email validation

[vietboy505]

I need help on the e-mail form, can any one help me?

I want the form to check if everything is inputs correct such as an valid e-mail.

If the user choose General, it will send to general email. general@email.com. If the user choose Customer, it will send to Customer e-mail. customer@email.com. Is this have something to do with switch case?

From: Name [General or Customer]
The subject is either : General/Customer question from Name [date()]
The body is Comments, plus a timestamp.

<form name="email_form" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="require" value="Name,Email,Purpose,Comments">
<table>
<tr>
	<td align="right">Name:</td>
	<td><input name="Name" size="25"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td align="right">E-mail:</td>
	<td><input name="Email" size="25"></td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td align="right">Purpose:</td>
	<td><select name="Purpose">
	<option value="General">General
	<option value="Customer">Customer
	</select>
	</td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td align="right">Comments:</td>
	<td><textarea name="Comments" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea>
	</td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="email_form">
	<input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"></td>
</tr>

</table>
</form>

all i can see is the form itself. where is your mailer code? what errors are you getting? what debugging have you done?

I get the "Invalid Email" right away.

<?php 

function determineEmail($Purpose) 
{ 
    if($Purpose == "General") { 
        $mailTo="Name1 <name1@mail.com>, Name2 <name2@mail.com>"; 

    } elseif($Purpose == "Customer") { 
        $mailTo="Name2 <name2@mail.com>, Name3 <name3@mail.com>"; 
    } else { 
    //proably won't be in here 
        $mailTo="name5@mail.com"; 
    } 
} 

if(!preg_match("/^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-w] 
*[0-9a-zA-Z].)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$/",$_POST["Email"])) { 
//email address is invalid 
die("Invalid Email"); 
}  

if(!empty($message)){ // only send if the form has been filled out.  
  $mailHeaders="From : $Name [$Email]";   
  $mailSubject="$Purpose from $Name";   
  $mailBody="Sent by $Name ($Email) on " . date('M j,Y h:i:s') . " \n\n";   
  $mailBody.="Message : \n\n $message";   

  mail($mailTo, $mailSubject, $mailBody, $mailHeaders);  
  echo "<b>Your email has been sent!</b><br>";   
} 


echo('<form name="email_form" method="post"> 
<input type="hidden" name="require" value="Name,Email,Purpose,Comments"> 
<table> 
<tr> 
    <td align="right">Name:</td> 
    <td><input name="Name" size="25"></td> 
</tr> 

<tr> 
    <td align="right">E-mail:</td> 
    <td><input name="Email" size="25"></td> 
</tr> 

<tr> 
    <td align="right">Purpose:</td> 
    <td><select name="Purpose"> 
    <option value="General">General 
    <option value="Customer">Customer 
    </select> 
    </td> 
</tr> 

<tr> 
    <td align="right">Comments:</td> 
    <td><textarea name="Comments" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea> 
    </td> 
</tr> 

<tr> 
    <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="email_form"> 
    <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"></td> 
</tr> 

</table> 
</form>'); 
?>

try with just the email address in the to and from bits. don't try and include the name nor the <> signs. just the email address.
