[SOLVED] Can this exsiting code be modified to check fields have been filled in

[leet8845]

Hi there,

 

I sometimes get blank emails from contact form on my site. It happens when users click submit by mistake. My exsiting code doesnt check the fields have any content before sending the form.

 

I need to add some code to check that fields have been filled out on my form.

 

Does anyone know if its possible to add anything to exsiting code below to do this.

 

I'm mainly bothered that the fields just have some text, nothing more complex really.

 

Here's my code:

<?php

// Getformdataandcreateemail
$Email2="mail@mysite.co.uk";
$email=$_POST['Email']; 
$name=stripslashes($_POST['Name']);
$subject=stripslashes($_POST['Subject']);
$messagecont=stripslashes($_POST['Message']);
$message=
<<<EOD
--------------------------------
Enquiry from your website
--------------------------------

Name: $name
Subject: $subject
EmailAddress: $email
Message: $messagecont

--------------------------------
End of Message
--------------------------------
EOD;

//Sendemail
@mail($Email2,$subject,$message, "From:$Email2");
header("Location:thankyou.html");


?>

 

any help truly appreciated

Of course it possible. Just use conditionals to weed out empty fields.

<?php
// Check email is not empty
if (! empty ($_POST['Email']) )
{

// Getformdataandcreateemail
$Email2="mail@mysite.co.uk";
$email=$_POST['Email']; 
$name=stripslashes($_POST['Name']);
$subject=stripslashes($_POST['Subject']);
$messagecont=stripslashes($_POST['Message']);
$message=
<<<EOD
--------------------------------
Enquiry from your website
--------------------------------

Name: $name
Subject: $subject
EmailAddress: $email
Message: $messagecont

--------------------------------
End of Message
--------------------------------
EOD;

//Sendemail
@mail($Email2,$subject,$message, "From:$Email2");
header("Location:thankyou.html");

}
else
{
    // No email was sent
    header("Location:form.html");
}

?>

// Getformdataandcreateemail
$Email2 = "mail@mysite.co.uk";
$email = (isset($_POST['Email'])) ? $_POST['Email'] : die("Please enter a valid Email address");
$name = (isset($_POST['Name'])) ? stripslashes($_POST['Name']) : die("Please enter a \"From\" name");
$subject = (isset($_POST['Subject'])) ? stripslashes($_POST['Subject']) : die("Please enter a Subject for your message");
$messagecont = (isset($_POST['Message'])) ? stripslashes($_POST['Message']) : die("Please enter a message in the textbox");

 

Should help you out there.

Thanks for all your help.

 

Nakor the code you gave me works great, I studied it and was able to add the same for the other fields.

 

Thanks very very much
