Hi everyone, Newbie here, curious to know what's going on with my script/form. Everything seems to be working perfectly except for my state dropdown/list. If the user does not enter a valid e-mail address, the form gives an alert message that is toggled in a div above the form, however the state drop down is then reset to "AL" the first of choices. The page does not "refresh" so I'm not really sure what's going on here. I tried a set selected value and a not set value but nothing changed. Code: Form: <form action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post" onsubmit="toggle_visibility('formalert');"> <strong>Business Name</strong><br> <input type="text" name="business_name" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $business_name;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errbn;} ?><br> <strong>Address</strong><br> <input type="text" name="address" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $address;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errad;} ?><br> <strong>Suite/Apt #</strong><br> <input type="text" name="suite" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $suite;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errsu;} ?><br> <strong>City</strong><br> <input type="text" name="city" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $city;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errci;} ?><br> <strong>State</strong><br> <select name="state" id="select"> <option value="AL">AL</option> <option value="AK">AK</option> <option value="AZ">AZ</option> <option value="AR">AR</option> <option value="CA">CA</option> <option value="CO">CO</option> <option value="CT">CT</option> <option value="DE">DE</option> <option value="DC">DC</option> <option value="FL">FL</option> <option value="GA">GA</option> <option value="HI">HI</option> <option value="ID">ID</option> <option value="IL">IL</option> <option value="IN">IN</option> <option value="IA">IA</option> <option value="KS">KS</option> <option value="KY">KY</option> <option value="LA">LA</option> <option value="ME">ME</option> <option value="MD">MD</option> <option value="MA">MA</option> <option value="MI">MI</option> <option value="MN">MN</option> <option value="MS">MS</option> <option value="MO">MO</option> <option value="MT">MT</option> <option value="NE">NE</option> <option value="NV">NV</option> <option value="NH">NH</option> <option value="NJ">NJ</option> <option value="NM">NM</option> <option value="NY">NY</option> <option value="NC">NC</option> <option value="ND">ND</option> <option value="OH">OH</option> <option value="OK">OK</option> <option value="OR">OR</option> <option value="PA">PA</option> <option value="RI">RI</option> <option value="SC">SC</option> <option value="SD">SD</option> <option value="TN">TN</option> <option value="TX">TX</option> <option value="UT">UT</option> <option value="VT">VT</option> <option value="VA">VA</option> <option value="WA">WA</option> <option value="WV">WV</option> <option value="WI">WI</option> <option value="WY">WY</option> </select><br><?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errst;} ?> </div> <div class="span4"> <strong>Zip Code</strong><br> <input type="text" name="zip" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $zip;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errzi;} ?><br> <strong>Phone Number</strong><br> <input type="text" name="phone" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $phone;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errph;} ?><br> <strong>Web Site</strong><br> <input type="text" name="web_site" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $web_site;} ?>" /> <br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errwe;} ?><br> <strong>E-Mail</strong><br> <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $email;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $erre;} ?><br> <strong>Pay Pal Transaction ID</strong><br> <input type="text" name="pay_pal" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $pay_pal;} ?>" /><br> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $errpa;} ?><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Script: <div id="formalert"> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ $business_name=$_POST['business_name']; $address=$_POST['address']; $suite=$_POST['suite']; $city=$_POST['city']; $state=$_POST['state']; $zip=$_POST['zip']; $phone=$_POST['phone']; $web_site=$_POST['web_site']; $email=$_POST['email']; $pay_pal=$_POST['pay_pal']; $to="myemail@domain.com"; $re="Scan Order"; $headers = "From: $email\r\n"; $msg = "$business_name, \r\n $address, \r\n $suite, \r\n $city, \r\n $state, \r\n $zip, \r\n $phone, \r\n $web_site, \r\n $email, \r\n $pay_pal"; if(!$business_name){ $errbn="Please enter a business name."; }else if(!$address){ $errad="Please enter an address."; }else if(!$city){ $errci="Please enter a city."; }else if(!$state){ $errst="Please enter a state."; }else if(!$zip){ $errzi="Please enter a zip code"; }else if(!$phone){ $errph="Please enter a phone number"; }else if(!$web_site){ $errwe="Please enter a web site"; }else if(!$email){ $erre="Please enter an email."; }else if(!$pay_pal){ $errpa="Please enter a Pay Pal Transaction ID"; }else{ $email = trim($email); $_ename = "/^[-!#$%&\'*+\\.\/0-9=?A-Z^_'{|}~]+"; $_host = "([0-9A-Z]+\.)+"; $_tlds = "([0-9A-Z]){2,4}$/i"; if ( !preg_match($_ename."@".$_host.$_tlds,$email)){ echo "<div class=\"alert alert-error\"> Sorry the e-mail address you entered is not valid.

Punch around on here and G and can't seem to find anything to point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance, Mel

Hi everyone - decided to go a different route but thanks for the feed back. Not sure whether to mark this solved or not...

- 5.0.96 - $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());} mysql_select_db('database');mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (emails, date) VALUES ('$_POST[email]', now())"); mysql_close($link) - no errors outputted - tried moving the code around some but nothing worked. I think it would work if I just threw it on a separate php page an changed the action on the form, but ideally I would like this all to work on one page, I don't want the page to refresh at all. Also, replaced the code with "username", "password" etc. Sorry for the lack of info, like I said I'm kind of new to this...

Hi all! I'm fairly new to php, don't really know the proper ins and outs but I'm learning. I'm stuck on two things. I have a simple form that submits an entered e-mail address to my email and also kicks back to a database. That part works, however, when ever I go to the page or hit the "submit" button it generates a blank row in the database. Also (problemo #2), the submit button should echo "Please enter your email" when the submit button is hit with nothing in the field, but it doesn't. I've pulled the code and put it on a new file and it works, maybe it's just something else I have on the page that's interfering? The form is same page, it echos below the e-mail input success or invalid e-mail. Using bootstrap if that helps at all. Here's the code: <form name="emailcapture" method="post" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>"> <input name="email" type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $email;} ?>" class="emailform"/> <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){echo $erre;} ?> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="btn"/><br><span class="formvalidate"><?php$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());} if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ $email=$_POST['email']; $to="myemail@email.com"; $re="Sign Up"; $msg = "$email"; $headers = "From: $email\r\n"; if(!$email){ $erre="Please enter your email."; }else{ $email = trim($email); $_ename = "/^[-!#$%&\'*+\\.\/0-9=?A-Z^_'{|}~]+"; $_host = "([0-9A-Z]+\.)+"; $_tlds = "([0-9A-Z]){2,4}$/i"; if ( !preg_match($_ename."@".$_host.$_tlds,$email)){ echo "Sorry, it appears the e-mail address you have entered is not valid, try again."; }else{ mail($to, $re, $msg, $headers); echo "Thank you. You have been added to our list and will be notified when we launch."; } } }mysql_select_db('database');mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (emails, date) VALUES ('$_POST[email]', now())"); mysql_close($link) ?></span> </form>
