Hi all,

I'm hoping to add an extra field (Phone) to an existing php contact form used in OptimizePress. I'm having some issues trying to get it working mainly because I'm not a coder. Was wondering if someone can quickly give me a hand just to add this one field?

Thanks in advance!

Code:
<?php $errors = '';
$myemail = '[email protected]';//<-----Put Your email address here.
if(empty($_POST['name'])  || 
   empty($_POST['email']))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required. Press the back button in your browser to re-enter your information";
}


$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 


if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i", 
$email_address))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address. Press the back button in your browser to re-enter your information";
}


if( empty($errors))
{
    $to = $myemail; 
    $email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
    $email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
    " Here are the details:\n Name: $name \n Email: $email_address"; 
    
    $headers = "From: $myemail\n"; 
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
    
    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    //redirect to the 'thank you' page
    header('Location: http://www.thankyoupage.com');//<-----Enter your thank you page URL here
} 
?>

Arrrgh sorry.
I had typed out the answer but as I'm new to the forum it won't let me - even when i omit any URL,email addresses and images.

It's a simple one so I'm sure someone with more permissions can help you out
 
Sorry, I made a reply but somehow the formatting got f*ked up... Will try again later if its still not solved.
EDIT:
Code:
<?php $errors = '';
$myemail = '[email protected]';//<-----Put Your email address here.
if(empty($_POST['name'])  || 
   empty($_POST['email']) ||
   empty($_POST['Phone'])   //<---throws error if the user hasn't filled out the phone field. delete line if its optional
   )
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required. Press the back button in your browser to re-enter your information";
}


$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 
$phone = $_POST['Phone']; //<---declares the $phone variable with the content of the form field called 'Phone'


if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i", 
$email_address))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address. Press the back button in your browser to re-enter your information";
}


if( empty($errors))
{
    $to = $myemail; 
    $email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
    $email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
    " Here are the details:\n Name: $name \n Email: $email_address \n Phone: $phone"; //adds the user's phone number to the email
    
    $headers = "From: $myemail\n"; 
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
    
    mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
    //redirect to the 'thank you' page
    header('Location: http://www.thankyoupage.com');//<-----Enter your thank you page URL here
}
