Send Form Help

[TorQueMoD]

Hey all, not sure this is considered a "math" problem, but I don't have a clue what regex is so I figured this is the best bet. 

I've been successfully using this code that was originally generated for me back in march (can't for the life of me figure out where it was generated) but recentely I wanted to add a new field to my form. I seem to have successfully added the new field (phone number) but in doing so, its broken the gender value. 

 

Here's the actual form:

http://geekdomvancouver.com/register.html

 

and here's the PHP for the send.php file

 

 

<?php
 // CAPTCHA Code Start
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
  $privatekey = "6LcZZd4SAAAAAJ0QyQCCcfGpzOEjzZFybmIcvpB6";

                                $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
                                $_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
 
  if (!$resp->is_valid) {
    // What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
    die ("The reCAPTCHA wasn't entered correctly. Go back and try it again." .
         "(reCAPTCHA said: " . $resp->error . ")");
  } else {
  // CAPTCHA Code Finish
 
 // Submit Code Start 
 
  if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
     
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "info@torquemod.com";
    $email_subject = "Geekdom Registration";
     
     
    function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
        echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
        echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
        echo $error."<br /><br />";

        die();

It doesn't matter what I do, the form always returns "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. These errors appear below. Please specify your gender. Please go back and fix these errors."

 

I tried changing the gender from a drop down list to 2 radio buttons but that simply returns the same error without specifying what the actual problem is.

 

Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong? I'd rather not have to remove the gender field.

 

Thanks!

put a condition after post email?

[boompa]

$string_exp = "/^[0-9]{3}[0-9]{3}[0-9]{4}$/i";
  if(!preg_match($string_exp,$phone)) {

    $error_message .= 'The Phone Number you entered does not appear to be valid. Please enter only 10 numbers without - or spaces. Example: 7787787780 <br />';

  }

  if(strlen($city) < 2) {

    $error_message .= 'The City you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';

  }

  if(!preg_match($string_exp,$gender)) {

    $error_message .= 'Please specify your gender<br />';

  }

Do you really expect gender to contain a 10-digit number?

[TorQueMoD]

Ok, apologies if I wasn't clear before. I know virtually nothing about php. This send form was created using a generator that for some reason didn't want to take credit for its work cause I've been trying for days to find it again so I can just re-make the form but sadly I can't.

 

I have no idea what it means to put a condition after post mail nor how to do that and I also didn't realize that I was telling it to expect a 10 digit number after gender. Is there a way I can tell it to expect a drop down list for gender?

 

I'm guessing what happened is because I told it to expect a 10 digit number for the phone and then didn't re-specify what to expect for city and gender its looking for the same there? I'll have to figure out what the code is to tell it to expect a drop down list.

 

Thank you.

Ok so I fixed the problem. Thank you boompa for pointing out that gender was taking on the attributes of the phone number. I was able to fix the problem simply by specifying $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; for the gender and city.

 

Thank you.
