Please help with form field when empty not to submit

[oavs]

Hi  ,

 

Can anyone please help me with this simple script. This is a flash site calls for a external php contact.php file to submit flash form.

 

It is all working. The only thing I want to do is when the fields are empty, I like  form to NOT submit. I have been getting a lot of empty emails without content.

 

Here is the code, let me know if anything else you need to know. Also is it possible to submit the IP of the user. This is not important but if it can be done without the flash file would be great.

 

Many thanks 

 

<?php

 

$sendto = '[email protected]';

$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';

$name = $_POST['fromname'];

$from = $_POST['fromemail'];

$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];

$message = $_POST['frommessage'];

$message = stripslashes($message);

 

$content = "Name: " . $ip . "\n";

$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";

$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";

$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";

$content .= $message;

 

//if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))

if(empty($content ))

{

echo 'response=failed';

}

elseif(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))

{

echo 'response=passed';

}

 

?>

 

<?php

//original code

//$sendto = '[email protected]';

//$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';

//$name = $_POST['fromname'];

//$from = $_POST['fromemail'];

//$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];

//$message = $_POST['frommessage'];

//$message = stripslashes($message);

 

//$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";

//$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";

//$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";

//$content .= $message;

 

//if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))

//{

// echo 'response=passed';

//}

//else

//{

// echo 'response=failed';

//}

 

?>

If this helps, here is the flash code:

 

send_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, submit);

 

function submit(e:MouseEvent):void

{

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();

variables.fromname = Name_txt.text;

variables.fromemail = Email_txt.text;

variables.fromephone = Phone_txt.text;

variables.frommessage = Message_txt.text;

 

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("contact.php");

req.data = variables;

req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

 

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;

loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, Success);

loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, Failed);

loader.load(req);

Status_txt.text = "Sending...";

}

 

function Success(e:Event):void

{

Status_txt.text = "Success! The message was sent!";

Name_txt.text = "";

Email_txt.text = "";

Phone_txt.text = "";

Message_txt.text = "";

}

 

function Failed(e:IOErrorEvent):void

{

Status_txt.text = "There was an error. Please try again later.";

}

your code should be as follows also I feel you should check if the fields are empty in flash

 

<?php

$sendto = '[email protected]';
$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';
$name = $_POST['fromname'];
$from = $_POST['fromemail'];
$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];
$message = $_POST['frommessage'];
$message = stripslashes($message);

$content = "IP: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n";
$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";
$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";
$content .= $message;

//if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))
if(empty($name ) || empty($email) || empty ($phone) || empty ($message))
{
echo 'response=failed';
}
elseif(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))
{
echo 'response=passed';
}

?>

<?php
//original code
//$sendto = '[email protected]';
//$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';
//$name = $_POST['fromname'];
//$from = $_POST['fromemail'];
//$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];
//$message = $_POST['frommessage'];
//$message = stripslashes($message);

//$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";
//$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";
//$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";
//$content .= $message;

//if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))
//{
// echo 'response=passed';
//}
//else
//{
// echo 'response=failed';
//}

?>

Thank you for your kind help. Form is now not sending at all.

Try this mate.

 

<?php

$sendto = '[email protected]';
$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';
$name = $_POST['fromname'];
$from = $_POST['fromemail'];
$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];
$message = $_POST['frommessage'];
$message = stripslashes($message);

$content = "Name: " . $ip . "\n";
$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";
$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";
$content .= $message;

//if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))
if(empty($_POST['fromname']))
{
$error['fromname'] = 'You need to enter From';
}
if(empty($_POST['fromemail']))
{
$error['fromemail'] = 'You need to enter your Email';
}
if(empty($_POST['fromphone']))
{
$error['fromphone'] = 'You need to enter your Phone Number';
}
if(empty($_POST['frommessage']))
{
$error['frommessage'] = 'You need to enter your Message';
}

// All you need to do with them variables is put them anywhere on the page, and the errors will display there
//example
// echo ''.$error['fromname'].'<br />'.$error['fromemail'].'<br />';
// etc etc
// Or you can do it this method
// echo $error['fromname'];
// then else where on your form for another field
// echo $error['fromemail'];

if (!isset($error))
{
mail($sendto,$subject,$content)
echo 'response=passed';
}

/* original code
$sendto = '[email protected]';
$subject =  'Message From XXXYYYZZZ';
$name = $_POST['fromname'];
$from = $_POST['fromemail'];
$phone = $_POST['fromphone'];
$message = $_POST['frommessage'];
$message = stripslashes($message);

$content = "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$content .= "Email: " . $from . "\n\n";
$content .= "Phone: " . $phone . "\n\n";
$content .= $message;

if(mail($sendto,$subject,$content))
{
echo 'response=passed';
}
else
{
echo 'response=failed';
} */

?>

No difference. Still no emails are sent. It says it is sending when submitted blank or filled in,

[rajivgonsalves]

the php code was right you would have to modify your flash code accordingly to show the error ?

[oavs]

I have posted the flash email code above your answer. I don't know what else it needs. 

[rajivgonsalves]

you would have to take the response and evaluate it in flash and display the right message, on a side note the php code I provided checks for all the fields to be filled

[oavs]

Hi 

I am sorry but I don't know how to do that. If you can give me one line of example, may be I can follow and do the rest. I know what you are saying it is just I don't know how to evaluate it in flash as it has functions that not sure how to insert php code into.

take a look here there is an example at the bottom
