PHP form validation question?
- by GeNx
I have a form that validates the email address and I want to be able to place echo '<p class="error">Please enter a valid email address!</p>'; anywhere on the web page without having to put the validation process within the html?
Or should I include the validation process in the HTML form?
Here is the php code.
if (preg_match ('/^[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,6}$/', $_POST['email'])) {
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($mysqli, strip_tags($_POST['email']));
} else {
echo '<p class="error">Please enter a valid email address!</p>';
}
