Validation/Confirmation problem

shaggyman · #1 07-03-2006, 05:08 PM

I am trying to validate email, then move to a confirmation page when successfully submitted.
(Script is Pablo's on a PHP.)
Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
(Many hours spent- little hair remaining)

Home page is: http://www.spiritofpolyamory.org/index.html

Registration page is: http://www.spiritofpolyamory.org/registration.html

PHP process page: http://www.spiritofpolyamory.org/process123.php

Confirmation page is: http://www.spiritofpolyamory.org/confirmationpage,html

In testing live, an omitted email and submission yields a white page with no background and th following:

<BODY background="PAN_1024.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#FF0000" I believe that there is an error in the way you entered your E-mail address. Please check your entry and re-submit. Thank you!

A properly filled out and submitted form yields the error page with graphics, but the text is small and I get the following message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/spiryorg/public_html/process123.php:7) in /home/spiryorg/public_html/process123.php on line 134

Thanks!

Did you take the php script and put it in an html box or did you place it in the body tag in the "page html" ? I am thinking the later.

Was it my tutorial that you followed?

Please open the process123.php with note pad and copy and post the script that you used so we can take a look at it.

Yes it was that basic script, pasted into an HTML box.

Here is the script in it's entirety as on the page:

<?php
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
if (strlen($email) == 0)
{
echo "The E-mail field is a required entry. Please use the Back
Button to return to the form and enter a contact E-mail address.
Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (strlen($email) >= 45)
{
echo "The length limit for the E-Mail field cannot exceed 45
characters / spaces. Please use the Back Button to return to the
form and shorten this entry. Thank you!";
exit;
}
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+',
$email))
{
echo "I believe that there is an error in the way you entered your
E-mail address. Please check your entry and re-submit. Thank
you!";
exit;
}
//SEND MAIL
$mailto = "registration@spiritofpolyamory.org";
$mailsubj = "REGISTRATION";
$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: confirmation");
?>

The location at the end of the HTML code is actually
Location: confirmation
but the posting process named it....

It did it again, so I'll break it up:
Location:
http:
//www.
spiritofpolyamory.
org/confirmationpage,html

Read andy128 tutorial and all will become clear...see keith below

Or download the free email contact form(takes about 5 mins to install)
see below also.

The reason the confirmation page isn't coming up is because it should look like this in your script

header("Location: http://www.spiritofpolyamory.com/confirmationpage.html");

You had confirmationpage,html

More and better glasses.
Interesting, that shortcut- I copied it from Control Panel and pasted it in.
Thanks guys- a little massaging of file names and attributes and all is working like it should.
