I want to set a Dynamic Header on mail header when i send mail. I don't want to do it with SMPT server and if it will be in codeigniter, so it will be greate. You will get idea what exactly i want by given image bellow.
from: Google < dynamic email#gmail.com >
My Code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
//Email information
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
//send email
mail($email, "$subject", $comment, "From:" . $email);
//Email response
echo "Thank you for contacting us!";
}
//if "email" variable is not filled out, display the form
else {

<?php } ?>
use like this:
mail(to,subject,message,headers,parameters);

Being so bad at PHP, I've decided to post here as a last resort.
I want to add a "who" variable to the message body of emails sent via PHP contact form. The form works fine for name, email and message but the "who" input I would like to be a part of the email message that comes through, as a way to communicate who is being referred.
I have tried to add $who=$_REQUEST['who']; as well as $who to the mail line but neither work, the latter doesn't even send an email at all.
<?php
$action=$_REQUEST['action'];
if ($action=="") /* display the contact form */
{
?>
<form action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your Name" value="" size="14"/>
<input name="email" type="text" placeholder="Your Email" value="" size="14"/>
<textarea name="who" placeholder="Who should we contact?" rows="1" cols="14"></textarea>
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Description" rows="2" cols="14"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" class="button special" value="SUBMIT"/>
</form>
<?php
}
else
{
$name=$_REQUEST['name'];
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$message=$_REQUEST['message'];
if (($name=="")||($email=="")||($message==""))
{
echo "All fields are required, please fill out the form again.";
}
else{
$from="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email";
$subject="Referral for ******* **";
mail("chris#********.com.au", $subject, $message, $from);
}
{
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.location.href ='../thanks.php';</script>";
}
}
?>
In PHP . is the concatenation operator which returns the concatenation of its right and left arguments
Try this
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] . "\n\rFrom: " . $_REQUEST['who'];
Ok, so I've got a contact form:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['subtest'])) {
$to = 'thomofawsome#gmail.com';
$name = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastName = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zip = $_POST['zip'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$Message = <<< STOP
From: $name $lastName
Email: $email
In: $city, $state, $zip
Comments: $comments
STOP;
$subject = "Contact Request";
$headers = 'From: system';
if (mail($to, $subject, $Message, $headers)) {
echo '<div id="thanks">Mail sent</div>';
exit();
}
else {
echo 'Mail Failed';
}
}
?>
<form name="contact_form" action="" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="subtest" value="true">
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname">
<br>
Email Address:<br>
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
City:<br>
<input type="text" name="city">
<br>
State:<br>
<input type="text" name="state">
<br>
Zip:<br>
<input type="text" name="zip">
<br>
Comments:<br>
<textarea name="comments"></textarea>
<br>
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
<br>
</form>
The problem is I want the echo mail sent correctly formatted (with a green color, positioned correctly on the page, etc.). As you can see, I've put it in a div. When I submit the form though, I'm redirected back to the form page, except the entire form and footer disappear, and Mail sent appears on the bottom of the page (correctly formatted).
Any ideas?
The exit() function prevents the rest of the script from executing, which includes your form and footer. Remove it and it will work.
if (mail($to, $subject, $Message, $headers)) {
echo '<div id="thanks">Mail sent</div>';
} else {
echo 'Mail Failed';
}
As Raidenance pointed out, if someone refreshes this page after posting the form it will resend the email address. A better solution to this problem is to post your contact form to another url (/contact/submit for instance) and on completion of the script execution at that url simply redirect back to the contact form with a parameter
header("Location:/contact?success=true");
Then on your contact form page:
if (isset($_GET['success']) && $_GET['success'] == "true") {
echo '<div id="thanks">Mail sent</div>';
} else {
echo 'Mail Failed';
}
This will prevent the issue of the user reloading and receiving the email multiple times.
Hey I have a simple coding issue and I am hoping someone can spot the error of my ways.
I have a contact page http://mattmcdougall.ca/contact
this page has a form that is connected to a form PHP.
it is half working, I receive the email with ONLY the name subject and recipient (me). I do not get the other information in the form. (phone number and content do not get placed in the email) ALSO, I want the website to bring the person filling out the form to http://mattmcdougall.ca/contactdone currently it goes to a blank form.php page
here is the form code and PHP code, please feel free to clean up PHP as I used a template I found online.
<form action="form.php" method="post" class="formtext">
<input name="Name" type="text" value="enter name" maxlength="60"><br>
<input name="Email" value="enter email" type="text"><br>
<input name="Phone Number" value="enter phone#"type="text"><br><br>
<textarea name="Interest" cols="60" rows="10">Interest?</textarea><br><input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit"><form

