from ACI quote form';
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'ACI CONTACT FORM';
//list expected fields
$expected = array('name','company','phone','email','service','building','comments');
//set required fields
$required = array('name','email','phone');
//create empty array for any missing fields
$missing = array();
//assume there is nothing suspect
$suspect = false;

Hi!
To select php form you should create a menu, fill out the type of "choice of one item of many" or "Select multiple items from the many." Must be inside FORM element and have at the start or end tags. It contains several elements OPTION, otherwise it makes no sense.
Example:
<HTML> <body>
<form method='post' action='all.php'>
     Color Scheme: <br>
    <SELECT NAME="color">
      <OPTION VALUE="Standard" SELECTED> </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Brick'> Brick </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Gray Mouse'> Gray Mouse </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Ship Bottom'> Ship Bottom </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Black Night'> Black Night </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='White Light'> White Light </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Yellow List'> Yellow List </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Pink Myth'> Pink Myth </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Green USD'> Green USD </ OPTION>
      <OPTION VALUE='Standard'> Standard </ OPTION>
    </ SELECT>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='go'>
</ form>
</ body> </ HTML>2

PHP form/Captcha alternative

I have a php form that works fine. In part: <form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
Now, to add some security to it I created a required field: What is 6 plus 6? A bot can't fill in 12, right? So then the form doesn't go to the sendmail.php file. Is there some reason this won't work? It seems so absurdly simple.

So then the form doesn't go to the sendmail.php file. Is there some reason this won't work? It seems so absurdly simple.
Hard to comment without seeing the code.

PHP Form Validation and Radio Group

Hi David,
I'm trying to set the initial state of a radio group to none.
Please look at the file http://ecopethandbags.com/contact.php. The initial state is set to "No"
In Dreamweaver, I've set the initial state to "Unchecked"
I don't understand the code for the radio buttons in my file (see attachment).
What I am trying to do is to have the radio group initially unchecked but required.
I have 2 questions:
1) - How can I control the initial status of the radio group when I use the PHP form validation?
2) - How can I set the validation so, when one of the radio buttons is not checked by the user, a warning flag like "Please make a choice" comes up.
Thank you much!

Just change the following section of code:
<?php
if (!$_POST || isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
Remove the !$_POST || like this:
<?php
if (isset($missing) && $_POST['subscribe'] == 'n') {
echo 'checked="checked"';
} ?>
The checked="checked" will be inserted into the code only if the form has been submitted, but neither radio button has been selected.

Need help with PHP form with checkboxes, radio buttons and file attachment

Hi guys,
I'm having a nightmare with this PHP form where a user can fill it in, attach a doc/pdf and submit. After trying to sort it out with previous code I've used, I've stripped it out and think I should just start again in the hope you geniuses can help!
Here is the HTML of contact.php:
<form action="" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
    <p>Job Title:*<br />
    <input name="position" type="text" /></p>

      <option value="">-- select one --</option>
      <option value="Afghan">Afghan</option>
      <option value="Albanian">Albanian</option>
      <option value="Algerian">Algerian</option>
      <option value="Zambian">Zambian</option>
      <option value="Zimbabwean">Zimbabwean</option>
    </select>
    </p>
    <p>Which country are you currently living in?*<br />
    <select name="country">
    <option value="">-- select one --</option>
    <option value="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</option>
    <option value="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</option>
    <option value="Africa">Africa</option>

    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="No" /> No
    <input class="radio" type="radio" name="right" value="N/A" /> Not applicable
    <p>Yes/No question?<br />
    <select name="continue">
    <option value="">-- select one --</option>
    <option value="Yes">Yes</option>
    <option value="No">No</option>
    </select>
    </p>
    <p>Select your resorts:<br />
    Resort 1<input name="res1" type="checkbox" value="Resort 1" />

