php form wont fwd email

bigtreble · 05-19-2006, 05:47 PM

I want my email address 1@mydomain.com to forward to two other email address: 2@google.com, 3@comcast.net

It works perfect via email.

But I have a php-form developed to send an email to #1...but #3 is never forwarded the message.

Am I forgetting something?

Thanks in advance.

I actually got the code from a NP post!...

<?php

//Start your PHP tags
foreach($_POST as $key => $val){
$$key = trim($val);
}
function em($ema){
if(!eregi('[a-z0-9]+[_a-z0-9-]*(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z?G0-9]+(-[a-z?G0-9]+)*(\.[a-z?G0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,4})$',
$ema, $ema_er)){
return 0;
} else {
return 1;
}
}
if(em($email) != 0){
$error = "Error The
email you entered is an invalid email address, Please input the correct email!";
include("feedback.php");

exit();
}
if((!$name) || (!$email) || (!$comments)) {
$error = " ";
include("feedback.php");
exit();
} else {
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$to = "1@mydomain.com";
$date = date("m/d/Y");
$time = date("h:i:s A");
$subject = "My .com form has a message for you";
$msg = "Feedback from $username.
@ $email

Here are their comments:
$comments \n\n

Came from: $ref
At: $ip| $date | $time";
$mailheaders = "From: 1@mydomain.com<1@mydomain.com> \n\r";
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/199071-php-form-wont-fwd-email.html
$mailheaders .= "X-Mailer: DP-Mail X-2 \n\r\n\r";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);
$error = "We have successfully sent your
contact form! ";
include("feedback.php");
exit();
} // Close PHP tags.

try this one, you may or may not need to change the subject:

Code:

<?php
if ($comments)
{ 
	
	$emess = "This is what the person said\n\n";
	$emess.= "-------------------------------------------------\n\n\n";
	$emess.= "Comments:\n $comments\n\n";
	$emess.= "Contact Info:\n $name\n";
	$ehead= "$email\r\n";
	$subj = "Contact Form";
	$mailsend=mail("1@mydomain.com","$subj","$emess","$ehead");
	
	echo "Thanks for the email.<br>";
	echo "I'll get back to you as soon as I can using the email you provided.";
}
else
{ 
  

	echo "<b>Contact Me</b><br><br>";
	echo '<form method="post" action="'.$PHP_SELF.'"> ';
	
	echo 'Name: <br>';
	echo '<input type="text" name="name"><br><br>';
	
	echo 'Contact Email: <br>';
	echo '<input type="text" name="email"><br><br>';
	
	echo 'Message: <br>';
	echo '<textarea name="comments" rows="5" cols="30"></textarea><br><br>';
	
	echo '<br>';
	echo '<input type="submit" value="Contact Me!"><br>';
	echo '</form>';

}


?>

The reason it only goes to 1@yourdomain.com is because the line that says where it goes to.

$to = "1@mydomain.com";

It can't magically know where else you want it to go.

Change the above line to:

$to = "1@mydomain.com, 2@mydomain.com, 3@mydomain.com";

Dan- Thanks, I understand that part.

But what I'm trying to do is set up 1@mydomain.com to forward the email to the other 2 addresses. This allows the public/bots to only see @mydomain instead of @comcast.com and @hotmail.com.

Weblord. Thank you, trying it now.

Dan · 05-19-2006, 06:22 PM

The bots can't see the PHP, so that part doesn't matter.

bigtreble · 05-19-2006, 06:26 PM

Good to know

WEBLORD IS THE MAN! Thank you sir, worked PERFECT.

weblord · 05-19-2006, 08:22 PM

the forwarding part do that via email setiings not via script the script i gave above try it saving it as .php and then view source, it won't show up your email address to be harvested by spammers, meanwhile do the redirect to 2 other email addresses via your email settings on cpanel.
