simple contact form question

[forsakenmemory]

im building a contact form and the form works fine but i just want to tweak it alittle and i dont know quite how.

 

insted of sending the user to a seperate error.htm page i would just like for the error message to appear on the same page this way the user wont lose the information theyve alreay written.

 

ive commented what i what to do on the code..

 

<?php

$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "admin@webdesigndigital.com";
$Subject = "Design Enquiry";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Website = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Website'])); 
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject'])); 
$Enquiry = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Enquiry'])); 


$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Enquiry)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">"; <--  // I would like to be able to send this to a taget iframe on the 
  exit;                                                                                            // same page if possible. its probably simple i just dont know what it is. ???
}


$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Website: ";
$Body .= $Website;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Subject: ";
$Body .= $Subject;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Enquiry: ";
$Body .= $Enquiry;
$Body .= "\n";


$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");


if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=ok.htm\">";

First off your code is bloated, Whats up with all the trimming, anyway try this  (what version of php you on cause you write your code to like php 3)

<?php

$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom'])); 
$EmailTo = "admin@webdesigndigital.com";
$Subject = "Design Enquiry";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); 
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel'])); 
$Website = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Website'])); 
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject'])); 
$Enquiry = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Enquiry'])); 
$validationOK = "yes";
if(empty($EmailFrom) || empty($Name) || empty($Enquiry)){
$validationOK = "no";
}
if ($validationOK != "yes") {
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">"; 
// I would like to be able to send this to a taget iframe on the 
// same page if possible. its probably simple i just dont know what it is. ???
}
else{
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Website: ";
$Body .= $Website;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Subject: ";
$Body .= $Subject;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Enquiry: ";
$Body .= $Enquiry;
$Body .= "\n";
if(mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"){
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=ok.htm\">";
}
else{
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>

no sorry i think you misunderstood. i dont think i explained it very well i wrote some new code doing a different tutorial. in newer php.

 

i need the error message to appear in an iframe on the contact.html page above the contact form.

 

 

contact.php

 

<?php

$youremail = "admin@xxxxxxxxxxx.com";

$thankyou = "ok.htm";

;if($email == ""){
?>
// send to target frame on contact.html page "Please Enter Your Email"<br/>
<?php
;}elseif($name == ""){
?>
// send to target frame on contact.html page "Please Enter Your Name"<br/>
<?php
;}elseif($message == ""){
?>
// send to target frame on contact.html page "Please Enter Your Message"<br/>
<?php
;}else{

$msg = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $message);
$msg = ereg_replace('\\\"', "\"", $msg);
$message1 = "from: $name\nemail: $email\nmessage:\n$msg1";

mail($youremail, $subject, $msg, $tel, $name, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");
?>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=<?echo $thankyou;?>"">
<?php
}
?>

 

on this page the error message should appear

 

contact.html

 

	<table align=center border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="790" bgcolor="ffffff" bordercolorlight="#666666" bordercolordark="#808080">

		   <tr>
       		   	   <td width=220 valign=bottom>
                                   <blockquote>
       ERROR MESSAGE HERE ---------->  <iframe width="215" height="40" src="" scrolling="no" name="errormsg"> </iframe>					   
				   			   <form action="contact.php" method="post">
							   Name:
							   <input type="text" name="name"><br/>
							   Email addess:
							   <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
							   Tel:
							   <input type="text" name="tel"><br/>								   
							   Subject:
							   <input type="text" name="subject"><br/>
							   			   
			   	   </blockquote>	   
   				</td>
					 <td width="1">
					 	 <img src="../images/greygrad.gif" width="1" height="240" alt="webdesign" border="0"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" width="25" height="50" alt="web design" border="0"></td>
					 	 	  <td align=left valign=top>
						 	  	  <iframe width="420" height="250" src="contact_info.html" scrolling="no" name="frame1"></iframe>							 	 
					</td>						 
   			</tr>			
			<tr>
				<td valign=top colspan=3>
					<blockquote>
								Enquiry:<br/>
								<textarea name="message" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea><br/><br/>
								<input type="submit" value="Submit"><br/>
								</form>

					</blockquote>											
				</td>
			</tr>
	</table>

You need to use javascript if you are going to set the src of the iframe the header on page load, but why?

It's easier to put the logic around the iframe source itself:

if ($validationOK != "yes") {
   $iframeSrc = "error.htm">"; 
}else{
   $iframeSrc = "ok.htm\">"; 
}

// and then in the iframe:
?>
<iframe src="<?= $iframeSrc ?>">

could you give me an example in in the really early stages of learning this stuff! sorry
