• I want to display a thank you message once the person has successfully filled in the form
• I want to check for correct email id eg. if "@" and ".com" has been entered
• would it be possible to save the entries to another php or text file ? after the email has been sent ?

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Answer 1

There is a redirect once the mail is sent. Can you place your thank you message on this page? Sometimes I have a thank you.php page for this purpose.

Here is a snippet from a contact form to check for email validation will this help?

if(trim($_POST['email']) === '') {
} else if (!preg_match("/^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i", trim($_POST['email']))) {
     $emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.';
     $hasError = true;
} else {
     $email = trim($_POST['email']);
}

You could save the entries a database once submitted? Or I think you can create a session to keep hold of the variables for further use. What are you planning to do with the data then after it has been submitted?
