Webform validation functions

[mraquinn]

Hi,

 

I'm working on a Drupal-based site and creating a contact form with Webform.  I have these two snippets of code to add to the form to validate the email addresses; the first checks the email address is a valid one (to a small extent) and the second one compares the two given addresses to ensure they are the same.

 

What I can't do is combine these into one function so that I can use it in Webform.  Could anyone help please?

 

Also, any suggestions on making the first function better are appreciated.

 

Thanks!

 

<?php

$email_address = $form_values['submitted_tree']['email_address'];

if (strlen(trim($email_address)) > 0) {

if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email_address))

form_set_error('submitted][email_address', t('Your email address is not valid.'));

};

?>

 

<?php
if ($form_values['submitted_tree']['email1'] != $form_values['submitted_tree']['email2']) {
form_set_error('submitted][email1', t('E-mail addresses must match.'));
}
?>

You mean something like this?

 

<?php
function checkEmail($email1,$email2){
$email_address = $email1;
$email_address_check - $email2;
if (strlen(trim($email_address)) > 0) {
	if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email_address))
		return form_set_error('submitted][email_address', t('Your email address is not valid.'));
}
if ($email_address !== $email_address_check) {
	return form_set_error('submitted][email1', t('E-mail addresses must match.'));
}
return TRUE;
}

$result = checkEmail($form_values['submitted_tree']['email1'], $form_values['submitted_tree']['email2']);
?>

Hi and thanks for your help.

 

For whatever reason that always returns the error message that the emails don't match, even when they do....which is odd.

Any ideas how to get this working?  ???
