$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "me@mydomain.ca";
$mailsubj = "Inquiry form Contact Us";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Customer Inquiry from Contact Us page:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";

I couldn't see your email on your site, but if you let me know it, I'll send you one of mine, that Naval did for me. You can then check line for line what you need. Would that help?

Yeah, it's a big form but the validation is only on the email addresses and contact (I think), thought maybe you could work it out. If not Naval or another expert will be along shortly. Hang on in there...

I made email error page and name error page with this script from naval from another thread, but no luck


<?PHP

@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$name = addslashes($_POST['name']);

// Validation for empty fields
if (strlen($email) == 0 )
{
header("Location: http://www.atexflooring.ca/email_errorpage.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($name) == 0 )
{
header("Location: http://www.atexflooring.ca/name_errorpage.html");
exit;
}

$mailto = "mike@atexflooring.ca";
$mailsubj = "Contact Us";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>



I keep getting this error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/xxxxx/public_html/feedback.php:7) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/feedback.php on line 105


Helpppppppp

YIKES!!! I'm not that good at it either. I tried doing it myself a couple of weeks ago and messed it up royal. I think I should leave now and forget I ever helped you. Lol! You need expert help. Naval or someone else who understands it will be along soon - hold on in there. Sorry!

Thnx for trying Amanda. I Aprecaite your effort.

Mike

Where are all the experts???

mike,
Its a jungle.......
.
here is the simplest one that actually works.......
1 contact.bvp form
1 contact.php file (ftp to main directory)
3 error type .bvp forms.
1 confirm.bvp form
.
<?PHP
@$name = addslashes($_POST['name']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$comments = addslashes($_POST['comments']);
if (strlen($name) == 0 )
{
header("Location: nameerror.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) == 0 )
{
header("Location: emailerror.html");
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+', $email))
{
header("Location: emailerror.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($comments) == 0 )
{
header("Location: http://mvpalma1.com/sales/commenterror.html");
exit;
}
$mailto = "admin@mvtinia.com"; change this to your email
$mailsubj = "Feedback from mvpalma1 form";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
header("Location: http://mvpalma1.com/confirm.html");
?>

see them working at either of my 2 sites below...

Thnx alot David, I appreciate your help
I did as you mentioned and it seemed to work right away, then i'm not sure what i did, but the problem I'm having now is it keeps redircting me to http://www.atexflooring.ca/www.atexflooring.ca/nameerror.html
http://www.atexflooring.ca/www.atexflooring.ca/emailerror.html
I can't get it to just go to www.atexflooring.ca/nameerror.html or www.atexflooring.ca/emailerror.html
it keeps going twice www.mydomain/error/www.mydomain/error
I checked the script over and over. I have no idea why it's doing that
The confirmation page is working but not the error pages due to links.

I just wanted to do name and email for required fields...Can you check this for errors plz

<?PHP
@$name = addslashes($_POST['name']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
if (strlen($name) == 0 )
{
header("Location: www.atexflooring.ca/nameerror.html");
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) == 0 )
{
header("Location: www.atexflooring.ca/emailerror.html");
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+', $email))
{
header("Location: www.atexflooring.ca/emailerror.html");
exit;
}
$mailto = "mike@atexflooring.ca";
$mailsubj = "Feedback from atex flooring form";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Customer inquiry from contact us:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
header("Location: http://atexflooring.ca/confirm.html");
?>

Mike,
Just went to your site and tested both fields with and without values
and both are working FINE.......
Did you get my two emails ???

btw: the back buttons are fine on your error pages
but I dont think its required on your confirmation page as you have your
menu buttons available.......

enjoy

we must have crossed in the writing......

Thnx David

The confirmation page, I wanted that page to appear for few seconds and go back on its own to the previous page without the visitor having to click back or anything, but I'll settle for this.

I got your emails. Thnx for testing out the form.
