Hi - I am having a problem with some Php in relation to form validation/output.
I have been messing with the following coding for a while now and the thing that is bugging me, is the fact that no matter what I do I can't get the email (users email address) to show in the form results/output. I did have it at one point, but alas lost it somewhere along the way.
I know that it will be something silly, but in the end two heads are better than one.
As always, thanks.
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "myemail@sample.net (myemail@sample.net)";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$firstname = check_input($_POST['FirstName'], "First Name");
$lastname = check_input($_POST['LastName'], "Last Name");
$address = check_input($_POST['Address']);
$postcode = check_input($_POST['Postcode']);
$telephone = check_input($_POST['Telephone']);
$email = check_input($_POST['Email']);
/* If email is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
{
$email = '';
}
