Mail form

[thetestingsite]

To verify email addresses, I would use javascript. As far as the only submitting data from the textarea, simply take this line out of the php:

if ($_POST[name] and $_POST[email] and ...

and just simply have this:

if ($_POST[textarea])

That will only ensure that they have something in the textarea.

And also, that test email was from me. I uploaded your code to my server, and forgot to change the $to email address. Sorry.

I see what you mean, but taking it away means that I cannot force them to place name and e-mail. I need the three infos.

Well one other thing you could take into consideration is in the HTML form, you have it set to have the value of "Your Name" and "Your email", and those disappear when you click on the form field. What if they don't click on it and only type in the textarea. Then you will recieve an email with

Name: Your name
Email: Your Email
Message: Whatever they type in.

To eliminate this issue, you could make the if statement I spoke of before to do the following:

if ($_POST[name] != "Your name" and $_POST[name] != "" and $_POST[email] != "Your email" and $_POST[email] != "" and $_POST[message] != "") {

/* This will verify they have entered something in the fields other than the default values. Change as needed */

Let me know if this helps or not.

It works perfectly.
Thanks a lot !!

Is it possible to have a text already in the textarea as well ? (like: your message goes here)

[thetestingsite]

You could do it like so:

<textarea> Type your message here! </textarea>

[chechu]

If I just type it, the text does not go away when I click in the textarea. It does so in the "name" and "adress". Can the same be done in textarea ?

[thetestingsite]

Yes, by using javascript. Not sure right off the top of my head, but give me a little while and I'll post a code snippet for you to use.

[thetestingsite]

<textarea name="info" rows="7" cols="40" onfocus="if (this.value=='Enter your text here.') {this.value='' }" onblur="if (this.value=='') {this.value='Enter your text here.'} ">Enter your text here</textarea>

That should do it, you could probably save it in an external file, or in the head of the document (not sure how to do it exactly).

There is a part of the script missing, right ? I place this in the form, but what do I place in the head ?

<textarea name="info" rows="7" cols="40" onfocus="if (this.value=='Enter your text here.') {this.value='' }" onblur="if (this.value=='') {this.value='Enter your text here.'} ">Enter your text here</textarea>
