BuildMyWeb Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 you have to validate that the $_POST['message'] field has what you want. i have the script exit() if there is an empty message value (nothing or zero) but you likely want to handle it better than this. <?php if(!$_POST) exit; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $email = $_POST['message']; if( empty($message) ) { exit('You need to provide a message!'); } //$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS'; if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){ $error.="Invalid email address entered"; $errors=1; } if($errors==1) echo $error; else{ $values = array ('name','email','message'); $required = array('name','email','message'); $your_email = "[email protected]"; $email_subject = "Allstate new message: ".$_POST['subject']; $email_content = "new message:\n"; foreach($values as $key => $value){ if(in_array($value,$required)){ if ($key != 'subject' ) { if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; } } $email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n"; } } if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) { echo 'Message sent!'; } else { echo 'ERROR!'; } } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292563-how-to-alter-mandatory-fields-in-a-form/#findComment-1497000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You could try removing 'message' from the $required array $required = array('name','email'); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292563-how-to-alter-mandatory-fields-in-a-form/#findComment-1497002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
