Form Validation

music_fan01 · September 4, 2011

I just got my form working properly, but now I want to add some form validation for it. I would like to validate the name, email address, and textarea. So, I got it started, but I am stuck and not too sure what to do next or where to go.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>Contact</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

$first_name=$_POST['name'];

$email_address=$_POST['email'];

$subject=$_POST['subject'];

$message=$_POST['text'];

mail("starr05@gmail.com","Subject: $subject",

$message, "From: $first_name <$email_address>");

echo "Thank you for using our mail form.<br/>";

echo "Your email has been sent.";

?>

</body>

</html>
