Hello!

I got my form to work and all the variables show up in my email. Sweet! The only problem that I'm having now is with the validation. I've placed an alert on the form if its incomplete. The alert doesn't show up and the form doesn't go to the next frame if accordingly. Please help!

I think the problem lies between my php code and AS2 code not communicating. Sorry for all the code!

AS2 code:

Code:

stop();
import mx.controls.Alert;
//mx.accessibility.NumericStepperAccImpl.enableAccessibility();





_global.style.setStyle("themeColor", "haloBlue");

//var firstName:String = "";
//var lastName:String = "";
//var phone:String = "";
//var eMail:String = "";
var eventType:String = "";
//var eventOther:String = "";
//var hearCompany:String = "";
//var hearOther:String = "";
var eventDate:String = "";
//var time:String = "";
//var location:String = "";
//var numGuests:String = "";
//var budget:String = "";
var servicesNeeded:String = "";
//var comments:String = "";

List Variables to see if receiveLoad.answer includes any linebreaks - sent\r\n
if so, enclose the var/value pair with ampersands

echo "&answer=sent&";

**Musicman** · 03-27-2009, 07:46 PM

Hi,

your php code says that the mail is sent if ANY of the variables is not empty - wouldn't it make more sense to require that ALL (or at least a group of) variables are filled?

Beware of putting user-supplied data (first name and email address) into headers

Yes, it would make sense to do it that way. I'm really new to this coding with php. I just need to make the validation work and I'm home free. Otherwise, it just works and you can submit the form without any info being supplied and no alert that says incomplete form. Or I could just disable the submit button until all fields are populated. I really don't want to go that route. I'm so close to getting this right. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.

**Musicman** · 03-28-2009, 04:14 PM

Hi,

just replace these || with && to change the logic.
Another thought - are all of these fields really needed?

Musicman

**PR Gip** · 03-28-2009, 07:57 PM

Thank you for your help! Yes, I need all of the fields. I will try your recommendations and let you know the results.
