When I initially wrote this script, the site design did not require the execution

  • 0

When I initially wrote this script, the site design did not require the execution of the html after the die() functions. Now it does. I realize I can copy the end of the HTML code into each of the die() statements, but it contains a php include file (footer.inc.php) which is then ignored. (This is the workaround that I am going with at the moment, so the page looks OK but does not contain the footer.)

I tried switching the die() functions in the first sequence to if() and elseif() functions, but then it displays both the die() message and the message after the email code that indicates the email function was successful.

I am sure there is a way to have the script execute only one of these statements without using the die(), but I can’t figure it out. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    You can build an $error variable and check it before attempting the email. Something along the lines of:

    $error = '';
//validate sumbitted data
if (empty($name)){
    $error .= '<p class="center">Please provide your name.</p>';
}

if (empty($email)){
    $error .= '<p class="center">Please provide your email.</p>';
}

// etc...

if (empty($error)) {
    //formulate email message
    $to = 'centercourtstringing@yahoo.com';
    $from = 'centercourtstringing.com';
    $subject = 'Contact from centercourtstringing.com';

    // etc...

    if (mail($to, $subject, $body, "From $from")) {
        echo '<p>Your pick-up has been requested...</p>';
    } else {
        die('<p>Sorry, there was a mail delivery error...');
    }
} else {
    echo $error;
    echo '<form><p class="center"><input type="button" value="Go back" onClick="history.go(-1);return true;"> </p></form>';
}

// Rest of HTML
