philosophology

What is wrong here? I keep getting the try again page! I have php 4.4.2 on the server. and this doesn't work. could someone please test it and tell me what is wrong?

<?php 

function emailValidate($email) {
  $parts = explode("@", $email);
  if (count($parts)!=2) {
    return false;
  }
  if (checkdnsrr($parts[1])) {
    if (!preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z]+[a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$/', $parts[0])) {
      return false;
    }
  } else {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

function emailsTheSame($email,$email2){
	if ($email==$email2) return true;
	else return false;
}

if ($name=="" or $email=="" or $how=="" or $rate=="" or $qc=="" or emailsTheSame($email,$email2)==false or emailValidate($email)==false) 
{ 
	echo '
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

';  } 
else { 
$to = "to@to.com"; 
$from = "FeedbackPage"; 
$subject = "quality check"; 
$message = "Name: "."$name\n"."Email: "."$email\n"."Reffered by: "."$how\n"."Rating: "."$rate\n"."Questions or comments: "."$qc\n";  

mail($to, $subject, $message,"From: $from"); 
echo '

I've read that many times the checkdnsrr() function does not work properly unless you append a '.' at the end.

Also, could you add the following line before the If statement so we can see what the variable values are:

echo "Name='$name'<br />";
echo "Email = '$email'<br />";
echo "Rate = '$how'<br />";
echo "QC = '$qc'<br />";
echo "Email test = emailsTheSame($email,$email2)<br />";
echo "Email validation = emailValidate($email)<br />";

Thanks....

I found out that nothing is getting passed to the form! not with get and not post.

Name=
Email =
Rate =
QC =
Email test = emailsTheSame(,)
Email validation = emailValidate()

<?php 

function emailValidate($email) {  

        if(preg_match('/^\w[-.\w]*@(\w[-._\w]*\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}.*)$/', $email, $matches))
        {
            if(function_exists('checkdnsrr'))
            {
                if(checkdnsrr($matches[1] . '.', 'MX')) return true;
                if(checkdnsrr($matches[1] . '.', 'A')) return true;
            }else{
                if(!empty($hostName))
                {
                    if( $recType == '' ) $recType = "MX";
                    exec("nslookup -type=$recType $hostName", $result);
                    foreach ($result as $line)
                    {
                        if(eregi("^$hostName",$line))
                        {
                            return true;
                        }
                    }
                    return false;
                }
                return false;
            }
        }
        return false;
}

function emailsTheSame($email,$email2){
	if ($email==$email2) return true;
	else return false;
}

echo "Name=$name<br />";
echo "Email = $email<br />";
echo "Rate = $how<br />";
echo "QC = $qc<br />";
echo "Email test = emailsTheSame($email,$email2)<br />";
echo "Email validation = emailValidate($email)<br />";

ahh...

try this to see your post variables :

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>"

put that above the echo statements you just inserted... I 'assumed' that when you were checking for the variables, that you had already defined them to equal the post variables. So let's see if you are getting POST info.. then we can convert them to the variables in your 'If' statement.

I wasn't getting the post variables!
They funny thing is that the scripts worked before! Anyways... it's fixed now. Thank you all.
