validate email address

[bal bal]

hi

I have got a form with name, email address and choose the pet from the list (cat or dog). How can I do the form validation with PHP, if anyone put the wrong name or invalid email address and don't choose anything from the pet list?

please help me...

 

thanks

http://www.webcheatsheet.com/php/regular_expressions.php#match On that page, a little below the "Matching Patterns" header, there is info on validating email address.

 

As for validating whether other fields where completed, you'll need to do a check like

if(trim($_POST['pet']) <= ""){ $error = "Please pick a pet"; }

Go to the Regex Section of this forum (a child forum of PHP Help) and search "email".

 

Here's one that you might find useful:
