Php/javascript Email Form And Validation

So I have the JavaScript code which validates the first name field, I am adding more validation once I have worked this out. So basically if the field is not filled in, return fals

Solution 1:

In your form id="email" is conflicting with input id="email"

You can use HTML5 attributes for form validation (in HTML5 supported browsers)

Code

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    print_r($_POST);
    die;
    $email_to = "emailaddress";
    $email_subject = "Mint Makeup & Beauty Enquiry";        

    $fname = $_POST['fname']; // required
    $lname = $_POST['lname']; // required
    $message = $_POST['message']; // required
    $email_from = $_POST['email']; // required

    // create email content
    $email_content = "From:"." ".$fname." ".$lname."\n"."Email:"." ".$email_from."\n"."Message:"." ".$message; 
    mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_content);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<script type="text/javascript">
function validateForm() { 
    var error = false;
    var error_string = 'Please correct the following errors:\n\n';  
    if (document.getElementById('fname').value == ""){
        error_string += "--> First name must be filled out.\n";
        error = true;
    } 
    if (document.getElementById('lname').value == ""){
        error_string += "--> Last name must be filled out.\n";
        error = true;
    } 
    if (document.getElementById('email').value == ""){
        error_string += "--> Email must be filled out.\n";
        error = true;
    }    
    if(error){
        alert(error_string);
        return false;
    }  else {
        return true;
    }
}
</script>

<form onsubmit="return validateForm(this)"  action="" method="post" >

    <div id="form_fname">
    <label for="fname"><img src="images/firstname.png" width="94" height="17" alt="first name" /></label>
    <input type="text" name="fname" id="fname" />  
    </div>   

    <div id="form_lname">
    <label for="lname"><img src="images/lastname.png" width="89" height="17" alt="last name" /></label>
    <input type="text" name="lname" id="lname" />  
    </div>   

    <div id="form_email">
    <label for="email"><img src="images/email.png" width="53" height="17" alt="email" /></label>
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />   
    </div>

    <div id="form_message">   
    <label for="Message"><img src="images/message.png" width="77" height="17" alt="message" /></label>
    <textarea name="message" id="message" cols="45" rows="5"></textarea>  
    </div>

    <div id="form_submit"> 
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>

  </form>
  </body>
  </html>

I just showed you how client side validation works and form is posting correctly.. You should always use server side validation..


Solution 2:

Try

document.forms["email"]["fname"].value

instead

document.forms['email'].fname.value

Also you can get field this way:

document.getElementById('fname').value
