This is my code which needs to be validated. The validation works ok but here is the problem.
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Email</label>
<input type="email" class ="form-control" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Enter Email">
<p><?php if(isset($errors['email1'])) echo $errors['email1'];?></p>
<p><?php if(isset($errors['email2'])) echo $errors['email12'];?></p>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="phone">Phone Number</label>
<input type="text" class ="form-control" name="phone" id="phone" placeholder="Enter Phone Number">
<p><?php if(isset($errors['phone1'])) echo $errors['phone1'];?></p>
<p><?php if(isset($errors['phone2'])) echo $errors['phone2'];?></p>
<p><?php if(isset($errors['phone3'])) echo $errors['phone3'];?></p>
</div>
I have the form set to save to a file. The inputs will be validated and the error messages will be displayed but the form that has wrong inputs will still be saved to a file. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['phone']) && isset($_POST['enquiry'])){
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$enquiry = $_POST['enquiry'];
$file = "form.txt";
$save = "Email: ".$email."
".
"Phone: ".$phone."
".
"Comment: ".$enquiry."
";
file_put_contents($file,$save, FILE_APPEND);
}
?>
