Hey all,
Before I state my problem, I would like to tell you want i’m doing. First of all i built a form for the users to enter their name, email, etc with security and form validation. Everything is working good because i receive the date to my email. However when a user just his or her name the system doesn’t return the appropriate error. Example ‘You forgot to enter your email.’ To be more specific, the form doesn’t validates.
Here is the code:
<?php
$page_title = 'Register';
include ('./includes/header.html');
function safe($string)
{
$pattern = "/\r|
|\%0a|\%0d|Content\-Type:|bcc:|to:|cc:/i";
return preg_replace($pattern, '', $string);
}
$emailPattern = '/^[^@\s]+@([-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,}$/i';
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
if ( preg_match($emailPattern, $_POST['email'] ))
{
$to = "atlnycdude23@gmail.com";
$subject = "Test Form";
$errors = array();
if (empty( $_POST['name']))
{
$errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your name.';
$name = FALSE;
} else {
$name = safe ($_POST['name']);
}
if (empty( $_POST['email']))
{
$errors[] = 'You forgot to enter your email.';
$email = FALSE;
} else {
$email = safe ($_POST['email']);
}
if (empty($errors)) {
}
$headers = "From: ". $name . "<" . $email. ">
";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $email . "
";
$headers .= "Return-path: ". $email;
$message = "Name: " . $name;
$message .= "
Email: " . $email;
$message .= "
Movies: " . $movies;
$message .= "
Gender: " . $gender;
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers))
{
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Thank you!</h1>
<p>You are now registered. An email has been sent to your email address confirming the information.</p><p><br /></p>';
} else {
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Error!</h1>
<p class="error">The following
error(s) occurred:<br />';
foreach ($errors as $msg) {
echo " - $msg<br />
";
}
echo '</p><p>Please go back and try
again.</p><p><br /></p>';
}
}
} else {
?>
<h2>Register</h2>
<form action="register.php" method="post">
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" size"20" maxlength="40" /></p>
<p>Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size"20" maxlength="40" /></p>
<p><b>Movies:</b>

<p><input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
</form>
<?php
}
include ('./includes/footer.html');
?>
Thanks in advance.