    <p><input name="submit" value="Submit Enquiry" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>
</form>
By the way, the date boxes work so excuse the Javascript in there!
To prevent SPAM I've used a trick where there's a hidden URL field which must be left blank for the form to submit which you can see in the PHP.
Below is where I'm at with the PHP which is placed above the header of contact.php...
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
    $position = $_POST['position'];
    $arrive = $_POST['arrive'];
    $nationality = $_POST['nationality'];
    $parttime = $_POST['parttime'];
    $depart = $_POST['depart'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $telephone = $_POST['telephone'];
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Recruitment Application";
$message = $headers;
$message .= "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$message .= "E-mail: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: My Website <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$message= "
$url = stripslashes($_POST["url"]);
if (!empty($url)) {
header( 'Location: http://www.go-away-spam-robots.com' );
exit();
if (!isset($warning)) {
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header( 'Location: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/sent.php' );
?>
I would like to make pretty much all the field compulsory so if a field is left empty (other than the hidden URL field), a warning message is displayed next to that field.
Also I would like the file upload field to attach to the email that is sent to me and have the results come through to me in a table format.
Can anyone help me get my form working?
Thank you and I hope to hear from you!
SM

Hi Nancy,
Great stuff, thank you for the reply.
I've managed to get the Formm@iler working and running as I need it to.
The only thing I'm struggling with is when the user clicks submit, they are taken to a page of whatever results the form returned but it is just a white background with Times New Roman text.
How can I have it so the user is taken to the form results in the websites' page layout?
I tried sending them to a generic 'thank you' page by adding the following code but it just took them there whatever the results of the form so that's no good...! I have a feeling it's a bit more complicated than that...
header( 'Location: http://www.nofussbus.co.uk/test/sent.php' );
Thank you for your help!

Can you auto-attach files in a PHP form?

Hi there,
Have been looking over everywhere for a solution to my problem. I am going to try and be as clear as I can about the problem.
I have had some experience making simple PHP forms that let the user put their name, email, subject and body text and send it in an email using the form.
But for a project I am currently undertaking - the client has requested a form that will pre-attach a particular document to the email when it is sent. All the user has to do is input the email address of the adressee and their name/email address and all the other fields are custom made (i.e. subject, body text) - and the email will be sent to the selected recepient with the file already attached.
I was envisaging the PHP script would collect the reference for a file that is already sitting on the web server and attach it in the function.
Is there anyway to do this? Because if it isn't I may as well tell the client to go and use outlook - because the web form will really have no purpose.
Thanks in advance

Hi have proceeded along the path of inserting links
into PHP generated email but I am having trouble in outputting the body message in HTML - All I get out
in the output email is the HTML tags with the text (plain text).
Did some research and found out that I have to determine the content type/charset.
I have tried to do this in my PHP but to no avail. Also I am not getting the email or name of the sender in the email that is generated....
Anyway, there is the PHP code (and it's not that tight but it works):
AND SOME DEFAULT TEXT THAT WILL CONTAIN LINKS TO NECESSARY FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
link to PDF '.$field_message; $headers = 'From: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$cf_yremail."\r\n"; /* If your e-mail is not valid show error message */ if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $mail_to)) { ?>
Any help on this would be much appreciated....
Thanks

Php form problem and question

I am a new web designer who is not code savey yet. Anyway
during the various sites i have designed i have used 3 different
forms that process and email it to me using a seperate php form, 1
in flash, 2 from a standard html form on a windows server. All have
been uploaded, to the site, tested and worked fine. 2 are in old
sites, one in my current site. Recently all 3 forms stopped working
and while they looked like they worked fine they no longer actually
sent anything. I had a big email arguement with my host and finally
they added this line into my php script "ini_set
("sendmail_from","[email protected]");" email address is example here
and they added another form to my site called "php4-cgi-fcgi.ini."
Then my curent form started working again. I haven't changed
anything, and of course the host never informed me of any changes.
So why did this need to be added for my form to work again? Does
this mean they upgraded to another version or something? Ihad a big
arguement with them because they refused to tell me what they did
that stopped all my forms from working, they kept acting like it
was me or my provider that caused the problem, when i am positive
we were not the problem. Any thoughts?

doing a google on "ini_set ("sendmail_from" gives a lot of
info.
summary- the form script you are using is probably not
setting a default
"FROM" email address, so the host has phpmail() reject it as
possible spam
abuse.
The .ini files the host added to your site correct the
problem. They change
values for php to use within your hosting domain.
What php script are you using to send the emails? It is
probably out of date
if it doesn't address this issue.
Off Topic: suggest never arguing with hosting support. Even
it the person at
the other end of the phone is an 18 year old drone not
earning their salt.
Move the site if needed. Develop social engineering skills to
get things
done.
