My last question on PHP, promise :)

Thanks,

Someone else told me that but I can't get it to work.

Do I just replace the lines:

PHP Code:

if (!ereg("^[0-9]{1,}$",$mobile)) {  
        header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/badnumber.php" );  

  } 


With:

PHP Code:

if (is_numeric($mobile)) {  
        header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/badnumber.php" );  

  } 


Because this is what I did and it doesn't work like ereg does?


This is as far as I have got with the form field validation bit too. If someone can help me finish this, it may be the quickest $30 paypal they've ever made!

So I add:

PHP Code:

$username="username"; 
$password="password"; 
$database="databasename"; 

mysql_connect('localhost',$username,$password); 
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database"); 

$sql = "select count(*) items from tablename where code = '$code'"; 
//Run the query 
if (items == 0) { 
    header( "Location: http://www.mysite.com/badcode.php" ); 

} 


With this I'm trying to validate that $code submitted in the form is in a table. If it is progress with the action (sending an email- noted in first post) PLUS then I would need to have this $code value deleted from the mysql database table.

If the value of $code isn't on the table then I have the redirect to http://www.mysite.com/badcode.php

PLEASE help if you can and I will paypal you $50 as soon as I have it working. I'm sure that this is easy for a lot of people.

Thanks.
