From the user perspective it looks and works perfectly, but my code is a bit unattractive.</p> <p>Thanks for the help!</p> <p>Andrew </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1447 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 23:50:58 +0000 cyberk 1447@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Aha, that should do it.

Comparing two fields, but didn't get the chance to implement the whole functionality.</p> <p>From process_form() function, you could get the content of the other email by accessing the $user_input array. For example $user_input['element_3'];</p> <p>Try to dump the $user_input variable and you'll see it. It hold the whole form inputs. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1441 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:26:55 +0000 cyberk 1441@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Cool, I looked at common-validator, but what I'm not sure of is how to get the content of the other email field. I even see a "equal" comparison function but I'm not sure where to pull the value of the two different email fields. Any hints?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1439 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:17:30 +0000 yuniar 1439@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>cyberk, you can start looking at <strong>includes/common-validator.php</strong> file.<br /> All validation functions are defined there.</p> <p>Those functions are being called by process_form() function defined in <strong>includes/post-functions.php</strong></p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1434 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 06:30:29 +0000 Saghalie 1434@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Correction.</p> <p>change qton to Yuniar!</p> <p>Getting my lists mixed up! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1433 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 06:26:58 +0000 Saghalie 1433@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'll let qton answer the part about his own code (where to tweak it and all that). </p> <p>IMHO, </p> <p>It would be easier to just create the form, cut and paste, fix up the element_* ID's, action a PHP script that has the checks in it and you're off and running. I have a nice script that I'm working on for a newsletter subscription service (ezmlm) and this is what I have done.</p> <p>Maybe in a future release? That would be a nice feature.</p> <p>HOIT!</p> <p>Saghalie<br /> <a href="http://www.beautiful-beginnings.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.beautiful-beginnings.org</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1430 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 04:18:15 +0000 cyberk 1430@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Embedding.

Or are you creating the form, cutting and pasting and sending that form off to your client? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/verify-email-address-with-duplicate-fields#post-1420 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:52:10 +0000 cyberk 1420@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>We've got a client that wants the user to enter their email address twice, and have the form verify that the two fields match.</p> <p>Can someone point me to the right place to hack this in? I'm an experienced PHP programmer so I just need a little nudge toward the right place to add this.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
