ZeroError

Recommended Posts

I did a quick Google search and couldn't quite find the answer I wanted in terms I could understand, so, if I may, I'd like to ask quite a specific question.

 

I'm creating a contact form, and I need to make sure all of the elements are filled in:

if(isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['comment']) && isset($_POST['from']) && $_POST['comment'] != "Enter your message here.")
{
    //send me an email;
}
else
{
    //Tell the user to fill everything in;
}

 

I've tested the code a few times, but it keeps executing the else. I've checked it a few times, and I can't understand why.

Are you sure that you have everything named correctly..  what does your HTML form look like?

 

another way to check these kind of things is this

$formSuccess = false;
foreach($_POST as $formElement => $value) {
         if(isset($_POST[$formElement]) $formSuccess = true;
         else $formSuccess = false;
    //Then for the comment one.
         if($formElement == 'comment' && $value == 'Enter your message here.') $formSuccess = false;
}
if($formSuccess) {
   //send mail
} else {
  // Error
}

 

or even shorter

$formSuccess = false;
foreach($_POST as $formElement => $value) {
       $formSuccess = isset($_POST[$formElement]);
       if($formElement == 'comment' && $value == 'Enter your message here.') $formSuccess = false;
}
if($formSuccess) {
   //send mail
} else {
  // Error
}

This is the entire thing, sorry if it's a bit untidy!

This is your "comment" box... I'm assuming

Enter your message here.

 

Notice that it's named message?

 

Notice below how you're not looking at message.... but "comment"... which doesn't exist

OST['name']) && isset($_POST['comment']) && isset($_

Ah, I just got that.

Didn't look carefully enough.

 

Thanks very much!

 

You see that readonly text area with the IP in it?

Do you happen to know how to make it only one line? I can't find out how, I've tried rows="0", but that just gives about two lines.
