duncan913 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Trying to make the email field in my form mandatory.

fugix Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 you would need to put you mail() function inside of an if statement that checks to see if your $email field is passed .... eg if(!empty($email)) { $headers = "From: $email\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n"; $success = mail($webMaster, $emailsubject, $body, $headers); }; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/237169-required-field/#findComment-1218897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncan913 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 would i need an else statement, cause the way i read that, is that it only sends me an email if the email field isnt empty. Otherwise it still redirects them to the thank you page and emails me nothing Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/237169-required-field/#findComment-1218938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
