Hi,
I'm a bit stuck with my contact form code. When a user fills out the form and they get it wrong or miss some information an error appears and the data that they have entered disappears. How do I get it to keep the existing data that they have entered? I have the following:-
<?php session_start(); ?>

<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$error = "";
if (!empty($_POST['Name'])) {
$name = $_POST['Name'];
} else {
$error .= "You didn't type in your name. <br />";
}
if (!empty($_POST['Email'])) {
$email = $_POST['Email'];
if (!preg_match("/^[_a-z0-9]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i", $email)){
$error .= "The e-mail address you entered is not valid. <br/>";
}
} else {
$error .= "You didn't type in an e-mail address. <br />";
}
if (!empty($_POST['Message'])) {
$message = $_POST['Message'];
} else {
$error .= "You didn't type in a message. <br />";
}
if (!empty($_POST['Telephone'])) {
$telephone= $_POST['Telephone'];
}
if(($_POST['code']) == $_SESSION['code']) {
$code = $_POST['code'];
} else {
$error .= "The captcha code you entered does not match. Please try again. <br />";
}
if (empty($error)) {
$from = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $email . '>';
$to = "info@jamescurl.co.uk";
$subject = "Message from Kibblewhite Gardens website";
$content = " From: ".$name . "\n Phone number: " . $telephone . "\n Message: " . $message;
$success = "<h3>Thank you! Your message has been sent!</h3>";
mail($to,$subject,$content,$from);
}
}
