Help with PHP submit form

A.J. Angel · 2010-05-05, 09:14 PM

Hello, I have a problem that I think any experienced PHP coders may solve quickly and easily.

I have found a working contact/submit form tutorial that provided coding which I modified to the following to suit my purpose, in this case, let models request their addition to my site by submitting their informations:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */

$name = check_input($_POST['name'], "Please enter your name.");

$birthname = check_input($_POST['birthname']);

$alias = check_input($_POST['alias']);

$dateofbirth = check_input($_POST['dateofbirth']);

$placeofbirth = check_input($_POST['placeofbirth']);

$ethnicity = check_input($_POST['ethnicity']);

$height = check_input($_POST['height']);

$weight = check_input($_POST['weight']);

$haircolor = check_input($_POST['haircolor']);

$eyecolor = check_input($_POST['eyecolor']);

$measurements = check_input($_POST['measurements']);

$piercings = check_input($_POST['piercings']);

$tattoos = check_input($_POST['tattoos']);

$officialsite = check_input($_POST['officialsite']);

$store = check_input($_POST['store']);

$auction = check_input($_POST['auction']);

$blog = check_input($_POST['blog']);

$messageboard = check_input($_POST['messageboard']);

$facebook = check_input($_POST['facebook']);

$myspace = check_input($_POST['myspace']);

$twitter = check_input($_POST['twitter']);

$email = check_input($_POST['email'], "Please enter your e-mail address.");



/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */

if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))

{

    show_error("Please enter a valid e-mail address.");

}



/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */

if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $officialsite))

{

    $officialsite = '';

}



/* Let's prepare the message for the e-mail */

$message = "Hello,



A new model has requested to be added on Exquisite Angelz.



Name: $name

Birth Name: $birthname

Alias(es): $alias

Date Of Birth: $dateofbirth

Place Of Birth: $placeofbirth

Ethnicity: $ethnicity

Height: $height

Weight: $weight

Hair Color: $haircolor

Eye Color: $eyecolor

Measurements: $measurements

Piercing(s): $piercings

Tattoo(s): $tattoos



Official Site(s): $officialsite

Store(s): $store

Auction(s): $auction

Blog(s): $blog

Message Board(s): $messageboard

Facebook: $facebook

Twitter: $twitter



E-Mail Address: $email



Kind Regards,

A.J. Angel



Exquisite Angelz

http://www.exquisiteangelz.com/

webmaster@exquisiteangelz.com

";



/* Send the message using mail() function */

mail("webmaster@exquisiteangelz.com", "New Model: $name", "$message");



/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */

header('Location: index-beta.php');

exit();



/* Functions we used */

function check_input($data, $problem='')

{

    $data = trim($data);

    $data = stripslashes($data);

    $data = htmlspecialchars($data);

    if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)

    {

        show_error($problem);

    }

    return $data;

}



function show_error($myError)

{

?>

    <html>

    <body>



    <b>Please correct the following error:</b><br />

    <?php echo $myError; ?>



    </body>

    </html>

<?php

exit();

}

?>

Although the script works, unfortunately for me, the errors are not displayed on the same page as the form. I tried to replace the HTML code included with my own HTML code for the contact form page but it doesn't work because the errors would be automatically displayed anyway.

Therefore, I wish to ask if there is someone good with PHP who would be kind enough to provide me the correct code to have a script page where a model can submit her informations and if there are errors, the errors are displayed on the same page similarly to what occurs on linklist scripts submission forms. Thank you!!!

If it is of any help, here is the form for models to submit their informations:

Code:
