You can // remove this without effecting how the FDF data is generated. echo'<pre>POST '; print_r($_POST);echo '</pre>'; if(isset($_POST['Text2'])){ // the name field was submitted $pat='`[^a-z0-9\s]+$`i'; if(empty($_POST['Text2']) || preg_match($pat,$_POST['Text2'])){ // no value was submitted or something other than a // number, letter or space was included die('Invalid input for Text2 field.'); }else{ // if this passed our tests, this is safe $data['Text2']=$_POST['Text2']; } if(!isset($_POST['Text3'])){ // Why this? What if someone is spoofing form submissions // to see how your script works? Only allow the script to // continue with expected data, don't be lazy and insecure ;) die('You did not submit the correct form.'); } // Check your data for ALL FIELDS that you expect, ignore ones you // don't care about.
