Hi Johann

You need to validate the field before processing the form submission

You could take a look at create_account.php to see how it is done there

If it was not for multimixer, oscommerce would be in trouble. Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge George!

If one would like to make the contact number compulsory – do you perhaps have any information on how to do this?

James,

It is very easy to create a drop down menu and place it to anywhere you want. I’ll make a new post about this soon.

There is also a forum topic that explain this: http://forums.oscommerce.com/topic/342527-how-to-create-a-drop-down-selection-menu/

I’m fighting with a drop-down list that I added to a modified contact_us file. the input_fields work fine (thanks for the tut), but the pull_down just won’t.

Here’s the code

$duration = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['duration']);

$duration_array = array();
$duration_array[] = array(‘id’ => ’0′, ‘text’ => ’12 Monate’);
$duration_array[] = array(‘id’ => ’1′, ‘text’ => ’24 Monate’);
$duration_array[] = array(‘id’ => ’2′, ‘text’ => ’36 Monate’);

What’s it’s supposed to do? Show a pull_down_list with 3 selections. Customer selects one and I get it emailed to me when he hits submit.

$duration gives me the variable for the email output
the $array should be good too, I followed the requirements for the tep_draw_form function.

Now for some reason the website shows an empty pull down list (no default and no selectors)

Any ideas?

You can if you want, question here is what to validate exactly? You can check if there is anything typed in, if the entry has a minimum length etc

Don’t know how you could check if the entry is a real and valid phone number

do we need to check or validate on the input to the added field? in this case the phone field?

Did it. If anyone is intrested:

’6′, ‘text’ => ‘Bentley’);
$model[] = array(‘id’ => ’7′, ‘text’ => ‘BMW’);
$model[] = array(‘id’ => ’8′, ‘text’ => ‘Bugatti’);
$model[] = array(‘id’ => ’9′, ‘text’ => ‘Buick’);
?>

and all the other lines Multimixer said.
Hope this help.
