    Unhappy Help with Contact Form

    I have a contact form in my website that sends email out even if not all the fields are filled in. I need to change it so that it will only proceed if all fields are filled in.

    This is what I have right now:

    on (release) {
    // send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
    // to email PHP page which will send the mail
    form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
    }



    This is what I found online:

    on (release) {
    if (form.name_txt.text == "" || form.email_txt.text == "" || form.body_txt.text == "") {
    // do whatever. one of the textfields is empty
    } else {
    form.loadVariables("send.php", "POST");
    play();
    }
    }


    I spent over two hours trying to implement this into my website (n00b ) but I can't get it to work. I've had all kinds of problems. Sometimes it seems like it won't send the email but then when I upload it and try it out online it does!

    Thanks!

    Oh.. sorry, this is what my latest attempt looks like:

    on (release) {
    if (form.name_txt.text == "" || form.email_txt.text == "" || form.message.text == "") {
    gotoAndStop(7);
    } else {
    form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
    }
    }


    It still sends the message. Even if not all fields are filled out.

    You're going to have to sey these initial values to your textfields first.

    So, in form's 1st keyframe, write:
    PHP Code:
    name_txt.text "";
    email_txt.text "";
    message.text ""
    then your comparison will be valid.
