[RESOLVED] Contact Form Issue

bulbul4u

Hey All!

Could someone please edit the below code so that message can only be sent from a valid email? The below code works even if someone enter ANYTHING in the email field.

<?php
  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;

  if (!isset($_REQUEST['email'])) {
    echo "Your email has been sent.";
  }
  elseif (empty($email) || empty($message)) {
    echo "You require to feel in both the email and message field.";
  }
  else {
    mail( "myemail@yahoo.com", "Feedback Form Results",
      $message, "From: $email" );
    echo "Thank you! Your message has been sent.";
  }
?>

if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === FALSE)
        {
   //not valid 
        }
else
        {
//valid address
        }

<body>
<h1>Contact US </h1>

<?php

//Check for form submission
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])){

//minimal form validaion
if (!empty($_POST['name']) &&
!empty($_POST['email']) &&
!empty($_POST['comments'])){

//create the body
$body = "Name:
{$_POST['name']}\n\nComments:
{$_POST['comments']}";

//make it no longer than 70 characters long:

$body = wordwrap($body, 70);

//send the email:
mail('myemail@yahoo.com',
'Contact Form Submission', $body,
"From: {$_POST['email']}");

//print a message:
echo '<p><em>Thank you for contacting us. We will reply some day.</em></p>';

//clear $_POST (so that the form's not sticky);
$_POST = array();

}else {
echo '<p style="font-weight: bold; color:#C00">Please fill out the form completely. </p>';

}

}//end the main isset()IF

//create the html form
?>

<p>Please fill out this form to contact us.</p>

<form action="email.php" method="post">

<p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" size="30" maxlength="60" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['name'])) echo $_POST['name']; ?>" /></p>
<p>Email: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" maxlength="80" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['email'])) echo $_POST['email']; ?>" /></p>

i could say my email address was "zoot" and it would pass your check, your original question said "valid email"
