Show errormessage in a given url

[oaskedal]

Hi!

I'm almost satisfied with this mail validation. However, I need some help to get it all fixed. 🙂

How may I get the error text

    die("<h2>Sorry, there is $errcount faults in your form. Please correct these faults:</h2>" . $error); 

to be dislayed in my already established html-page error.htm (or perhaps I'll have to rename it error.php if I'll need some php-code to it..).

Here is my code:

<?php 

if($_POST['submit'])
   $errcount = 0; 
   $error = '';

{ //check to see if someone has filled out a form

//Validates the name 
if(preg_match('/^[a-zæøåÆØÅ_-]{2,}$/i', $_POST['navn'])){ 
    $navn = $_POST['navn'];     
} else { 
    $error .= "You didn't write a name!<br />"; 
    $errcount++;  
} 

{ //Validates the lastname 
    if(preg_match('/^[a-zæøåÆØÅ_-]{2,}$/i', $_POST['etternavn'])){ 
        $etternavn = $_POST['etternavn'];     

    } else { 
        $error .= "You didn't write a lastname!<br />"; 
        $errcount++;  

    }
    //validates telephonenumber
   if(preg_match('/^[0-9_-]{8,}$/i', $_POST['mobil'])){
        $mobil = $_POST['mobil'];
    } else {
        $error .= "You didn't write a telephonenumber!<br />";
       $errcount++;
}
    //Validate emailaddress
    if(preg_match('/^[\w]+[-\w._]*@[\w]+[-\w]+(\.[\w]+[-\w]+)*\.[\w]{2,6}$/ ', $_POST['email'])){ 
        $epost = $_POST['email']; 
    } else { 
        $error .= "You didn't write a correct email address!<br />"; 
        $errcount++;  

	}
	if (empty($_POST['melding'])) {
	    $error .= "You didn't write a message!<br />";
		$errcount++;;
	} else {
	    $_POST['melding'];
		}	

//Check if some errors are found
//if so, stop the script and display the following
if($errcount !=0){ 
    die("<h2>Sorry, there is $errcount faults in your form. Please correct these faults:</h2>" . $error); 
} 

else {


$emne = $_POST['emne']; 
$mailheaders = "From: " .$navn ." " .$etternavn ." <". $epost . ">\n";  
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: <". $epost . ">\n";  
$to = '[e-mail]';
$melding = $_POST['melding'];
$melding = "Fra: $navn $etternavn\nTelefon: $mobil\n\nMelding:\n$melding";

mail( $to, $emne, $melding, $mailheaders, '[e-mail]'); //Send Mail 
 {
  header ("Location: http://www.domain.no/thankyou.htm" );
 }

}     

}
} 

?> 


 

Anyone, please..:-) ?

Alright, so you have a form that you want checked for errors on submit, then you want this to forward the user onto an error page and display the error? Is that what you are asking?

Also have you noticed the undefined index and undefined variable errors?

[Naito]

Also, is there a reason why you need a seperate error page? Or can it just be dynamically produced and given to the person?

Hi!

First, thanks for answering;-)

Your correct. I'd like the error message produced by the script to display in my error.htm page (or error.php). When any errors occure the error page should display to the viewer, and the error message be into it. Kind of the same way the thankyou.htm does, but only with the error-result code in it.

Also, what do you mean by the undefined index and variable errors? Would you please specify a bit for me..?

I hope this wasn't to confusing...

Thanks again!

If there is an easy way to let the error code beeing implemented in my contactform it would have been really nice. But how do I get the code from the external script, and present it into the contactform page (contact.htm)...? Maybe displayed under/over/beside the form..?

Oyvind..