You're going to need to change the name of your form elements to match the params that you're expecting to receive via $_POST.
Right now you have (for example):
<input name="Phone Number" value="enter phone#"type="text"><br><br>
But you're going to need to name it:
<input name="phone" value="enter phone#"type="text"><br><br>
The name attribute is what is going to be submitted via the form to your PHP script. You need to use the same name on both sides.
Also what is the $phone variable in your mail function call? Those areas are reserved for additional headers and not just $phone. You'll need to concatenate the phone number into the $mail_body like so (with additional formatting of course):
$mail_body = $mail_body . " " . $phone;
This is the correct signature:
bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )
Edit: In addition to all of this, your $header is also wrong as it's trying to use the $Name variable which does not exist. The $name variable does exist.
I think this below should solve your problems.
Form:
<form action="form.php" method="post" class="formtext">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Enter Name" maxlength="60"><br>
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Enter Email"><br>
<input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="Enter Phone #"><br><br>
<textarea name="interest" cols="60" rows="10" placeholder="Interest?"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
form.php
<?php
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$interest = $_POST["interest"];
$to = "matt#mattmcdougall.ca";
$subject = "Interested Client";
$headers = "From: {$name} <{$email}>\r\n";
$mail_body = <<<EMAIL
Name: {$name}
Phone: {$phone}
Message:
{$interest}
EMAIL;
$mail_success = mail($to, $subject, $mail_body, $headers);
if($mail_success) {
echo "http://mattmcdougall.ca/contactdone.html"; // are you trying to redirect to here?
} else {
echo "Sorry, something went wonky! Please try again!";
}
?>
HTTP POST variables are case sensitive, and the names of the input fields do not match that of those in PHP. <input type="text" name="datanamehere" /> with $_POST["datanamehere"]. Like what other answers said:
HTML:
<form action="form.php" method="post" class="formtext">
<input name="name" placeholder="Full name" type="text" maxlength="60"><br>
<input name="email" placeholder="Email" type="email"><br>
<input name="phone" placeholder="Phone number" type="tel"><br><br>
<textarea name="interest" placeholder="Interested in?" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Notice I changed the value to placeholder, and used type="email" and type="tel".
form.php
$name = $_POST['name']; //senders name
$email = $_POST['email']; //senders e-mail adress
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$recipient = "matt#mattmcdougall.ca"; //recipient
$mail_body = $_POST['interest']; //mail body
$subject = "interested client"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n";
if (mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header)) //mail command :)
'http://mattmcdougall.ca/contactdone.html';
else
echo "Sorry Something Went Wonky, Please Try Again!";
As they said, mail() is a function returning a boolean. Wrap it around if to check for success.
Your element names do not match the ones in the PHP code and your form is not properly closed using .
<form action="form.php" method="post" class="formtext">
<input name="name" type="text" value="enter name" maxlength="60"><br>
<input name="email" type="text" value="enter email"><br>
<input name="phone" type="text" value="enter phone#"><br><br>
<textarea name="Interest" cols="60" rows="10">Interest?</textarea><br>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
mail is a function, so checking it in the 'if' by just writing mail isn't going to work.
try this instead
if(mail()):
// go to contactdone.html
header('Location: http://www.google.com');
exit();
else:
echo "Sorry Something Went Wonky, Please Try Again!";
endif;
Couple of things you can try,
if(mail)'http://mattmcdougall.ca/contactdone.html' is not going to do
anything, try using Header('Location
http://mattmcdougall.ca/contactdone.html')
Whenever you use $_POST the parameter name inside the [''] need to
match your input names (Example: <input name="interest" type="text">
would be $_POST['interest'])
If you want to show text inside an input use placeholder="enter
phone#" instead of value.
I have a simple html contact form, and the php script to send the emails. It's working good, but I want the result (The email has been sent...) to show in the same page, without changing the page. How can I do this?
HTML:
<form name="contact" action="includes/send.php" id="contact_form">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name" /> <br />
<input type="email" placeholder="Email Address" name="email" /> <br />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" rows="8"></textarea> <br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit_btn" value="Send" />
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = 'amar123syla#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Message from AMARSYLA.COM';
$message = 'FROM: '.$name.' Email: '.$email.'Message: '.$message;
$headers = 'From: amar123syla#gmail.com';
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { // this line checks that we have a valid email address
mail($to, $subject, $message) or die('Error sending Mail'); //This method sends the mail.
echo "Your email was sent!"; // success message
}
?>
jQuery.post('email.php', score, function(result) {
jQuery('#textBlock').html(result);
});
Something like that should work(Result is the echo in your php in this case)
A preffered method is to encode your php result to json so you've got a little more control over it in Javascript though.
jQuery.post('email.php', score, function(result) {
if (result.result == true) {
jQuery('#textBlock').html(result.text);
}
});
And in the email.php:
$result['result'] = true;
$result['text'] = 'Message has been sent';
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($result);
Here see if this works:
<form name="contact" action="**submit to same page**" id="contact_form">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit_btn" value="Send" />
</form>
Then for the php (on the same page as the email form) just add if submit
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
run your email script, add javascript, etc.
echo "Your email was sent!"; // success message
}
}
?>
I'm trying to set up a simple contact form. Everything is styled correctly, but when I hit submit it doesn't take me anywhere, just attempts to open contact.php. I think there's something missing in the code that actually sends the message out. I'm sure it's something fairly simple that I'm missing, but this is a little over my head. Any help is appreciated.
<form action="mail.php" method="POST">
<p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
<p>Company</p> <input type="text" name="company">
<p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
<p>Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone">
<p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "______#gmail.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
$to ='______#gmail.com';
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've received your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
EDIT: I was able to receive an email finally after adding the complete url for mail.php...however none of the information except for the message was included. The sender was listed as Apache...how can I assure that information entered in the forms will be included in the email? Thanks for all the help thus far.
since you are specifying code within the same page, you can omit action in your form.
Also, put a condition to run PHP once the script has been run.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$formcontent="From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "______#gmail.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
$to ='______#gmail.com';
$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've received your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
} }
?>
<form action = "<?= $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>"method="POST">
<p>Name</p> <input type="text" name="name">
<p>Company</p> <input type="text" name="company">
<p>Email</p> <input type="text" name="email">
<p>Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone">
<p>Message</p><textarea name="message" rows="4" cols="25"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">
</form>
Hope it helps!
EDIT: I am not sure what is the current filename but to keep it dynamic, I have mentioned $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] which is not a recommended usage.
However, Try it! :)
