Hi Guys -

Sorry in advance if this is the dumbest question in the world...

I want to enter an 'or' argument for checking completion of a form [I want the customers email address OR their phone number, but don't want to mandate both]. Plus I want to mandate a 'body' - a question, comment, whatever...

It looks like a line like:

$fillerror = (empty($contact["email"]) || empty($contact["phone"]) || empty($contact["body"]));

...constructs an 'either' argument - if either email or phone or body is blank, an error message pops up.

I don't know the syntax for "$fillerror = [either phone or email empty] or body empty" - can anyone help?

ps, for future reference, is $fillerror Smarty syntax, or php, or is it something specifically x-cart-y?

Cheers

Well, you could just make phone optional, email is required no matter what, especially if they are sending you an email... without it the mail wouldn't be sent.

You could do:

if(empty($contact["email"])) $contact["email"]="someemail@email.com";

But you'll need to remove the javascript client side check on the forms as well as in the $fillerror check.

hth.

Thanks, Boomer - I'll take your advice and keep it simple - I'll just make the phone number optional.
