Redisplaying a form with fields filled in - forms

I need a bit of help with redisplaying a form.
Basically, currently a user will fill out my contact form, the form and it's contents are passed to my verification page, and if the recaptcha was entered correctly it goes to a Thank You page.
When the recaptcha is entered INCORRECTLY, I want to redisplay the contact form with the fields already filled out. How do I do this? (As you'll see below, it currently goes to google on incorrect captcha)
Here is my verification code. Any help would be great:
<?php require('sbsquared.class.php'); ?>
<?php
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$privatekey = "myprivatekey";
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
// What happens when the CAPTCHA was entered incorrectly
header("Location: http://www.google.com"); <--- this is the bit that I want to redisplay the form with fields already filled out.
} else {
$sb = New SBSquared;
$name = $_POST['FullName'];
$post_keys = array_keys($_POST);
$my_db_string = "<table>";
$ip_address = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
foreach($post_keys as $field)
{
if($_POST[$field] != "" && $field != "submit_y" && $field != "submit_x" && $field != "submit_x")
{
$my_db_string .= "<tr><td><b>".$field.":</b></td><td>";
if($field == "Email")
{
$my_db_string .= ''.$_POST['Email'].'';
}
else
{
$my_db_string .= $_POST[$field];
}
$my_db_string .= "</td></tr>";
}
}
$my_db_string .= "<tr><td><b>IP ADDRESS LOGGED: </b></td><td>".$ip_address."</td></tr>";
$my_db_string .= "</table>";
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc() != 1)
{
$my_db_string = addslashes($my_db_string);
$name = addslashes($name);
}
$conn = $sb->openConnection();
$dts = time();
$sql = "INSERT INTO `contact_queries` VALUES ('', '$name', '$my_db_string', 'n/a', 0, $dts)";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$content = '<div id="main_middle">';
$content .= '<span class="title">'.$sb->dt('Contact').'</span>
<p>'.$sb->dt('Thank you for your enquiry. We will contact you shortly.').'</p>
</div>';
// admin auto email.
$dts = date("d.m.y h:ia", time());
$admin_content = "New contact query at $dts";
$admin_content .= "\n\n--\n\n \r\n\r\n";
mail("email address", 'NOTIFICATION: new query', $admin_content, 'From: email address');
$FILE=fopen("./log/auto-contact.txt","a");
fwrite($FILE, $admin_content);
fclose($FILE);
echo pageHeader($sb);
echo pageContent($sb, $content);
echo pageFooter($sb);
}
?>

You probably already answered this for yourself, but if not you can set ReCaptcha to validate prior to submitting the form, much the same as HTML5 validation. It just won't let the user submit until the Captcha is correct. Now, I don't know if it will refresh the captcha if it is incorrect but most of the time I see people putting it into an iFrame so it doesn't refresh the page when refreshing the captcha.
As an alternative, you can use sessions to keep the data filled in.

How to make phone number field a unique identifier like email in OSclass

I dont want users to register thesame phone number more than once just like email in OSclass registration page. I tried to duplicate and tweak the code for email like the one below but after clicking the submit button i got an error, thanks in advance i dont mind a github plugin for this
if( !osc_validate_email($input['s_email']) ) {
$flash_error .= _m('The email is not valid') . PHP_EOL;

Two contact forms, send to two different email addresses

I got two contact forms on my website. On in the contact section, and one in the careers section. I want to receive both forms in different email adresses.
<?php
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->setFrom('adres1','test');
$mail->Subject = 'Contactverzoek via careerspagina.';
$html = "Er is een contactverzoek gedaan via de careerspagina.<br>";
$html .= "<br>";
$html .= "<b>Naam:</b> " . $_POST['name']."<br>";
if(isset($_POST['lastname'])) {
$html .= '<b>Achternaam: </b> ' . $_POST['lastname']."<br>";
}
$html .= "<b>E-mail:</b> " . $_POST['email']."<br>";
if(isset($_POST['telefoon'])) {
$html .= '<b>Telefoon: </b> ' . $_POST['telefoon']."<br>";
}
if(isset($_POST['onderwerp'])) { //FIX NOG!!!
$html .= '<b>Onderwerp: </b> ' . $_POST['onderwerp']."<br>";
}
if(isset($_POST['Werkervaring'])) {
$html .= '<b>Werkervaring: </b> ' . $_POST['Werkervaring']."<br>";
}
if(isset($_POST['Functie'])) {
$html .= '<b>Functie: </b> ' . $_POST['Functie']."<br>";
}
if(isset($_POST['Opleidingsniveaus'])) {
$html .= '<b>Opleidingsniveaus: </b> ' . $_POST['Opleidingsniveaus']."<br>";
}
if(isset($_POST['comment'])) {
$html .= '<b>Bericht: </b> ' . $_POST['comment']."<br>";
}
$html .= "<br>";
if (isset($_FILES['resume']) &&
$_FILES['resume']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['resume']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['resume']['name']);
}
if (isset($_FILES['letter']) &&
$_FILES['letter']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
$mail->AddAttachment($_FILES['letter']['tmp_name'],
$_FILES['letter']['name']);
}
$mail->msgHTML($html);
$mail->addAddress('adres1', 'Info ');
$mail->addBCC('adres1', 'Test ');
if(!$mail->send())
{
echo "0";
}
else
{
echo "1";
}
This is my code, and everything seems to work.
So once again. I want to keep sending this contact form to email A. But There needs to be made and else statement which sends the other contact form to email B.
i'm very new to PHP. Excuse me if i'm not clear.
One simple solution is to send a form parameter indicating which email address should be used. Then you check the POST variable for that parameter in an if statement and set the correct email address to be used.
$to = "forma#example.com";
if($_POST['form'] === "formB") {
$to = "formb#example.com";
}
$mail->addAddress($to, 'Recipient name');
Add hidden inputs in your forms named "form" and set the value to either "formA" or "formB":
<input type="hidden" name="form" value="formA">
Do not set the receiving email address in the form and use that since it can easily be abused to send spam from your server.

