what are all the }'s for in your php?

take them out and see what happens

also try add this to the top of your code to display php errors

ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',true);

I was wondering how would I code the php to make where the person has to fill in the email and phone number?? I am not sure if it is hard or not. I was looking at another php file but the codes were different. So I couldn't copy them.

Any help would be wonderful.. But if not that's ok, you helped so much already!

Hey its not hard at all

Actually, as a rule of thumb you should always validate user input before doing anything with it because that's the easiest way for anyone to mess with your script... just have something like this at the start of the form handler for example:

if($_POST['email']==''){
    // empty email entered
    // send the user back and print error message... you can do this in a number of ways for example with sessions if you're using them:
    $_SESSION['errmsg'] = 'email is required';
    header('Location: formurl.php');
}

theres tons of other better or worse ways to do this for example if you're not using sessions you could just pass the error message back via GET

header('Location: formurl.php?errmsg=invalidemail');

and back in the form page have something to check for an error message and display it if necessary:

if(isset($_SESSION['errmsg'])){
    echo $_SESSION['errmsg'];
}

this is just a simple example hope it'll help to get ya started!

PS:

- if you know any javascript its always a good idea to validate client-side before sending stuff over

- you should really validate and clean ALL fields (except maybe select boxes) before doing anything with them, i'd be happy to show some more examples if you want just dont wanna make this post too long!

hi there ..thank you. I am a complete n00b with this.

So the code:

if($_POST['email']==''){

// empty email entered

// send the user back and print error message... you can do this in a number of ways for example with sessions if you're using them:

$_SESSION['errmsg'] = 'email is required';

header('Location: formurl.php');

}

where do I put this? and this is the code where the email is required?

thank you so much..

ratcateme · September 27, 2008

you could replace

$from = $_REQUEST['email'];

with

if($_REQUEST['email']==''){
    // empty email entered
    // send the user back and print error message... you can do this in a number of ways for example with sessions if you're using them:
    $_SESSION['errmsg'] = 'email is required';
    header('Location: http://www.favorilimousine.com/bookingTEST.html');
    exit; //stop script so it is not processed with the error
}else{
    $from = $_REQUEST['email'];
}

change your form to a php file and add this to it somewhere

if(isset($_SESSION['errmsg'])){
    echo $_SESSION['errmsg'];
}

but remember for the header to work it needs to be at the top of your page before any output so rearrange the php file so all the php code validating user input is at the top if tour page before your HTML and JavaScript.
