Email Validation or Confirm Email

[Darkfx]

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!

Yes, I would like that too!

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.