What's wrong with my Paypal IPN? It works on Sandbox but not live

so I've been trying to set up Paypal IPN, and been trying tonnes of different solutions to get my IPN to validate. For some reason, it works fine when I'm using Sanbox paypal, but as soon as I try to use the live version, nothing happens. No error logs, no IPN logs, nothing. I'm just lost.
I was wondering if any new eyes would spot the problem. Here's my paypal.php class:
<?php
session_start();
$base = "/var/www/html/";
include("db.php");
require_once('paypal.class.php'); // include the class file
$p = new paypal_class; // initiate an instance of the class
//$p->paypal_url = 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'; // testing paypal url
$p->paypal_url = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'; // paypal url
// setup a variable for this script (ie: 'http://www.micahcarrick.com/paypal.php')
$this_script = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// if there is not action variable, set the default action of 'process'
if (empty($_GET['action'])) $_GET['action'] = 'process';
if (empty($_GET['amm'])) $_GET['amm'] = '1';
$EMAIL = 'emailaddresshere';
switch ($_GET['action']) {
case 'process': // Process and order...
if (empty($_GET['prod'])){
header("Location: confirm-product.php"); //Was donate.php (but no file for that, so might be confirm-product)
exit;
}
if (empty($_GET['username'])){
if($_GET['action'] = 'process'){
header("Location: confirm-product.php"); // was donate.php as well
exit;
}
}
//if(!isset($_SESSION["username"])) {
// header("Location: login.php");
// exit;
//}
//include("include.php");
//die("donation is temporarily disabled!");
// There should be no output at this point. To process the POST data,
// the submit_paypal_post() function will output all the HTML tags which
// contains a FORM which is submited instantaneously using the BODY onload
// attribute. In other words, don't echo or printf anything when you're
// going to be calling the submit_paypal_post() function.
// This is where you would have your form validation and all that jazz.
// You would take your POST vars and load them into the class like below,
// only using the POST values instead of constant string expressions.
// For example, after ensureing all the POST variables from your custom
// order form are valid, you might have:
//
// $p->add_field('first_name', $_POST['first_name']);
// $p->add_field('last_name', $_POST['last_name']);

Access Form values in my Symfony executeAction backend

So one of my pages consists of a quiz form that has several questions of type multiple choice, the choices are specified as radio buttons. I have been scanning the Symfony documentation to find out how to access form field values inputted by the user. Thing is, this isn;t a doctrine or propel based form, and neither do I require the values to be stored in the database, hence executing a $form->save() makes little sense to me. But I do require access to specific values of my form in my backend once the user hits submit.
Most of Symfony documentation that i have run into doesn't necessarily explain how this can be done. I would assume it would be something to the effect of :
$request->getParameter( 'radio_choices_id selected value ').
Thanks to all who read this and Cheers to the ones who respond to it :)

Hm, it is very simple if I understand your question right)
For widget:
$this->widgetSchema['name'] = new sfWidgetFormChoice(array('choices' => array('ch_1', 'ch_2')));
Ok,in action:
$this->form = new FaqContactForm();
if ($request->isMethod('post')) {
$this->form->bind($request->getParameter($this->form->getName()));
if ($this->form->isValid()) {
$your_val=$this->form->getValue('name');
//or
$your_val=$this->form['name']->getValue());
}
}
In backend in protected function processForm(sfWebRequest $request, sfForm $form)
you have
$form->bind($request->getParameter($form->getName()), $request->getFiles($form->getName()));
if ($form->isValid())
{
$notice = $form->getObject()->isNew() ? 'The item was created successfully.' : 'The item was updated successfully.';
try {
$product = $form->save();
} catch (Doctrine_Validator_Exception $e) {
$errorStack = $form->getObject()->getErrorStack();
$message = get_class($form->getObject()) . ' has ' . count($errorStack) . " field" . (count($errorStack) > 1 ? 's' : null) . " with validation errors: ";
foreach ($errorStack as $field => $errors) {
$message .= "$field (" . implode(", ", $errors) . "), ";
}
$message = trim($message, ', ');
$this->getUser()->setFlash('error', $message);
return sfView::SUCCESS;
}
Before $product = $form->save(); try
$your_val=$form->getValue('name');
//or
$your_val=$form['name']->getValue());
