Replace your first php section with what I gave you.
IE does not understand the submit button. In your form use a hidden field. I like
Code:
<input type="hidden" name="msoft" value="junk">
right after the form tag.
Then use this line in your evaluation code:
Code:
if(isset($_POST["msoft"]) && $_POST["msoft"] == 'junk')
instead of this one:
Code:
if($_POST['pubformsubmit'] == "Submit")
Your input checking just looks to see if the user entered something and not what he entered. You should spend some time on the internet looking up evaluating forms. Lots out there. It's also where you eliminate the commas, enters, =, -, and other special characters that your having problems with. Some of this uses Regex which is hard to master, but easy to copy/paste.
Here's an updated but not fully correct page:
PHP Code:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["rewards"] = '';
if(isset($_GET['refid'])){
setcookie("njfailREWARDsystem", $_GET['refid'], time()+604800);
}else if(isset($_COOKIE["njfailREWARDsystem"])){
$value = $_COOKIE["njfailREWARDsystem"];
$_SESSION["rewards"] = $value;
}
if(isset($_POST["msoft"]) && $_POST["msoft"] == 'junk')
{
$errorMessage = "";
if(empty($_POST['publishername']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your name in the field below.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['publisheremail']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your email in the field below.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websitename']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter a name for your website.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websiteurl']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your website's URL.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['uniqueviews']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter an estimate of your website's monthly unique views.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['rawviews']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter an estimate of your website's monthly raw impressions.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websitedescription']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter a description for your website.</li>";
}
$varpublishername = $_POST['publishername'];
$varpublisheremail = $_POST['publisheremail'];
$varwebsitename = $_POST['websitename'];
$varwebsiteurl = $_POST['websiteurl'];
$varuniqueviews = $_POST['uniqueviews'];
$varrawviews = $_POST['rawviews'];
$varwebsitedescription = $_POST['websitedescription'];
if(empty($errorMessage))
{
//define the receiver of the email
$to = $_POST['publisheremail'];
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'ValueViewMedia Application Confirmation';
//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n
$message = $_POST['publishername']. ",\n\nThank you for applying to become a ValueViewMedia publisher!\nWe will review your application, and contact you with the results within 48 hours.\n\nThank you,\nValueViewMedia";
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: publishers@valueviewmedia.com\r\nReply-To: publishers@valueviewmedia.com";
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
$fs = fopen("publisherapps.csv","a");
fwrite($fs,$varpublishername . ", " . $varpublisheremail . ", " . $varwebsitename . ", " . $varwebsiteurl . ", " . $varuniqueviews . ", " . $varrawviews . ", " . $varwebsitedescription . ", " . $refid . "\n");
fclose($fs);
header("Location: /publishers/success/");
exit;
}
