Prevent form submission if textarea contains links
-
Hi,
I have a form with one textarea field.
If this textarea contains any links (http, https, ftp, ftps …), I’d like to prevent form submission, and show an custom error message.
I have this code :add_filter( 'forminator_custom_form_submit_errors', function( $submit_errors, $form_id, $field_data_array ) { $field_name = 'textarea-1'; $submitted_fields = wp_list_pluck( $field_data_array, 'value', 'name' ); $pattern = '(ftp:\/\/|ftps:\/\/|http:\/\/|https:\/\/|www.|bit.ly)'; if( preg_match( $pattern, $submitted_fields[ $field_name ] ) ) { $submit_errors[][ $field_name ] = __( 'My custom error message.' ); } return $submit_errors; }, 10, 3 );
After some tests :
if textarea contains :http://www.link.com
=> Submission doesn’t work and my custom message is displayed
=> OK
but if textearea contains this :<a >mylink</a>
=> Form is submitted
Do you have an idea how to handle this case ?
Or is there a way to simply disallow all html tags in textarea fiels ?
I saw this ticket, but it’s an old one and I’m not sure this is still working.
