Does any one know a cgi/php form to mail applet that will allow the admin to make sure two fields are the same? Where the user has to retype thier phone number, and it must be the same in order to submit the form?

Thanks,

Brian

u can just add the code in for php..

<?php

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['tel1'] != $HTTP_POST_VARS['tel2']) {

echo "error";

}

?>

Just to emulate on Steven's post, if you have access to the superglobals you should use them instead.

PHP Code:

<?php



if ($_POST['tel1'] != $_POST['tel2']) {



echo "error";



}



?>

Thanks, but where whould I put that code? In the script or in my html? And where in the script or html would it go? Sorry if that's a stupid question, but I'm pretty new to all of this...

Well, I just put it in the html and it displayed "error" on the next page, but is there a way to make it pop up an error box and not send the information unless the two fields are the same?

Greetingz...

Firstly try (It's not PHP but it works...):

PHP Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

  function checkData()

  {

    if (document.myForm.TelNo1.value == document.myForm.TelNo2.value)

    {

      return true;

    }

    else

    {

      alert("Please enter the same telephone number");

      return false;

    }

  }

</SCRIPT>

<FORM ACTION="proccessform.php" NAME="myForm" onSubmit="return checkData()">

  Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Name"><BR>

  Tel1: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="TelNo1"><BR>

  Tel2: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="TelNo2"><BR>

  <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="btnSubmit"><BR>

</FORM> 

Secondly the following is used in the Handler script of the form:

PHP Code:

<?php

  if ($_POST['TelNo1'] != $_POST['TelNo2'])

  {

    echo "error";

  }

?>

Hope that helps...
