lamboman Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Forms are not my strong point.Below I have the form and it works fine. I also have a validator script below that works as it is but I want to add the comment part to it and whatever I do it seems to not work.<form action="send_form_email.php" method="post"><div class="one_third first"><label for="first_name">Name <span>*</span></label><input type="text" name="first_name" id="first_name" value="" size="22" required></div><div class="one_third"><label for="email">Mail <span>*</span></label><input type="email" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" required></div><div class="block clear"><label for="comment">Your Comment</label><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="25" rows="10"></textarea></div><div><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset Form"></div></form><?phpif(isset($_POST['email'])) {// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED$email_to = "My email";$email_subject = "Inquiry from site";function died($error) {// your error code can go hereecho "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted.

ginerjm Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Where is the code to edit the comment value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamboman Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 i haven't added it in there yet, thats what im asking. I added it in in as: $email_from = $_POST['comment']; // required I just kept getting errors. I am assuming I have to add in this line but again no mater what I added I got an error if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) || !isset($_POST['email'])) {died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } But to be honest i dont really care about a validator on the comments. i dont really care if it gets filled, just need it to pass threw to e-mail. I also tried the following just to pass to e-mail without validation but it did not work. I may have added in the wrong place. $email_from = $_POST['comment']; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you want to discuss the comment field, put the code back in and show us the exact error message and maybe we can then help. Otherwise we're flying blind here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
