Very simple feedback form, please help to the noob!

[cold.rain]

Hi all,

here my simple code:


<?php

$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['text'];
$comment = $_REQUEST['comment'];

mail( "mymail@xyz.xz", "Feedback Form",
$name, $comment, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: http://www.megawhite.au" );

?>


I need to check, if ALL of the fields are filled. If yes - then go to www.megawhite.. if NOT - to some other www.

I know, that it is somehow possible with "empty" command.. :rolleyes:

Can You put tags on the right way, please?

Thanx.

you can check if a variable is empty using if(empty($var1)) { ... } or alternatively: if(!$var1) { ... } which is the method I use.

so, how the whole code could look like?



if(!$name) && {!$email} && && {!$comment} are empty... etc.

$formHref = "/form.php"; //the location of your original form
$afterHref = "/thankyou.php" //the location of the "thank you" page or some such
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['text'];
$comment = $_REQUEST['comment'];

if(!$name || !$email || !$comment) {
echo "Please completely fill out the form";
header("Location: " . $formHref);
} else {
mail( "mymail@xyz.xz", "Feedback Form", $name, $comment, "From: $email" );
header( "Location: " . $afterHref );
}

thanx, this was really helpful.

i have used just the simple part, look what i have now:

if(!$name || !$email || !$comment) {

header("Location: http://www.xx.oo");
} else {
mail("xxx@xx.xx", "Feedback Form Results",
$name, $comment, "From: $email");
header("Location: http://www.xx.pp");
}

but - why it does not showing the correct sender's mail (the one he writes in "email" field)? it shows the mail, i have indicated in my hosting options.

the email will always come from the CGI mailer or whatever your servers mail() command tells to send the email. It won't show up as from someone else. I suppose that you could try and use a "Reply-to:" header somehow. It should display their email address within the email that is sent to your mailbox.
