I really do appreciate the help that I get on this forum and know that I'm asking a lot. But I learn from all the advice. Thank you.

Here is my final question...

Summarizing what I want to do from the start:

1. I have a form with 4 fields. For example $mobile, $code, $message,
$tickbox

2. I need to confirm that there are no blank values and that the
tickbox is ticked.

3. I need to confirm that $mobile is a number (no other characters)

4. If there are blank values or $mobile contains a value other than a
number, I need error messages and the form to be presented back to them
with the error messages below.

5. Another tricky part is that I need $code to be checked, so that it
is matched to a code in mysql database. Otherwise the user gets
requested to re-enter the code (but hopefully the message and mobile
fields will still be populated from what the user originally put in
each of the fields. This will stop them getting annoyed that the
message they spent 10 mins writing has disappeared after the error.

6. If there are no blanks AND the code matches any code on mysql (I
have a table there with a single field which has 1000 codes) AND the
mobile value is all numbers, then and only then would I like myfile.php
to be actioned which involves sending an email (I have the email bit
all worked out in the myfile.php)

7. The final bit is that on submission If all the above is correct (no
blanks and code confirmed etc...) then I need the code to be deleted
from the mysql table.

I know that this is quite a bit of work but if anyone could help me
with anybit then I would appreciate it.

At the moment I might be doing it the wrong way but have this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



//substr just to have the php page accept a certain number of 

characters, not all that important. 



$mobile = substr($_REQUEST["mobile"], 0, 15); 

$code = substr($_REQUEST["code"], 0, 8); 

$message = substr($_REQUEST["message"], 0, 122); 

$tickbox = $_REQUEST["tickbox"]; 



//will redirect to blanks.php page which is almost the same as the 

original form page, 

//but with the blanks error message 



if (empty(mobile) || empty($code) || empty($message) || 

empty($tickbox)) { 

        header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/blanks.php" ); 



  } 



//will redirect to bad number page which is almost identical to the 

original form page 

//but with bad number comment 

if (!ereg("^[0-9]{1,}$",$mobile)) { 

        header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/badnumber.php" ); 



  } 



//the bit that sends the email 

//this bit works and so i dont need help on the actual email send 

$my_email = "xxx...@xxxxxx.com"; 



if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != "POST"){exit;} 



$message = ""; 



while(list($key,$value) = 

each($_POST)){if(!(empty($value))){$set=1;}$message = $message . "$key: 

$value\n\n";} if($set!==1){header("location: 

$_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");exit;} 



$message = "$code 

                      $mobile 

                      $message 

                      $tickbox"; 



$subject = "subject"; 

$headers = "From: " . $_POST['senderemail'] . "\n" . "Return-Path: " . 

$_POST['senderemail'] . "\n" . "Reply-To: " . $_POST['senderemail'] . 

"\n"; 



mail($my_email,$subject,$message,$headers); 



<html> 

<head> 

</head> 

<body> 



Actual final page that the user sees after successful form submission 

is here in the html. 



</body> 

</html> 



?>

So thats how far I've come with separate .php files for error messages.

But I do need to only have this form submit the email bit if there are
no blanks AND the $mobile only contains numbers AND the $code matches a
code in mysql table.

On submission I would need the used code to be deleted from the table
on mysql.

All help appreciated!
