[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

[D-Man22]

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

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

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

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

<?
//Now we check if form was submitted
if(isset($_POST['send'])){

$from = addslashes($_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.
