Hi everyone, I'm new to programming and I'm doing an online registration form for my project. I have a problem with my form. After submitting my form, a confirmation page will show up with the information displayed on the page. When I click submit on the confirmation page, It is suppose to submit the data into the database. However I get HTTP 500 internal error The page cannot be displayed. I'm using ODBC for my connection and the connection is working as I can submit and retrieve information from the database using codes for other projects.
This is the code for the form and confirmation page
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
?>
<?php
function checkphone() {
global $tel;
$phone = $_POST['hometel'];
if (!preg_match('/^[0-9]{8}$/', $phone)) {
$tel = '<font color="red"><b>Your telephone number is invalad</b></font>';
$GLOBALS['tel'] = $tel; }
else{
$GLOBALS['showtel'] = "true";
}
}
function checkemail() {
global $mail;
$email = $_POST['email'];
if (!preg_match('/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([a-zA-Z0-9\.\\+=_-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+([a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+)+$/', $email)) {
$mail = '<font color="red"><b>Your Email is invalid</b></font>';
$GLOBALS['mail'] = $mail; }
else
{
$GLOBALS['showmail'] = "true";
}
}
if($_POST['submit'])
{
checkphone();
checkemail();
}
if(!$showtel||!$showmail){
?>
