<?php
function eFormOnValidate( &$fields, &$vMsg, &$rMsg ){
	/*
		&$fields - (as reference) an associative array of field and placeholder values.
		&$vMsg - (as reference) a numeric array of validation error messages.
		&$rMsg - (as Reference) a numeric array of missing required fields.
	*/
		if($fields['email'] !== $fields['myconfirmemailaddress']) $vMsg[15] = "Different values in Email and Confirm Email fields";
		return $vMsg;
	}
?>

                <tr>
                  <td height="25" colspan="4">Email Address</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td colspan="4"><input name="email" type="text" id="Email" size="35"  eform="Email:email:1:"></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td height="25" colspan="4">Confirm Email Address </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                  <td height="25" colspan="4"><input name="myconfirmemailaddress" type="text" id="Confirm Email" size="35"  eform="Confirm Email:email:1::#FUNCTION eFormOnValidate"></td>
                </tr>

if I submit form with first field: Email: [email protected], Confirm Email: (nothing), I get error msg from $vMsg[15].
If I submit form with [email protected]/[email protected] or [email protected]/[email protected] or (nothing)/[email protected], i see

I’ve used this in the past, and I generally append the field name to $rMsg and simply "return" from the validation function.

Try this and let us know if it works:

<?php
function eFormOnValidate( &$fields, &$vMsg, &$rMsg ){
		if($fields['email'] !== $fields['myconfirmemailaddress']) {
		    $rMsg[] = 'email'; // Required field
		    $vMsg[] = "Different values in Email and Confirm Email fields"; // Associated validation message
		}
		return;
	}
?>

Hope that helps! cool

You are confusing the eformOnvalidate event with the #FUNCTION .. validation rule.

#FUNCTION - Name of a function. The function should expect one parameter (the posted value) and return either TRUE or FALSE.

In your case you want to compare 2 fields, which you can’t do in a #FUNCTION rule, so scrap the "#FUNCTION eFormOnValidate" bit in your form and replace it with

<input name="myconfirmemailaddress" type="text" id="Confirm Email" size="35"  eform="Confirm Email:email:1">

Then use your validate function in the eformOnValidate event:

[!eForm? ... &eformOnValidate=`eFormOnValidate` ... !]

The eformOnvalidate event is fired when all of eform’s native validation has finished. As far a I can see so quickly your function should then simply work, although I’d replace $vMsg[15]="..." with $vMsg[]="..."
