My PHP contact Form does't work correctly... Please help???

Zachary1748 · October 16, 2011

Here's my website page with the Contact Form: http://www.3dmark3t.com/contact.html

Now the problem is if you don't fill out any info it will have an error message with all the things but not the selection. when I get the email it shows if the user has selected something out of the selection box but it doesn't have an error message and it still goes through even if you don't select something. could someone please help me with my PHP form validation.

PHP:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
     
    // CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW
    $email_to = "user@domain.com";
     
    $email_subject = "3DMark3t Contact:";
     
     
    function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
        echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
        echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
        echo $error."<br /><br />";
        echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
        die();
    }
     
    // validation expected data exists
    if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email']) ||
        !isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
        !isset($_POST['comments'])) {
if(isset($_POST['formGender']) )
{
  $errorMessage = "";
  $var3dmodels = $_POST['3DModels'];
  $vargraphic_design = $_POST['Graphic Design'];
  $varweb_design = $_POST['Web Design'];
  $vartutorials = $_POST['Tutorials'];
  $varreport = $_POST['Report'];
  $varrequests = $_POST['Requests'];
}
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');       
    }



     
    $first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
    $last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
    $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
    $telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
$formGender = $_POST['formGender']; // required
    $comments = $_POST['comments']; // required
     
    $error_message = "";
    $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
  if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
    $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
    $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
  if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
    $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
    $error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(!isset($_POST['formGender']))
{
  $errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to select your Gender!</li>";
}
  if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
    $error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
    died($error_message);
  }
    $email_message = "3DMark3t Contact:";
     
    function clean_string($string) {
      $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
      return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
    }
     
    $email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "Select One: ".clean_string($formGender)."\n";
    $email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
     
     
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
?>
