Hi,
I created an order form in php but I need to add validation to the form field e-mail.
I tried to add
// Check format email
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$emailErr = “Invalid email format”;
}To the php code but I don’t succeed in making this work.
The code I have in the 3-process.php file in which I connect to the database and save order in the database is:
<?php
// (A) PROCESS RESULT
$result = "";
// (B) CONNECT TO DATABASE - CHANGE SETTINGS TO YOUR OWN!
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "dbname";
$dbchar = "utf8";
$dbuser = "user";
$dbpass = "pword";
try {
$pdo = new PDO(
"mysql:host=$dbhost;dbname=$dbname;charset=$dbchar",
$dbuser,
$dbpass,
[PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION]
);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
$result = $ex->getMessage();
}
// (C) SAVE ORDER TO DATABASE
if ($result == "") {
try {
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO `orders` (`name`, `adres`, `postcode`, `woonplaats`, `email`, `qty1`, `qty2`, `qty3`) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->execute([$_POST["name"], $_POST["adres"], $_POST["postcode"], $_POST["woonplaats"], $_POST["email"], $_POST["qty1"], $_POST["qty2"], $_POST["qty3"]]);
} catch (Exception $ex) {
$result = $ex->getMessage();
}
}
// (D) SEND ORDER VIA EMAIL
if ($result == "") {
$to = $_POST["[email protected]"];
$subject = "Order ontvangen";
$message = "";
foreach ($_POST as $k => $v) {
$message .= "$k - $v\r\n";
}
if (!@mail($to, $subject, $message)) {
$result = "Error sending mail!";
}
}
And in the order form I put:
<body>
<?php include "./includes/topnav.html" ?>
<h1> <?= PROJECT_NAME ?></h1>
<?php
// (A) PROCESS ORDER FORM
if (isset($_POST["name"])) {
require "3-process.php";
header('Location: thankyou.php');
}
?>
<!-- (B) ORDER FORM -->I hope somebody could help me with this, I’ve been struggeling for days!
