Simple Form Problem	View Content

Hi!

I am not great at using php but do use it to process forms on websites. I always use the same script and just change the relevant sections for each website. This usually works with no problems.

I am writing an mailing list subscribe/unsubscribe form my website and it works fine as in I get the email sent through with all the information on it and the automated reply gets sent out etc. The problem is that once the user hits Submit instead of going to the redirect page it stays on the php page.

if($from == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($name == '') {print "You have not entered a company name, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: http://www.hillsideweb.co.uk/unsubthanks.html" );}

Like I say this exact script works on another site of mine perfectly well, can someone please help me solve this.
The form is found on http://www.hillsideweb.co.uk/unsubscribe.html

I hope this makes sense!
Many thanks

Simple Problem: Php Form Ints Not Declared

Newb here trying to build a form that works with ints to count how many red shirts die in a classic episode of star trek (exercise to get better with forms and ints). I have an error which reads as '7 Error message: Undefined index: rsTot'. I have tried a few things and read that setting it(casting it?) as a float was the safest way to work with the int, however each thing i've attempted results in some sort of error so after a day of reading and trying i'm very confused and hoping for an answer I can understand here. I have read through stackOverflow for an answer but not seen one which i can understand and apply that speaks to the problem i'm having of initially entering and process a number as an int which i can later do some math on. error can be seen he http://zephir.seattlecentral.edu/~jstein11/itc250/z14/w03c0102_OOPform/w03c0102_OOPform.php

Hey everyone. I hope you can help me getting through this problem, because I have no idea of what else to try. I'm a web designer and sometimes modify Javascript, but my main focus is HTML and CSS, meaning I have no idea how to code in Javascript, but most importantly, how to write something from scratch in PHP.

So I designed a form that works pretty well, and integrated a PHP and Javascript script to make it work. This is the form:

Code: [Select]
<form name="form" id="form" method="post" action="contact.php">
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>My name is <input type="text" name="name">, from <input type="text" name="location">, and I'd like to get in touch with you for the following purpose:</p>
<p><textarea name="message" rows="10" ></textarea></p>
<p>By the way, my email address is <input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="john@doe.com">, and I can prove I'm not a robot because I know the sky is <input type="text" name="code" placeholder="Red, green or blue?">.</p>
<p title="Send this message."><input type="submit" id="submit" value="Take care."></p>
</form>
And this is the script, in an external file called contact.php:

Code: [Select]
<?php
  $name = check_input($_REQUEST['name'], "Please enter your name.") ;
  $location = check_input($_REQUEST['location']) ;
  $message = check_input($_REQUEST['message'], "Please write a message.") ;
  $email = check_input($_REQUEST['email'], "Please enter a valid email address.") ;
  if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\@[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/",$email)) {die("E-mail address not valid");}
  if (strtolower($_POST['code']) != 'blue') {die('You are definitely a robot.');}

  $mail_status = mail( "my@email.com", "Hey!", "Hello,\n\n$message\n\nRegards,\n\n$name\n$location", "From: $email $name" );

  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();
}

    if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message. I will try to respond as soon as I can.');
window.location = '/about';
</script>
<?php
}
    else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('There was an error. Please try again in a few minutes, or send the message directly to aalejandro@bitsland.com.');
window.location = '/about';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
So what it does is this: if everything's OK, it sends an email with "Hey!" as the subject, "[name]" as the sender, "Hello, [message]. Regards, [name], [location]" as the body, and a popup saying the message was delivered appears. If something fails, it outputs the error in a new address, so the user will have to go back to the form and correct the error.

What I actually want to happen is this: if everything's OK, a <p> which was hidden beneath the form appears saying the message was delivered, or, alternatively, make the submit button gray out and confirm the message was delivered. I found a script to make this happen, but with "Please wait...", so the user can't resubmit the form.

If there's an error, I'd like another <p> which was hidden to appear with the specific error, so there'd be many <p>'s hidden with different IDs. If possible, I'd also like to change the CSS style of the input field, specifically changing the border color to red, so it'd be a change in class for the particular field.

--

So in essence, I want the errors and the success messages to output in the same page as the form (without refresh), and a change of class in the input fields that have an error.

Thanks in advance, and please let me know if it'll be possible.
