How can I easily validate the name input on the form using bootstrap or php? I want this field to reject all numbers 0-9. Can you please help me out?
Here is the field, which is a part of the form I use:
<input class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="NAME" type="text" name="name">
And this is the php script which sends the form:
<?php
$adresdo = "info@takelake.com";
$temat = "Newsletter signup";
$zawartosc = "Imie: ".$_POST['name']."\n"
."Email: ".$_POST['email']."\n"
."Selected".implode($_POST['checkbox'],",");
// if the url field is empty
if(isset($_POST['url']) && $_POST['url'] == ''){
if(!$_POST['name'] || !$_POST['email']){
header("Location: error.html");
exit;
}
$email = $_POST['email'];
if(mail($adresdo, $temat, $zawartosc, 'From: Subskrybent <'.$email.'>'))
{
header("Location: ok.html");
}
}
header("Location: error.html");
?>
you can use html5 code for this and this will allow space and if you want to check at least 2 character then use [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]{2,}
or use [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]{1,}
<input type="text" name="name" pattern="[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z ]{2,}" required>
and this not allow space
<input type="text" name="name" pattern="[a-zA-Z]{1,}" required>

and this is php validation
<?php
$adresdo = "info@takelake.com";
$temat = "Newsletter signup";
$zawartosc = "Imie: " . $_POST['name'] . "\n"
. "Email: " . $_POST['email'] . "\n"
. "Selected" . implode($_POST['checkbox'], ",");
// if the url field is empty
if (isset($_POST['url']) && $_POST['url'] == '') {
// then send the form to your email
mail('you@yoursite.com', 'Contact Form', print_r($_POST, true));
if (!$_POST['name'] || !$_POST['email']) {
header("Location: error.html");
}
if (preg_match('~[0-9]~', $_POST['name'])) {
header("Location: error.html");
exit();
}
$email = $_POST['email'];
if (mail($adresdo, $temat, $zawartosc, 'From: Subskrybent <' . $email . '>')) {
header("Location: ok.html");
}
}
