Email Validation or Confirm Email - Darkfx - Jun 26th, 2015
Hi,
Is there anyone to make your email field to validate or confirm to the second email field like the attached image.
If anyone can help would be appreciate!

Validation Rules will do that. I'm doing that exact thing on my form. It is external however, so I'm not sure what your using.
PHP Code:
<?php
require_once("/path/to/formtool/global/api/api.php");
$fields = ft_api_init_form_page(2);
// validation time!
$errors = array();
if (isset($_POST['sbmt']))
{
$rules = array();
$rules[] = "valid_email,emailaddress,Please enter a valid email address.";
$rules[] = "same_as,emailaddress,emailaddress2,Please insure your confirmation email is the same.";
$errors = validate_fields($_POST, $rules);
// no errors - great! Now we process the page. The ft_api_process_form does
// the job of both updating the database and redirecting to the next page
if (empty($errors))
{
$params = array(
"submit_button" => "sbmt",
"next_page" => "https://www.xxx.com/wp/thank-you/",
"form_data" => $_POST,
"finalize" => true
);
ft_api_process_form($params);
}
// it failed validation. Update $fields with the latest contents of the form data
else
{
$fields = array_merge($_SESSION["form_tools_form"], $_POST);
}
}
?>Then in my form, I have this for the 2 email fields to compare.
PHP Code:
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top" width="35%">Email Address<br>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="618"><input maxlength="40" size="40" type="text" name="emailaddress" value="<?=@$fields["emailaddress"]?>" /> *-Required</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" valign="top" width="35%">Confirm Email Address<br>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="618"><input maxlength="40" size="40" type="text" name="emailaddress2" value="<?=@$fields["emailaddress2"]?>" /> *-Required</td>
</tr>
Hope this helps.
