Using "if" commands with 2 separate buttons / if statements

[mat420]

thanks x a million in advance people.  ok i know no php but i feel like im really close to editing this code to how i want it.

i want one send to check the text box captcha and everything else listed there

and i want send2 to check if email1 and email2 match, and if they do, then mail email1 and/or 2.

i preferably need to also have a separate one of these for send2 also:

<?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>

 

heres what i have otherwise, i basically just copied two php "if ___, then do ___" above eachother.

<?php
if ($_POST['send']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if (empty($_POST['email']))  {
	$errors[] = "Please enter an e-mail address"; 
} 
else if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", 

$_POST['email'])) 
{ 
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; 
} 
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors[] = "The two emails do not match!";
}
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();
$name_field = $_POST['name']; 
$email_field = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$optional = $_POST['callback'];
$cs = $_POST['cs'];
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$body = "Name: $name_field, Email: $email_field, Phone: $phone, Location: $cs, Call Them! 

$optional, Message: $message";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
	// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"
	// to display some HTML only when the 
	// user passes the test
?>
<?php
if ($_POST['send2']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if (empty($_POST['email1']))  {
	$errors[] = "Please enter an e-mail address"; 
} 
else if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", 

$_POST['email1'])) 
{ 
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; 
} 
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors[] = "The two emails do not match!";
}
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$body = "$email1, $email2";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
	// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"
	// to display some HTML only when the 
	// user passes the test

?>

bumpsssss

[denno020]

Do you know that you have a few missing closing curly brackets? I'm trying to find where if statements start and end, but I'm finding it very hard...

 

Also, what is the purpose of send1 and send2? Are these options in the form?

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

$_POST['email1']))

 

 

should there be one between those 2 lines?

well send1 and send2 both are suppose to check captchas and meet other criteria before submitting.

i dont really care if the same captcha shows, so i used the same image (if thats even possible..with two different criterias needing to be met)

but i want send1, to check email entered, valid email, valid captcha on the right hand side

and then send2 on the left, i want to check email1 and email2 text boxes to make sure they match, as well as captcha

and send if so.

 

http://aciddr0p.net/drtest/demo2.php  <- ignore the "email us" button, and theres an emample. i need a new error label for the left hand side too. im trying to create a quick ...wow im an idiot.

im making a "request a call back" not request an email back. email1 and email2 need to have matching PHONE NUMBERS not emails. not that it makes a difference. thank you.

[denno020]

Ahhh now this makes sense lol.

 

What I would do is pretty similar to what you have.. Give each submit button a different name, then when processing in php:

//assuming left send button is called submitEmail and right is called submitContact
if(isset($_POST["submitEmail"])){
  //do the form processing for the email submission part
}else if(isset($_POST["submitContact"])){ 
  //do the form processing for the contact part
}

 

Is that the sort of thing you're after?

well look, this is the working code, to check the form on the right. and send if everythings good.

<?php
if ($_POST['send']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if (empty($_POST['email']))  {
	$errors[] = "Please enter an e-mail address"; 
} 
else if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $_POST['email'])) 
{ 
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; 
} 
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors[] = "The two emails do not match!";
}
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();
$name_field = $_POST['name']; 
$email_field = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$optional = $_POST['callback'];
$cs = $_POST['cs'];
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$body = "Name: $name_field, Email: $email_field, Phone: $phone, Location: $cs, Call Them! $optional, Message: $message";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
	// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"
	// to display some HTML only when the 
	// user passes the test
?>

 

 

i need to know how to add if commands for ANOTHER button now, it didnt let me just put it right underneith (send2).

 

[denno020]

What didn't let you? I don't understand the problem you're having?

[mat420]

my code looks good then? all i did was take the code i showed u right in the last post

and i added this immediately underneath it:

 

<?php
if ($_POST['send2']) {
$errors = array();
if ($_POST['captcha2'] != $_SESSION['captchacode']) {
	$errors[] = "You didn't enter the correct letters!";
}
if (empty($_POST['email1']))  {
	$errors[] = "Please enter an e-mail address"; 
} 
else if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", 

$_POST['email1'])) 
{ 
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; 
} 
if ($_POST['email1'] != $_POST['email2']) {
$errors[] = "The two emails do not match!";
}
if (!count($errors)) {
	// IMPORTANT: If you don't call this the 
	// user will keep getting the SAME code!
	captchaDone();
$email1 = $_POST['email1'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$body = "$email1, $email2";
	mail($myaddress, 'Contact Form Submission', $body);
	// Notice we can shift in and out of "HTML mode"
	// to display some HTML only when the 
	// user passes the test
?>

[denno020]

It needs to be an else if mate. The user can't hit both the submit buttons at the same time? So you're checking one OR the other, not both...

 

Also, on your site, you don't have any form tags for the email part, only in the contact part.. I assume you will be fixing this up?

 

Denno

[mat420]

i dont follow. what exactly is wrong? what needs to be self if exactly? when i had the 2nd to last code posted, it worked fine on that contact form. i made "name" and "email" have to match before it sent (just as a test), but when i tried to make that a requirement on the left hand side, on 2 new text boxes, it didnt work.

 

then if it helps any i got this thats USING that php - sorruy for the mess

<input type="text" name="email1" id="email1" MAXLENGTH=30 value="<?php if  

(!empty($_POST['email1'])) { echo $_POST['email1']; } ?>" />
<input type="text" name="email2" id="email2" MAXLENGTH=30 value="<?php if  

(!empty($_POST['email2'])) { echo $_POST['email2']; } ?>" />
</p>
              
<td valign="top"><input name="captcha2" size="8"/>
</td> 
</tr><tr>
<td valign="top"><span class="class2">
  <label for="Message"><a href="<?php echo captchaWavUrl()?>">Listen To This</a> / <a 

href="javascript:location.reload(true);">Refresh</a></label></span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<img style="vertical-align: middle" src="<?php echo captchaImgUrl()?>">  

  <input type="submit" name="send2" value="Submit"/>
<font color="red"><b><?php
if (isset($errors)) {
foreach ($errors as $error) {
	echo("<p>$error<p>\n");
}
}
?>

[mat420]

i dont follow. if send1 is hit it checks one thing (actually 2-3) and if send2 is hit, it checks email1 and email2

i can make it do that i think. i just needd to know hoq to setup the 2 different scenarios if i cant just put them right above/under eachother

[denno020]

Yeah man that's what I'm trying to tell you... From the code that I posted, only one if section will run, so it doesn't matter if you have similar or the same code in the top 'if' as you do in the 'else if' because only one will run.

 

Follow the format that I gave you, and you shouldn't have any problems..

 

Denno

[mat420]

what format did u give me? im lost. gonna go waste another 5 hours figuring this out. be back im sure.

[denno020]

Dude seriously... Here is the code again, read the comments in the code (they'll appear orange)

//assuming left send button is called submitEmail and right is called submitContact
if(isset($_POST["submitEmail"])){
  //do the form processing for the email submission part
}else if(isset($_POST["submitContact"])){ 
  //do the form processing for the contact part
}

 

I can't help you any further if you can't understand what I'm suggesting to you here..

 

Denno

[mat420]

i just wanna make sure were on the same page at least, u see that this part is my error right? as soon as i put this "if send button is hit" under the under "if send button is hit" the page stops loading

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /homepages/4/d289686807/htdocs/drtest/demo2.php on line 735

 

thanks man

[mat420]
