Thread: Form Problem

I have a form that I created, it works fine. I set up the 2 text boxes for email and customer name to be filled out. These fields are set up so that information must be entered into this field or the form will not be sent. I checked off data required, text, and error message for both, yet the form can be submitted without that data. Any idea's on why this is happening.

Make sure that the email field is set to email
and make sure that no white spaces are in the field names as this tends to break the code.

the email is set to email, and there are no white spaces. It still does not work

One more step is required:

Click on your email field
select validate
select data type
choose email field.

also validate the name field..................

I did all that, and still does not work. I checked off all items that needed to be checked. This is really driving me nuts. It seems like it should be a easy matter. I've made forms before requiring fields to be completed and it works. Now I used the form wizard on this one, the other I just made the form.

Anymore idea's?

The FORM name cannot contain whitespaces.

Your form is named "Order Form". Make it "Order_form" or "Orderform" and it will work.

After saving / publishing, REFRESH your browser or it might display the old version (which will not work of course).

The form is named "upload" and there are no white spaces in there. At first is named it "photo upload", but realized that was not correct. Like I said the form works fine except it allows it to be submitted with requiring the customer to enter their name and email address.

I should have said FORM name......sorry for the slip, and thanks George......lol

As David and I stated, it is the FORM name that needs to NOT have whitespaces.
Now, your page is one word "upload", BUT the form name is two words, with a white space: "Order form"

Double click the form, and see for your self, in the very first field: Form Name : Order Form

That was it!!!!!!! Thanks for all your help, now it works fine.

After an hour of searching why my form wont validate the post from navaldesign solved my problem - space in the form name- THX ! - btw my first post here - GREAT TO BE HERE !

I have read through this thread, verified everything - no space in form name, etc.
Submitting the form never triggers the error page.
I think I have set-up properly the email field - data type: email address, data required, custom error - no custom error message combination.

The error page is never triggered.

There IS a space in the form name

Your form is named "Contact Us" . There IS a white space between the two words.

duh!

It was too obvious, I was digging too deep!

Thanks a lot!
problem solved!!

Hi there,

I'm kind of new here. Also I'm kind of new to PHP. I'm still learning.
I got a problem with a form I'm using.

If I filled it in and press the submit button it goed to a php page and stays there instead of going to the Thanx page.

I attached my html and php file.

Please help me out.
