Contact Form: Validation & Deployment

[Travis Love]

Hey There,

I am currently finishing up my associates for web design and struggling heavily with JS. I have started learning jQuery which is a big help and much simpler to understand thanks to css selectors.

But as I go deeper into JS I am continuing to find it hard to learn, but alas that is not why I am hear. I am trying to finish my own site and many others and continuing to hit the road block of finding a functional “site-to-email” contact form. I can code it in HTML and CSS perfectly, and can get JS to do the standard “onclick” functionality stuff. But I can’t seem to find anywhere tutorials or even understandable code for contact form validation. I also do not have any understanding of what to do after it is validated. I know the action = “post” part, but I do not know PHP to code further validation and submitting to the server either. Sometimes this concerns me as a new designer that my knowledge of HTML and CSS mean nothing if I can’t grasp the simple concepts of JS and PHP.

I have heard about validation libraries, but not sure if these are simple “drag and drop” scripts, seeing as I can code the form myself.

Thanks for the help.

cubedMedia, i saw your site, i think is this, http://www.cubedmedia.com/ right?

first.
if you have your own domain, use it, don’t put a mailto:*@bellsouth.
create you email address, like, [email protected]

second
jQuery, do not, send email, ok? but you can easily validate the form with the validate plugin

http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/

validate plugin

php send email, you know this,
you can also validate here, but is more work.
for send a email you should use the mail() function
I am from Chile so the code is in spanish.

$Nombre = htmlspecialchars($_POST[Nombre]);

$email= htmlspecialchars($_POST[email]);

$fono = htmlspecialchars($_POST[fono]);

$mensaje = htmlspecialchars($_POST[mensaje]);



$recipiente = "YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS";

$sw = "index.php";

$msg = "El Sr: $Nombre, envia el formulario con los siguientes datos:nnnn



Nombre: $Nombre

e-mail: $email

Fono: $fono

Mensaje: $mensajenn";



if (empty($Nombre)){

echo "
Error: No ha

ingresado su Nombre.
";

} else if(empty($fono)){

echo "
Error: No ha

ingresado su Telefono.
";

} else if(empty($mensaje)){

echo "Error: No ha

ingresado su Mensaje.";

}else{



//Limpiamos de posibles ataques.



$mensaje = ereg_replace("rn","
", $mensaje);



mail("$recipiente", "YOUR TITLE", "$msg", "FROM: $email");





echo"Señor/es $Nombre.

look at the variables $_POST because your input need to name as it.
ex.
html page.

the class required is for validate plugin works

the name = email send to php page as

$_POST

any question. just ask
