Table Based Order Form That Can Email Text Entered?
I have a custom order form that I collaborated on with a friend who knows php. The form needs updated and the code we put together is hard for me to read and update. I think the form can be refined or rewritten in a more OOP way and hopefully as sematic as possible. The Form is for entering ready made frames. The Choices are color and size. Here is what I need to do: Enter Name, Email, Store Number, Comments Etc.Create a table based form where users can only enter numbers in each text field.Upon completion, agreement, and submission of the order an html email is kicked to our inbox. The table remains as it was on the website due to html and a separate print css file. Code:
Validate Text Field
This is very simple in javascript but I can't seem to find the exact solution in php. I have searched the forum but couldn't find my exact example. I have "page1.php" with a <form> that includes one text field and a submit button. Once submitted the data in the text field would be entered into the DB. I want to make sure that before the <form> is submitted that there has been some data entered into the text field. I have seen the function --- empty() and I have also seen if (!$textfieldName) all coupled with <? PHP_SELF ?> in the action field of the <form> but it just doesn't seem to work for me. I think that it doesn't work because the page that I am entering data in the text field is also inserting data to the DB from a previous page and the <? PHP_SELF ?> is conflicting with this----(Just speculating).....I don't know I am kinda stumped.
Code Review: Does This Class Method Really Validate An Email Address?
I wrote a method that should check if an email address is valid. In another method I've already checked to see if $_POST['email'] exists and is well-formed, so those checks are not necessary in this scope. However, "Step 4" bothers me, and I wonder if others are as bothered as I am. [PHP] /** * Validate submitted email * * @access private * @see checkdnsrr * @link http://www.devshed.com/c/a/PHP/Email-Address-Verification-with-PHP/4/ * @see link regarding use of getmxerr() as a double-check behind checkdnsrr * @link http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php * @see link regarding usage of fsockopen() for domain reachability verification */ function &validateEmail() {// STATIC VOID METHOD global $webmasterEmail; list($user, $domain) = @explode('@', $_POST['email']); if ($this->isValid && (!$user || !$domain)) { $this->isValid = false; $this->setErrorArray(array('email' => 'No validly formed email address was found')); } // STEP 1: USE checkdnsrr (either built-in UNIX version or "homegrown" version in client functions.inc.php for Windows) if ($this->isValid && !checkdnsrr($domain) && !$_ENV['windir'] && !$_SERVER['windir']) { // ONLY PRODUCE AN ERROR IF NOT IN WINDOWS ELSE ALLOW getmxrr() TO THROW ERROR $this->isValid = false; $this->setErrorArray(array('email' => "Domain: "$domain" not found to exist for email address to be valid")); } // STEP 2: MAKE SURE $domain IS NOT OUR DOMAIN if ($this->isValid && strcmp(trim($domain), preg_replace('/^([w]{3}[a-zA-Z0-9]*).?([a-zA-Z0-9-_.]+)$/i', '$2', $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) == 0) { $this->isValid = false; $this->setErrorArray(array('email' => "You are not allowed to use our domain of "$domain" for your email address")); } // STEP 3: USE getmxrr() BUILT-IN PHP FUNCTION TO DOUBLE-CHECK BEHIND STEPS 1 AND 2 if ($this->isValid && @!getmxrr($domain, $hostArray)) { $this->isValid = false; $this->setErrorArray(array('email' => "Domain: "$domain" is not found to exist for the email address to be valid")); } // STEP 4: VERIFY VIA fsockopen() IF YOU CAN EVEN REACH THAT DOMAIN, MEANING IT'S ACTIVE (COULD ALSO BE DOWN OR UNREACHABLE OR BOGUS) if ($this->isValid) { $socketID = @fsockopen($domain, 25, $errno, $error, 15);// LAST NUMBER IS TIMEOUT FEATURE - TIMEOUT AFTER 15 SECS if (!$socketID) { $msg = "There was a problem attempting to connect to "$domain": " .. nl2br($error) .

Validate A Form
This form will have infinite amount of users loaded into for when we need to take attendance at meetings. How can you validate could for each of these radio groups when you are unsure of how many there will be because the amount of members can grow and shrink with time? Once this is validated, I would like to Insert the user id, member id , and attendance into a table. I do not yet understand how to validate this code and create an insert sql statement that will take into account that in week it may have 100 members but next time it may have 200, for example. Code:

Form Validate Against MySQL Data
Was just wondering where you would start if you wanted to validate against MySQL data. In this case, validate a username and password from a form against a username and password in a MySQL database. Also, how do you make it so that when you have a 'password' form field on a document, the letters don't show up? It shows up as *****.. is that some type of encryption?? One more thing, how would I go about 'turning off' or 'closing down' a sign-up page once the sign-ups have reached 32 users?
How To Validate Contact Form Fields?
I was just wondering how to make my contact form recognize if the user has actually entered any information into the fields. Right now if the user just clicks submit then an email will be sent to me without them having to enter any info into the fields.. Please can someone tell me how to prevent this? I would also like to know how I can filter the message field from letting the user enter in profanity? Code:
Eregi Validate Some Form Fields.
I'm working with eregi to validate some form fields I dont understand what this stuff means. "eregi('^[a-z]{2,30}$', $name)" Can someone break this stuff down "^[a-z]{2,30}$" so I can understand it.
Strpos To Validate A Form Field
I am trying to validate a form field. I have provided an example below. Basically I want to check that 'a' ($findme) is the 1st and 2nd character in the string (0 and 1 position). <?php $mystring = 'aakjhabc' $findme = 'a' $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); // Note our use of ===. Simply == would not work as expected // because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character. if ($pos === 0) { echo "The string '$findme' is the $pos digit"; } else { echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'"; echo " and exists at position $pos"; } ?> I am wondering, can strpos be used to find the specific character more than once in the string? As you see above, the 'aa' is the first 2 characters in the string. $pos equals 0 because it finds the first 'a' in the string, and I guess it doesn't look for the 2nd 'a'? If strpos can't be used for what I want, what other method can I use? I'd like to keep it in an IF statement and relatively simple. Any help much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Form Validate, But User Doesnt Have To Retype
currently i have a form, and when users click on the submit button, the contents get validated, and if there is a mistake, the user is brought back to the form page. What i want is to free the user from having to retype the sections that they got correct, and only retype the sections that are wrong. I am thinking of getting the form to send the content to my validation page, and back to itself $PHP_SELF so that if there is an error, the message will still display. Is this the correct way to do it? Code:

