Hi there,
I am trying to create a "refer a friend" form for a website I am launching soon but somewhere something broke...:( It worked when I only had 5 emails fields but then I realized I would need to capture the name of the referred people as well. After I added that I keep receiving the message "Please fill in the required fields". I can't seem to see why it is doing that.
To be honest I'm a complete PHP noob and sort of patched all of the code together from various scripts I found on the web.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point out the problem to me.
Here is the html code:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><label for="userName" class="nameCref">Your Name: <span class="red">*</span></label></td>
<td><label for="userEmail" class="emailCref">Your Email Address: <span class="red">*</span></label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input id="userName" name="userName" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="userEmail" name="userEmail" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><label>Your Friend's Name:</label></td>
<td><label>Your Friend's Email:</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="name1 email1" class="nameCref">#1 <span class="red">*</span></label></td>
<td><input id="name1" name="name1" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="email1" name="email1" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="name2 email2" class="nameCref">#2 <span class="red">*</span></label></td>
<td><input id="name2" name="name2" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="email2" name="email2" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="name3 email3" class="nameCref">#3</label></td>
<td><input id="name3" name="name3" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="email3" name="email3" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="name4 email4" class="nameCref">#4</label></td>
<td><input id="name4" name="name4" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="email4" name="email4" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="name5 email5" class="nameCref">#5</label></td>
<td><input id="name5" name="name5" class="text" /></td>
<td><input id="email5" name="email5" class="text" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="submit">
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Click Here to Refer Your Friends!" id="refer_submit" /></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>

?>As you will probably see the script is supposed to capture all the information and then send three emails. One to me with the referrals. One to each of the referred people. And one to the referrer.
Please let me know if you need more info.
