Hiya,

 

Im still quote new to PHP - Ive created a form, and I need to stop it being allowed to send with empty fields. At the moment people can just fill in anything or nothing and click submit. Any ideas how I would do this? So far Ive got:

 

<?php

 

$my_email = "jobepage@googlemail.com";

 

/*

 

Enter the continue link to offer the user after the form is sent. If you do not change this, your visitor will be given a continue link to your homepage.

 

If you do change it, remove the "/" symbol below and replace with the name of the page to link to, eg: "mypage.htm" or "http://www.elsewhere.com/page.htm"

 

*/

 

$continue = "/";

 

/*

 

Step 3:

 

Save this file (FormToEmail.php) and upload it together with your webpage containing the form to your webspace. IMPORTANT - The file name is case sensitive! You must save it exactly as it is named above! Do not put this script in your cgi-bin directory (folder) it may not work from there.

 

THAT'S IT, FINISHED!

 

You do not need to make any changes below this line.

 

*/

 

$errors = array();

 

// Remove $_COOKIE elements from $_REQUEST.

 

if(count($_COOKIE)){foreach(array_keys($_COOKIE) as $value){unset($_REQUEST[$value]);}}

 

// Check all fields for an email header.

 

function recursive_array_check_header($element_value)

{

 

global $set;

 

if(!is_array($element_value)){if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+)(content-type:|to:|cc:|bcc:)/i",$element_value)){$set = 1;}}

else

{

 

foreach($element_value as $value){if($set){break;} recursive_array_check_header($value);}

 

}

 

}

 

recursive_array_check_header($_REQUEST);

 

if($set){$errors[] = "You cannot send an email header";}

 

unset($set);

 

// Validate email field.

 

if(isset($_REQUEST['email']) && !empty($_REQUEST['email']))

{

 

if(preg_match("/(%0A|%0D|\n+|\r+|:)/i",$_REQUEST['email'])){$errors[] = "Email address may not contain a new line or a colon";}

 

$_REQUEST['email'] = trim($_REQUEST['email']);

 

if(substr_count($_REQUEST['email'],"@") != 1 || stristr($_REQUEST['email']," ")){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_email = explode("@",$_REQUEST['email']);if(empty($exploded_email[0]) || strlen($exploded_email[0]) > 64 || empty($exploded_email[1])){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{if(substr_count($exploded_email[1],".") == 0){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{$exploded_domain = explode(".",$exploded_email[1]);if(in_array("",$exploded_domain)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid";}else{foreach($exploded_domain as $value){if(strlen($value) > 63 || !preg_match('/^[a-z0-9-]+$/i',$value)){$errors[] = "Email address is invalid"; break;}}}}}}

 

}

 

// Check referrer is from same site.

 

if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) && stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']))){$errors[] = "You must enable referrer logging to use the form";}

 

// Check for a blank form.

 

function recursive_array_check_blank($element_value)

{

 

global $set;

 

if(!is_array($element_value)){if(!empty($element_value)){$set = 1;}}

else

{

 

foreach($element_value as $value){if($set){break;} recursive_array_check_blank($value);}

 

}

 

}

 

recursive_array_check_blank($_REQUEST);

 

if(!$set){$errors[] = "You cannot send a blank form";}

 

unset($set);

 

// Display any errors and exit if errors exist.

 

if(count($errors)){foreach($errors as $value){print "$value<br>";} exit;}

 

if(!defined("PHP_EOL")){define("PHP_EOL", strtoupper(substr(PHP_OS,0,3) == "WIN") ? "\r\n" : "\n");}

 

// Build message.

 

function build_message($request_input){if(!isset($message_output)){$message_output ="";}if(!is_array($request_input)){$message_output = $request_input;}else{foreach($request_input as $key => $value){if(!empty($value)){if(!is_numeric($key)){$message_output .= str_replace("_"," ",ucfirst($key)).": ".build_message($value).PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL;}else{$message_output .= build_message($value).", ";}}}}return rtrim($message_output,", ");}

 

$message = build_message($_REQUEST);

 

$message = $message . PHP_EOL.PHP_EOL."-- ".PHP_EOL."";

 

$message = stripslashes($message);

 

$subject = "Registration";

 

$headers = "From: webmaster@gsa.co.uk";

 

mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers);

 

?>

 

Thanks for any help.

Im not helping until you put your code in code tags as i dont know whats text and whats code.

Just create an array like this

 

 

$errors[] = array();

 

and then check fields like this

 

 

if(!$name){
$errors[] = "Please enter a name!!!";
}

if(!$email){
$errors[] = "Please enter your email!!!";
}

if(count($errors) > 0){
foreach($errors AS $error){

echo "$error<br />";

}

}else{
//DO stuff if errors are not flaged

}
