I have a form with about 7 fields that needs to save to a database. I have PHP validation and the Honeypot capture and the form seems to submit and validate but does not write to the database. I am guessing then the part I need help with is the section where it preps and sends the data to the DB. It is able to connect to the DB.
The error message I get is this: Fatal error: Call to undefined function PrepSQL()
I built this so far with a bunch of tutorials and pieced it together so if it can be improved, let me know. Thanks!
<?php
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
//Honeypot
if(trim($_POST['checking']) !== '') {
$captchaError = true;
} else {
// First Name
if(trim($_POST['first_name']) === '') {
$fnameError = 'Please enter your first name.';
$hasError = true;
} else {
$first_name = trim($_POST['first_name']);
}
// Last Name
if(trim($_POST['last_name']) === '') {
$lnameError = 'Please enter your last name.';
$hasError = true;
} else {
$last_name = trim($_POST['last_name']);
}
// Company
if(trim($_POST['company']) === '') {
$companyError = 'Please enter your company name.';
$hasError = true;
} else {
$company = trim($_POST['company']);
}
//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($_POST['email']) === '') {
$emailError = 'Please enter your email address.';
$hasError = true;
} else if (!preg_match("/^[_\\.0-9a-zA-Z-]+@([0-9a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/i", trim($_POST['email']))) {
$emailError = 'Please check the email address you entered.';
$hasError = true;
} else {
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
}
// If there are no errors, great! Write to the database.
if(!isset($hasError)) {
// Connect
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password");
if(!$db) die("Error connecting to MySQL database.");
mysql_select_db("formdb" ,$db);
// Prep
$sql = "INSERT INTO contact_details (FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, COMPANY, EMAIL, STATE, INTEREST, HEARABOUT)
VALUES (".
PrepSQL($first_name) . ", " .
PrepSQL($last_name) . ", " .
PrepSQL($company) . ", " .
PrepSQL($email) . ", " .
PrepSQL($state) . ", " .
PrepSQL($interest) . ", " .
PrepSQL($hear_about) . ")";
function PrepSQL($value)
{
// Stripslashes
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
// Quote
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
return($value);
}
// Run SQL
mysql_query($sql);
// Set it to saved
$formsaved = true;
}
}// End the Honeypot else wrap
}
?>
And here is the HTML for the form - just so we have the complete file.
<?php if(isset($formsaved) && $formsaved == true) { ?>
<div class="thanks">
<h1>Thanks, <?=$first_name;?></h1>
<p>Your message is probably popping up on my iPhone right now. I'll get back to you soon!</p>
