[TUT] Making a contact form.

[DJ_CJ]

in sendmail.php i had to change :
if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
to:
if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($main )) {
but other then that its great

[Drompo]

This is an updated code. Thanks to DJ CJ for pointing this out

Now Call this sendmail.php

<?php
if(!$email== "" && (!strstr($email,"@") || !strstr($email,"."))) 
{
die ("Invalid Email Address"); 
}
if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($main)) {
die ("You didn't fill in all the fields");
}

$subject = $reason; 

$message = "Reason: $reason \n
Message: $main \n 
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
";

$from = "From: $email\r\n";


mail("YourEmail", $subject, $message, $from);

?>

Do Not edit that code unless you know what your doing.
Where it says

mail("YourEmail", $subject, $message, $from);

Edit Youremail to The email address you want it to send it to.

There you go.

How are you declaring $email etc? Post? Get? File?

[Drompo]

The Form is post

[Blob]

And do you have

$email = $_POST["email"];

[Drompo]

The input form sends the data to sendmail.php

[Mentor]

How is it getting the post data? or are you neglecting to take in to account alot of peoples php set up doesnt have the automatic post/get vars to there names transformations on as there a securty risk? Hence meaning the script wont work on most setups o.0

Mentor said what I was trying to say in one post, well done.

Heres update code for you:

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php">
Email Address: <input type="text" name="email" size="30" /><br />
Contact Reason:<br />
<select name="reason" size="1">
<option value="Website Problem">Website Problem</option>
<option value="Billing Problem">Billing Problem</option>
<option value="Technical Support">Technical Support </option>
<option value="Report A Staff Member ">Report A Staff Member</option>
<option value="Other">Other (Please Specify in message)</option> 
</select>
<textarea name="main" rows="4" cols="30"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>

<?php
$email = $_POST["email"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$main = $_POST["name"];
$reason = $_POST["reason"];
$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];

if(!$email== "" && (!strstr($email,"@") || !strstr($email,"."))) 
{
die ("Invalid Email Address"); 
}
if(empty($name) || empty($email) || empty($main)) {
die ("You didn't fill in all the fields");
}

$subject = $reason; 

$message = "Reason: $reason \n
Message: $main \n 
From: $email \n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
";

$from = "From: $email\r\n";


mail("YourEmail", $subject, $message, $from);

?>

That should work?
