Hi,
I am not a PHP programmer, but have used it a touch, enough to put in a contact form. However, I am trying to add a captcha field, which now works but the form does not validate it - so it submits no matter what
Can anybody help please? sorry if the code is messy and thanks in advance
code at the top of my page
[php]<?php
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])) {
//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST[‘name’]) == ‘’) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$name = trim($_POST[‘name’]);
}
//Check to make sure that the subject field is not empty
if(trim($_POST[‘subject’]) == ‘’) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$subject = trim($_POST[‘subject’]);
}
//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($POST[‘email’]) == ‘’) {
$hasError = true;
} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9.%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST[‘email’]))) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$email = trim($_POST[‘email’]);
}
//Check to make sure comments were entered
if(trim($_POST[‘message’]) == ‘’) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
if(function_exists(‘stripslashes’)) {
$message = stripslashes(trim($_POST[‘message’]));
} else {
$message = trim($_POST[‘message’]);
}
}
/captcha 2/
if(isset($_POST[“captcha”]))
if($_SESSION[“captcha”]==$_POST[“captcha”])
{
//CAPTHCA is valid; proceed the message: save to database, send by e-mail …
//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = ‘[email protected]’; //Put your own email address here
$emailTo = ‘[email protected]’; //Put your own email address here
$body = “Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nSubject: $subject \n\nMessage:\n $message”;
$headers = ‘From: SJB Projects website form <’.$emailTo.’>’ . “\r\n” . 'Reply-To: ’ . $email;
mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
else
{
echo ‘CAPTHCA is not valid; ignore submission’;
}
}
}
?> [/php]
Code in the form:
[php]<?php if(isset($hasError)) { //If errors are found ?>
<p class="error">Please check if you've filled all the fields with valid information. Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>Email Successfully Sent!</strong></p>
<p>Thank you <strong><?php echo $name;?></strong> for contacting SJB Projects. Your email was successfully sent and we will be in touch with you soon.</p>