Keep Text In Text Boxes After Form Is Rewritten
I'm trying to make a form that does the following: (1) the user answers a question by typing in a text box (2) a response is then written below the form, saying whether the answer is right or wrong and, perhaps making a comment of some kind (3) the user's answer remains visible in the original text box I've managed to write some code that does the first two things, but despite many attempts and much searching for code examples, I've failed to find a way of getting the answer to reappear in the text box when the page is rewritten. This is my code:
Email To Email Information Form

Plain Text Email
I'm wanting to protect all inputs for sending a plain text email, in a common routine. Have just found POSIX [:print:] which I thought looked useful. I didn't want to use htmlentities(); because it's a plain text email. Would this protect me from anyone sending spam though this? $raw = stripslashes($raw); $raw = preg_replace("/(content-type|bcc:|cc:|onload|onclick)/i", "DELETED", $raw); $raw = strip_tags($raw); $raw = preg_replace("/[^[:print:]]/", " ", $raw); $raw = substr($raw, 0, 500); $raw = trim($raw); Or, should I use: $raw = htmlentities($raw, ENT_NOQUOTES); The email address would obviously be different. This would cover just the name, subject and message. I don't need newlines etc.
Email Box - Text Editor

How To Read HTML Email Text?
I've done a couple of hours web-searching without turning up many answers so far, and I guess I could figure it out (eventually) from the MIME format, but here goes with my question... I don't have any problems reading text emails, but can anybody direct me to some PHP source code that will read (the text inside) an HTML email, specifically the "From", "Subject" and especially the message body? I would like the code to be able to differentiate between (i.e. know that it is) a text or an HTML email, and I would like the code to ignore any attachments. I don't expect the incoming email to have any (or large) attachments, but I hope that any code samples can handle the possible case of big attachments coming along for the ride. Incidentally, if I did (not this time) want to handle large attachments, can PHP and/or servers handle megabytes of data being read into a string variable through fread()? I'm just getting into this stuff, and not sure of what areas would be a resource and/or performance hog.
All Text Email - How Do You Add Line-breaks?

Conditional Email Text To Hyperlink
I am trying to write a content management section for a web site. I have managed so far to use htmlarea to give users a basic, but user friendly interface by which to edit the page content. The user can add emails by symply typing john@example.com - IE automatically converts this to a hyperlink. The trouble is sometimes the users use plain text. I have been using the following line to convert plain text to a hyperlink: $pagetext=ereg_replace('[A-Za-z0-9_]([-._]?[A-Za-z0-9])*@[A-Za-z0-9]([-.]?[A-Za-z0-9])*.[A-Za-z]+', '<a href="mailto: ?subject=Email%20from%20web%20site"> </a> ', $pagetext); This works well - BUT it completely screws up any existing hyperlinks. Is there a way to convert the plain text email address in to a hyperlink only if it is NOT part of a hyperlink. Basically I need some way of checking * If it's plain text > convert to a hyperlink * If it's already an email hyperlink leave it alone. I have tried looking up and testing everything I can think of - but am finally asking around before I go mad.
Displaying Text/html In Web POP Email
is it possible that message from web POP mail ( through sockets) appears as html (or text) if it is sent as html, not to appear like source file of the html document? I use web POP mail which is not mine and it displays without problem emails sent as text/plain but shows complete source with all tags if the email is sent as text/html, in other words, it´s useless and very hard to read for user.

Complicated Email Parse Or Text Extraction And Database Insertion
I am trying to strip some data out of numerous emails and place it in my database. I know that this seems as if it has been done before. But, this is a little different. First, the numerous emails all have a set of data that needs to be extracted and inserted into the database. Some of the data in the email is id, name, address, city, state, zip, company, etc. The catch is that the date is formated and presented differently in each email. Take into consideration the following email examples: - excert from email #1 ID:.............. 12345 Name:............ JOHN DOE Address:......... PO BOX 9999 City:............ Somecity State:........... CA Zip Code:........ 90210 ....

PHP Form To Email With Validation
I have form that once you have pressed the submit button will validate 3 * fields to check if they have been entered in correctly. If the have errors it will not process the form to email and instead display the errors and tell the user to amend the error fields before it can be processed. My problem is that i have tested the validation and works to a certain standard my only PROBLEM is that if there is an error in the form it wipes the whole form clear so ultimately the user will lose everything they have entered. I do not want this happening, much like other forms on websites i have used it still displays the form as you entered it and so you can ammend the error fields and start again making sure everything is correct and processed properly. PHP Code:
Send Form To Email In Url
I need to know how I can have a form sent to an email that is in a URL. For example: If I have a site with a form that has First Name: Last Name: Email: Phone: in it, and a person goes to www.test.com/?email@emailaddress.com (or something like that)then I need the form results to go to that email address in the URL. If a different person has a person go to the same URL but uses a different email address, then the results of the form need to go to that email address. I also want it to send it without opening up a seperate email program (outlook, etc.)
