Hi guys, I am completely new to PHP (novice is an understatement), so this question is pretty basic, sorry if it's been posted before, I had a look couldn't see anything.
Anyway basically all I want to do is make the $email_field required and need to be a valid e-mail address. I'm thinking this will only be an extra line or two so many thanks to anyone who can help out as PHP is quite foreign to me at the moment , cheersCode: Select all
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "whatever@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Feedback Form";
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
header( "Location: contact_thanks.html" );
mail($to, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "_";
}
