Hi guys,

I need it to send all the information inputted, to an email address.

$name=$email=$subject=$message=$error_message='';
$invalid_fields=array();
$required_fields=array('name','email','message');
$validated=array();
$to_address='admin@bravo-webspace.co.uk'; // your email address goes here
 
// validate $_POST array
if($_POST)>0) { // was something posted?
    foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { // loop through the $_POST array
  if(in_array($key,$required_fields) && empty($value)) {// check if a required field is empty
             // add that field to the $invalid_fields array
            array_push($invalid_fields,$key);
            // and append the error message to the $error_message variable
            $error_message.='<p>Please enter a'.(preg_match('/^[aeiouy]/',$key)?'n':'').' '.$key.'.</p>';

                        $error_message.='<p>Please enter a valid email.</p>';
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }
        // field is not in the $invalid_fields array?
        if(!in_array($key,$invalid_fields)) {
            // copy it to the $validated array
            $validated[$key]=htmlspecialchars($value);
        }
    }

Hi

PHP: Select all


if($_POST)>0) { // was something posted?

to

PHP: Select all


if($_POST >'0') { // was something posted?

dab42pat · #9 (**permalink**) Jan 21st, 2008, 23:34

try copying below code.

PHP: Select all


<?php
/****** PHP Form Mail *****/
 
// declare and initialize some variables
$name=$email=$subject=$message=$error_message='';
$invalid_fields=array();
$required_fields=array('name','email','message');
$validated=array();
$to_address='admin@bravo-webspace.co.uk'; // your email address goes here
 
// validate $_POST array
if($_POST ='0') { // was something posted?
   foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { // loop through the $_POST array
  if(in_array($key,$required_fields) && empty($value)) {// check if a required field is empty
             // add that field to the $invalid_fields array
            array_push($invalid_fields,$key);
            // and append the error message to the $error_message variable
            $error_message.='<p>Please enter a'.(preg_match('/^[aeiouy]/',$key)?'n':'').' '.$key.'.</p>';
        } else {
            switch($key) {
                case 'email': // validate email address format
                    if(!preg_match('/^([A-Z0-9._%-]+)@([A-Z0-9.-]+)\.([A-Z]{2,6})$/i',$value)) {
                        array_push($invalid_fields,'email');
                        $error_message.='<p>Please enter a valid email.</p>';
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }
        // field is not in the $invalid_fields array?
        if(!in_array($key,$invalid_fields)) {
            // copy it to the $validated array
            $validated[$key]=htmlspecialchars($value);
        }
    }
} else { // make everything invalid so that the form is outputted and not the thankyou message
    $invalid_fields=$required_fields;
}
 
?>

It is working for me.

PHP: Select all


<?php
/****** PHP Form Mail *****/
 
// declare and initialize some variables
$name=$email=$subject=$message=$error_message='';
$invalid_fields=array();
$required_fields=array('name','email','message');
$validated=array();
$to_address='admin@bravo-webspace.co.uk'; // your email address goes here
 
// validate $_POST array
if($_POST ='0') { // was something posted?
   foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { // loop through the $_POST array
  if(in_array($key,$required_fields) && empty($value)) {// check if a required field is empty
             // add that field to the $invalid_fields array
            array_push($invalid_fields,$key);
            // and append the error message to the $error_message variable
            $error_message.='<p>Please enter a'.(preg_match('/^[aeiouy]/',$key)?'n':'').' '.$key.'.</p>';
        } else {

                case 'email': // validate email address format
                    if(!preg_match('/^([A-Z0-9._%-]+)@([A-Z0-9.-]+)\.([A-Z]{2,6})$/i',$value)) {
                        array_push($invalid_fields,'email');
                        $error_message.='<p>Please enter a valid email.</p>';
                    }
                    break;
            }
        }
        // field is not in the $invalid_fields array?
        if(!in_array($key,$invalid_fields)) {
            // copy it to the $validated array
            $validated[$key]=htmlspecialchars($value);
        }
    }
} else { // make everything invalid so that the form is outputted and not the thankyou message
    $invalid_fields=$required_fields;
}
 
?>

Try replacing:

PHP: Select all


 switch($key) {
                    case 'email': // validate email address format
                        if(!preg_match('/^([A-Z0-9._%-]+)@([A-Z0-9.-]+)\.([A-Z]{2,6})$/i',$value)) {
                            array_push($invalid_fields,'email');
                            $error_message.='<p>Please enter a valid email.</p>';
                        }
                        break;
                }

with:

PHP: Select all



 if($key == 'email') { // validate email address format
                        if(!preg_match('/^([A-Z0-9._%-]+)@([A-Z0-9.-]+)\.([A-Z]{2,6})$/i',$value)) {
                            array_push($invalid_fields,'email');
                            $error_message.='<p>Please enter a valid email.</p>';
                        }
                }
