Contact Form Help

DJL2K · 08-18-2006, 12:10 PM

Okay, so I've got a contact form for my portfolio. The code looks alright but the form won't send the emails that are submitted
contact.php

PHP Code:

  <?php

$youremail = "matt@matt-license.com";

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$thankyou = "Thank you. Your Email has been sent; I'll try to respond ASAP.";

 
while($_POST['submit']) {

    if( $email == "" ) {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No email address added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    elseif($name == "") {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No name added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    elseif($message == "") {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No message added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    else {

        $msg = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $message);

        $msg = ereg_replace('\\\"', "\"", $msg);

        $message1 = "from: $name<br />email: $email<br />message:<br />$msg1";

 
        mail($youremail, $subject, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>$thankyou</td></tr>");

        }

    }

?>

</table>

</form>

You don't need a while loop, you can use the isset() function with an if statement. For example:

Code:

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
     //Other code
}

Now the problem lies in the mail function. You need to specify the user's email address, not yours.

Code:

mail($youremail, $subject, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");

The bolded part should not be $youremail, but the variable $email (or $_POST['email']) since that represents the contacter's email address.

The script is supposed to send it to him. He has it right.

PHP Code:

  <?php

$youremail = "matt@matt-license.com";

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

$thankyou = "Thank you. Your Email has been sent; I'll try to respond ASAP.";

 
if($_POST['submit']) {

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $message = $_POST['message'];

    if( $email == "" ) {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No email address added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    elseif($name == "") {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No name added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    elseif($message == "") {

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>No message added. Please go back.<br/></td></tr>");

        }

    else {

        $msg = ereg_replace("\\\'", "'", $message);

        $msg = ereg_replace('\\\"', "\"", $msg);

        $message1 = "from: $name<br />email: $email<br />message:<br />$msg1";

        $headers = 'From: ' . $email . "\r\n" .

                   'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n"

        mail($youremail, $subject, $msg, "From: $email\r\nReply-to: $email\r\n");

        echo("<tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align:text-align:center; '>$thankyou</td></tr>");

        }

    }

?>

</table>
