PHP mail attachment form

Asked by: reddyfire

I got a mail form now that will allow for users filling out the form to submit a message with an attachment.  Now I want to it to display an error message if the the name field, the message field, or the email field are left blank.  

<?php
 if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
 $path_info = pathinfo($_FILES['filename']['name']);
        if (!in_array(strtolower($path_info['extension']),array('pdf','zip'))) {
                die ("can not upload this type of file");
        }
 
 
   // we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
   $to="reddyfire@gmail.com";
 
   $subject="E-mail with attachment";
 
   // get the sender's name and email address
   // we'll just plug them a variable to be used later
   $from = stripslashes($_POST['fromname'])."<".stripslashes($_POST['fromemail']).">";
 
   
   
   // generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
   $mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
 
   // store the file information to variables for easier access
   $tmp_name = $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name'];
   $type = $_FILES['filename']['type'];
   $name = $_FILES['filename']['name'];
   $size = $_FILES['filename']['size'];
   $nimi =  $_REQUEST['nimi'];
   $toimi =  $_REQUEST['toimi'];
   $Puhelinnumero =  $_REQUEST['Puhelinnumero'];
   $sahkoposti =  $_REQUEST['fromemail'];

   // again, in reality, you'll normally get this from the form submission
   $message = stripslashes($_POST['message'])."$message";

i tried youes and babuno5's as weel


babuno5 code worked fine for me ..... try it again ......

 

by: reddyfirePosted on 2009-02-22 at 01:13:37ID: 23703942

I tested it again and still didn't work.  If you look at the 2 codes carefully you will notice that babuno5's code is different than mine and does not contain the message box that allows for comments.  

 

by: agamalPosted on 2009-02-22 at 01:17:28ID: 23703951

first f it worked for you and you only missing the comment box we can add it .... we need a working code ... then we can add the extra code we need

Ok the working code is located in the original post.  To save you some time from going back up and looking at it here it is.

you named the form to form1 ... that is why the script can't see form fields

i renamed the fields to have form1 name


check attached

Ok I renamed all the forms to form1 and it submits stuff now but even if I leave any of the forms blank it will still submit without giving any kind of error message.


<?php

on line 97 your last condition is wrong
if (form1.fromname.value == "" || form1.fromemail.value == "" || form.1message.value == "") {

it is
form.1message.value
but it must be
form1.message.value
