VALIDATION MAILERS

ò Form/Email Validation & Form Mailer

by  SPYDERIX  Posted    (Edited  )
This script is for form validation to determine if all fields have been filled out and if the email address supplied is of valid syntax. If all statements return true then the form is emailed to the specified recipient.

This script's main feature is that is replicates your form for people if they missed a required fields. Any and all fields that are missed show another form field, and those that have been done properly show as normal text.

This script has been made for a 3 field form but if you have more fields that require validation you will have to add those in yourself. Make sure that you match up the input NAMES porperly to the variables used or vice versa.

This script is provided for free but, I request that the copyright notice be kept in tact and in place.
