form failing validation

Hi Ray, I'm having a problem with the attached page, when I submit the form with all fields completed all the server validations are failing. I have a similar form on the same site which works fine, have checked to make sure the code blocks are in the correct order but can't see what the problem might be. Would you mind taking a look for me?

Does it give an error message associated with the failed validation? Having a form element with the name "Name" is a potential problem, but I'm not sure if that is it. I can't spot anything else though. Can you give more details on what you see that makes you think it failed the server validation?

All my Validation Show If fields appear, the form doesn't redirect to the success message and I don't receive an email. I've added a link to page in the PM so you can try it.

That is the clue I needed to figure it out. The validation is using $_GET to refer to the form elements, but the form has method="post"

I think if you update that $_GET references on the page to $_POST, that should fix the problem.

Yes, that sorted it! Only issue I've found now is that the select list is set to allow the user to select multiple options, but on the email only one option is recorded. How can I get it include all the selected options in the email? Copy of email is attached.

In order to allow multi-select with php you have to name the form element with brackets. So instead of name="event", it needs to be name="event[]".

That will submit the events selected as an array instead of a text value.

Now that you have an array, you can bind it. Our form bindings should allow you to add it to the page comma-separated. To do it manually, you can chage:

php:
<?php echo((isset($_POST["event"]))?$_POST["event"]:""?>

to:

php:
<?php echo((isset($_POST["event"]))?implode(", ",$_POST["event"]):""?>
