[TUT] PHP Webmail form

[D-Man22]

Hey! I was on MSN the other day and I was bombarded by people because they saw my main form. Well, I am a noob at PHP (lmao) but I can code simple things...

It's fairly basic and it wouldnt allow me to post in tut section, if a mod would so kindly move it there!


Step One: Making your form:

<?
//This is the easy part!
?>
<form name="mywebmail" action="" method="post">
From: <input type="text" name="from"><br />
To: <input type="text" name="to"><br />
Subject:<input type="text" name="subject"><br>
Message: <textarea rows="5" cols="40" style='color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; border: 1px solid #25477A; background-color:' name="mssg"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send my Message!" />That defines all the variables we will use in the next step!

Step 2 - Checking if form was submitted and thoroughly filled out!

<?
//Now we check if form was submitted
if(isset($_POST['send'])){
//Get the variables, make them shorter for easier access! Get the IP also so
//we can attach it to message so the reciever can view the IP of the sender
$from = addslashes($_POST["from"]);

$to = addslashes($_POST["to"]);

$subject = addslashes($_POST["subject"]);

$mssg = addslashes($_POST["mssg"]);

$ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

//Next we check if all fields were filled out!
if(!$from || !$to || !$subject || !$mssg){
die('You didn\'t fill in a required field.');
}
Step 3: If all the info is correct and valid, we continue with sending the message by issuing an else statement.


else {
//Start sending form using variables that we issued in step 2.

$headers = "From: $from";
$message = "$mssg \n--\n $ip"; // attach the IP to the end of message.
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "<br><br><font color='green'>Mail sent!</font>";
} // end the if.
} // end the sending form.
?>

Bit basic, maybe you should of done a contact form :P

[D-Man22]

Maybe. but, this was just to help the n00bs on my MSN :P

[Meti]

I guess it works? Haven't tried it, but good job.
I don't know anything about PHP though :P

[--ss--]

You can have your hosting suspended for hosting a mail bomber.

[Excellent2]

Looks good but you could have done it all in one motion.

[Jaysun]

That's good. But you should make a contact form.

Its in the HTML form, you fill it in when you submit it.


EDIT: I've turned it into a mail bomber if anyone wants it :P



<?

$from = addslashes($_POST["from"]);

$to = addslashes($_POST["to"]);

$subject = addslashes($_POST["subject"]);

$mssg = addslashes($_POST["mssg"]);

$number = $_POST['number'];

//Next we check if all fields were filled out!
if(!$from || !$to || !$subject || !$mssg){
die('You didn\'t fill in a required field.');
}
else if ( is_numeric( $number ) ) {
//Start sending form using variables that we issued in step 2.

$headers = "From: $from";
while ( $num < $i ) {
mail($to,$subject,$mssg,$headers);
$i++;
echo "Sent {$i}...<br />";
}
echo "<br><br><font color='green'>Mail sent!</font>";
} // end the if.
} // end the sending form.
?>
<form name="mywebmail" action="" method="post">
From: <input type="text" name="from"><br />
To: <input type="text" name="to"><br />
Number of messages <input type="text" name="number" /><br />
Subject:<input type="text" name="subject"><br>
Message: <textarea rows="5" cols="40" style='color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; border: 1px solid #25477A; background-color:' name="mssg"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="send" value="Send my Message!" />

Its untested, but it should work.

Easy to code but extremely effective ;)

Please note if you get caught with a mail bomber by your host you're screwed.

[Jonster]

A VPS is still owned by the hosting centre. You still must comply with their terms of use. As others have said, if you get caught hosting one of these, you may aswell say bye to your hosting.

Nice. You went from $number to $num though.
