But right now just checking for validation, when I added that in above my email functions and everything it started to give me an error. Any advice, thanks.

businessman332211@hotmail.com Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 SOLVED, I changed the code around a bit and it worked fine, thanksI played with it some, this is how my php code looks now <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>ideasandsubmissionsprocessor.php</title></head><body><?phpif ($_POST['firstname'] == ""){print("You have not correctly filled out the First name. Please hit back and fix the errors");}if ($_POST['emailaddress'] == ""){print("You have not correctly filled in the first name. Please hit back and fix the errors");}if ($_POST['verifyemail'] == ""){print("You have not correctly filled in the verify email field. Please hit back and fix the errors");}if ($_POST['description'] == ""){print("You have not correctly filled int he verify email field. Please hit the back and fix the errors");}?><?php$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];$emailaddress = $_POST['emailaddress'];$verifyemail = $_POST['verifyemail'];$description = $_POST['description'];$to = "businessman332211@hotmail.com";$subject = "ideas and submissions";$message = "First Name: $firstnameEmail Address: $emailaddressVerify Email: $verifyemailDescription: $description";if(mail($to, $subject, $message)) {print("Thank you for submitting your email has been successfully sent");print("<br />Return to the homepage at <a href='http://www.freelancebusinessman.com'>Freelance Businessman</a>");}else{print("I am sorry but there was some sort of error and the email could not be sent");print("<br />I am not totally sure of the cause of this error.");print("<br />Please return to <a href='http://www.freelancebusinessman.com'>Freelance Businessman</a>");print("<br />If you try again and recieve this error message a second time, then please email me at the original email address and notify me of this error, so it can be checked into. Thank you for visiting Freelance Businessman.");}?></body></html> now it is checking it right, and validating it right, but it also sends the email even if the fields fail, I don't understand how to get it to work through the process correctly, I will keep playing with it, maybe I can figure out something, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

reportingsjr Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The basic error codes can actually help you alot. This one says that there is an isset() but it is missing a '(' by it.. So it cant be parsed. I always manage to get these when coding . I have no clue waht the T_ is for but its always there. this happens with ';' ',' and like a hundred other things. Very useful... Also, please look over your code and search around on google or yahoo to see if something is wrong before you post here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skym Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I believe T_ is for "token":http://ro2.php.net/manual/en/tokens.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
