Hello,

I have the following code and need to validate the email address.

I have asked previuosly but had no luck in getting it to work. Mac promised to sort it but have not been able to get it done by him so far.

The PHP code is:

<?php

if ($_POST) {

	$expected = array('name', 'email', 'emailmessage');
	$validation = array(
		'name'			=> 'Please provide your full name',
		'email'			=> 'Please provide your valid email address',
		'emailmessage'	=> 'Please provide message'
	);
	
	$errors = array();
	$output = array();

	foreach($expected as $key) {
		
		if (array_key_exists($key, $_POST)) {
			if (empty($_POST[$key])) {
				$errors[$key] = $validation[$key];
			} else {
				$output[$key] = $_POST[$key];
			}
		} else {
			$errors[$key] = $validation[$key];
		}
	
	}

	if (!empty($errors)) {
		$array = array('error' => true, 'fields' => $errors);
	} else {
	
		// PROCESS FORM
		
	// ---------------------------------------------------------
	// BEGIN EDITING
	// ---------------------------------------------------------

	$to = "[email protected]"; //This is the email address messages will be sent to
	$web_name = "My Test Web Form"; //This is the name of your website that will show in your email inbox
	
	//get IP address
	$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

	//make time
	$time = time();
	$date = date("r", $time);

	// ---------------------------------------------------------
	// END EDITING
	// ---------------------------------------------------------
	
	$emailmessage = trim($emailmessage);
	$emailmessage = nl2br($emailmessage);
	$emailmessage = htmlspecialchars($emailmessage);
	$emailmessage = wordwrap($emailmessage, 70);

	//Visible form elements
	$name = $_POST['name']; //Sender's name
	$email = $_POST['email']; //Sender's email
	$emailmessage = htmlspecialchars($_POST['emailmessage']); //Sender's message
	
	//Setting up email
	$subject = "New Message from $web_name";
	
	$message = "
				New message from $name <br/><br/>
				
				Message:<br />
				$emailmessage
				<br/>
				
				<br/>
				Email: $email<br />
				IP:</strong> <span style="color:#990000;">$ip</span><br />
				Date:</strong> $date
				
				";
	
	$header  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "rn";
	$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "rn";
	$header .= 'From:'. $email . " rn";
				
	$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
	
		//$message = '<div id=message>You have successfully subscribed to our newsletter</div>';
		$array = array('error' => false, 'message' => $message);
	}
	
	
	echo json_encode($array);


}

The Javascript is:

$(function() {

	if ($("#contact").length > 0) {
	
		$("#contact").submit(function() {
		
			//$('#button').hide();
			$('#loader').show();
			$("#contact .warn").remove();
			
			var fields = $(this).serializeArray();
			
			$.ajax({
				type : 'POST',
				url : 'inc/form.php',
				data : fields,
				dataType : 'json',
				success: function(data) {
				
					$('#button').show();
					$('#loader').hide();
					
					if (data.error) {
						
						$('.error').fadeIn(300);
						
						jQuery.each(data.fields, function(k, v) {
							$('.' + k).append('<span class="warn">' + v + '</span>');
							$('.warn').fadeIn(500);
						});
						
					} else {
						
						$('.error').hide();
						
						$('.confirm').fadeIn(300, function() {
							var d = setTimeout(function() {
								$('.confirm').fadeOut(300);
							}, 2000);
						});
						
						$('#name').val('');
						$('#email').val('');
						$('#emailmessage').val('');
						
					}
					
				}
				
			});
			
			return false;
			
		});
	}

});

The form works fine and submits ok just the email is not validated so the user can type in anything he/she likes and the form will be submitted.

Any help is much apprceaited.

Thanks
