A mixture of everything LOL

hey all,

 

I've hit a little bit of a brick wall and the tyres just keep on spinning :-)

My issue is this, I have a form which is really kinda basic. It relies on user input, and has both server and client side validation, the client side being done with PHP. I have never worked with both and it was a stretch trying to do both at the same time but finally it's working.

 

This is the script for the actual PHP validation which works:

<?php

	include ('form/formvalidator.inc');

	$form = new formValidator('change_of_number');


	$form -> minimumlength('user',3,'Username must have at least 3 characters !');

	$form -> notEmpty('cnumber','You forgot to enter a Customer Number !');
	$form -> minimumlength('cnumber',7,'Customer number must be 7 characters !');
	$form -> validateNumber('cnumber','Customer Number must only contain numbers !');

	$form -> notEmpty('snumber','You forgot to enter a Service Number !');
	$form -> minimumlength('snumber',10,'Service number must be 10 characters !');
	$form -> validateNumber('snumber','Service Number must only contain numbers !');

	$form -> notEmpty('altnumber','You forgot to enter a Contact Number !');
	$form -> minimumlength('altnumber',10,'Contact Number must be 10 characters !');
	$form -> validateNumber('altnumber','Contact Number must only contain numbers !');

	$form -> notEmpty('custname','You forgot to enter the Customer Name !');

	$form -> notEmpty('con_reason','Please select Reason for Change of Number !');

	$form -> notEmpty('silent_number','Please advise if New Number is Silent !');


	$form -> setColor('#FF0000');

	$validation_js_code = $form -> parse();


	if ( $form -> valid() === true )
	{
		//this is what happens when the form validates successfully
		echo '<b>Form has been successfully submitted !</b>';
	} else if ( $form -> valid() )
	{
		$error_message = '<b style="color:red;">'.$form -> valid().'</b>';
		//if there is an error $form -> valid() returns the error message;
	}
?>

I now have in a seperate file, the mailing script, which works fine on it's own without an issue and sends a HTML based response back to the user.

 

<?php
//define the receiver of the email
$to = '[email protected]';
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'User Request : Change of Number for:';
//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";
//add boundary string and mime type specification
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>


--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>

<?
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer

//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
?>

 

My question is this, how is it that i can tie the email script to the validation script? Im guessing i can add it after

 

if ( $form -> valid() === true )

{

//this is what happens when the form validates successfully

echo '<b>Form has been successfully submitted !</b>';

} else if ( $form -> valid() )

{

 

bhut not overly sure ... any help would be appreciated :-)
