   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.

   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.

   Thanks!

   Are you using the embed function for your client? Or are you creating the form, cutting and pasting and sending that form off to your client?

   Embedding. Although I suppose we could do the other if it will make things considerably easier.

   I'll let qton answer the part about his own code (where to tweak it and all that).

   IMHO,

   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.

   Maybe in a future release? That would be a nice feature.

   HOIT!

   cyberk, you can start looking at includes/common-validator.php file.
   All validation functions are defined there.

   Those functions are being called by process_form() function defined in includes/post-functions.php

   Hope that helps.

   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?

   Thanks!

   Actually, I prepared that "equal" comparison function for this purpose. Comparing two fields, but didn't get the chance to implement the whole functionality.

   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'];

   Try to dump the $user_input variable and you'll see it. It hold the whole form inputs.

    I did get this working, albeit in an entirely ugly, hackish manner on the back end. From the user perspective it looks and works perfectly, but my code is a bit unattractive.

    Thanks for the help!
