Neverside

Want to add to a premade code

for reference this is the script I'm using: http://www.boaddrink.com/projects/phpformmail/

This is what I want to add:http://robouk.mchost.com/tuts/tutorial.php?tutorial=emailvalidation

This script basically takes a form and sends it via email to me. The only thing I wanna add is the check email function they had listed here in Robouk's tutorial section. But I know absolutely nothing about php other than how to get one running based on instructions and using the instructions provided with said script didn't help alot. Anyone who could write it up for me, or explain what I'm doing wrong would help out alot.

You better use javascript insted of php to validate mail forms

Wow...that totally solved my problems. First java script email validator I found did the job. Thanks ^ ^

I'd suggest using both client-side and server-side validation. Client-side validation is good, as but easy to fool.

Use both, although you still cant check validity of email (if it REALLY works) without sending a verification thingy to it

Using both is definitely the best choice. Client-side is good just for an up front check, then if they get around that somehow, the server-side validation will force them to fix it. Server-side is also great since you have to consider the user might not have JavaScript available to them.
