Issue with contact form (html and php): 405 not allowed
(1 answer)
Closed 4 years ago.
I'm trying to make a very basic contact form in PHP. I'm using MAMP to test it. For some reason, however, the form doesn't work: when I fill in the form and press the "submit" button, I am redirected to index.html?mailsend but I don't receive any email! What am I doing wrong?
my HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="contactform.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Full Name">
<input type="text" name="mail" placeholder="Your e-mail">
<input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject">
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
<button type="submit" name="submit">Send e-mail</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
my PHP code:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['mail'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$mailTo = "tomms1998#gmail.com";
$headers = "From: ".$mailFrom;
$txt = "You have received an e-mail from ".$name.".\n\n".$message;
mail($mailTo, $subject, $txt, $headers);
header("Location: index.html?mailsend");
}
?>
You have to configure SMTP on your server. You can use G Suite SMTP by Google for free:
<?php
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
// Send mail using Gmail
if($send_using_gmail){
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "your-gmail-account#gmail.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "your-gmail-password"; // GMAIL password
}
// Typical mail data
$mail->AddAddress($email, $name);
$mail->SetFrom($email_from, $name_from);
$mail->Subject = "My Subject";
$mail->Body = "Mail contents";
try{
$mail->Send();
echo "Success!";
} catch(Exception $e){
// Something went bad
echo "Fail :(";
}
?>

My contact form instead to send message download on computer as php file. I uploaded my site to netfly but stil doesnt work.
Can anybody help and give me a hint where is problem?
On XAMPP im getting blank page and mail is not sent. When I uploaded site on netfly site works fine but contact from when click submit start download php file where is code writen for controling contact form.5 day im trying to find solution for this problem and im geting tired :D So if anybody can help...
you are having some spell mistake in your form tag, first of all correct the method spell in your code as it is not correct so it can't redirect and post your data to contact form.
mail library contains various function.
for example:
<?php require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'your_smtp_domain.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#example.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->From = 'from#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('john#example.net', 'John doe'); // Add a recipient
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
this can works for you if you use library.
I created a simple form on my page and now I tried to add php script to sending email. Unfortunately it does not work. After clicking on the button, I want the user to remain on my side without redirection.
mail_sender.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "someone#gmail.com";
$from = $_POST['email'];
$message = " You received the fallowing message:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
mail($to,$message,$from);
echo "Mail Sent. Thank you, we will contact you shortly.";
}
?>
HTML
<form action="mail_sender.php" method="post">
<textarea id="email" name="email" rows="1" cols="30" placeholder="Type your email"></textarea>
<textarea id="formContent" name="message" rows="6" cols="30" placeholder="Type your message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Send">
</form>
First of all name attribute is missing in your submit button. And php mail function is wrong.
It should be:
$subject = "Your subject";
$headers = "From: $from ";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
instead of:
mail($to,$message,$from);
PHP's default mail() function doesn't work most of the times, especially with GMail. This is because your e-mail needs to be formatted in a special way to be accpeted by Google's mail server. You'll be better off using a mail library like PHPMailer.
Here's how to send an e-mail using PHPMailer from a GMail Account.
$mail = new PHPMailer();
// ---------- adjust these lines ---------------------------------------
$mail->Username = "xxx#gmail.com"; // your GMail user name
$mail->Password = "passwd"; // your GMail Password
$mail->AddAddress("yyy#gmail.com"); // recipients email
$mail->FromName = "Your Name"; // readable name
$mail->Subject = "Subject";
$mail->Body = "Body";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsSMTP(); // use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->From = $mail->Username;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "mail sent";
}
I tried everything and now i received message SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server and SMTP connect() failed
<form action="mail_sender.php" method="post">
<textarea id="email" name="email" rows="1" cols="30" placeholder="Type your email"></textarea>
<textarea id="formContent" name="message" rows="6" cols="30" placeholder="Type your message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Send">
</form>
PHP
<?php
require "PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php";
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$to = "someone#gmail.com"; // required
$from = $_POST['email'];
$comment =
'Email: '.$from.' <br> />
Message: '.$_POST['message'].' <br> />'
;
$mail->Username = "someone#gmail.com"; // your GMail user name
$mail->Password = "Password"; // your GMail Password
$mail->AddAddress("someone#gmail.com"); // recipients email
$mail->setFrom($_POST['email']);
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->IsSMTP(); // use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}

Anyone can tell why certain emails I put for $email_to will receive the email while other emails I put are unable to receive.
Sorry, a newbie in PHP scripting.
<?php
print "<h2>Simple Contact Form</h2><br/><br/>";
$email_to = "booked#domain.com";
//if "email_from" variable is filled out, send email
if (isset($_REQUEST['email_from'])) {
$email_from = $_REQUEST['email_from'];
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'];
$comment = $_REQUEST['comment'];
//send email
mail($email_to, "$subject", $comment, "From:" . $email_from);
//Email response
echo "Thank you for contacting us!";
}
//if "email_from" variable is not filled out, display the form
else {
?>
<form method="post">
Email From: <input name="email_from" type="text" /><br />
Subject: <input name="subject" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="comment" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
You need to use php mailer so that it will work
You must have email address with privilege. Like you hv hosting email...
download phpmailer and add it within your code so that you can send your mail..
here is some rference code which is used by me...
<?php
require("PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php");
require("PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php");
define("MAILHOST",'hostsite ');
define("MAILSMTPAuth",true);
define("MAILUsername",'hosting mail');
define("MAILPassword",'password');
define("MAILSMTPSecure",'ssl');
define("MAILPort",portno);
define("MAILFrom",'hosting mail');
$mail = new phpmailer();
$result = array();
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = MAILHOST; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = MAILSMTPAuth; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = MAILUsername; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = MAILPassword; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = MAILSMTPSecure; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = MAILPort; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->From = MAILUsername;
$mail->FromName = 'Name';
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = " Inquiry Form";
$mail->Body = "message";
$mail->SetFrom('hosting mail address', 'name');
$mail->addAddress('recieving mail address', 'Name'); // Add a recipient admin
}
exit;
?>
I have been created simple mail sending from localhost using php,
Her is the code:
HTML:
<form method="post" action="email.php">
Email: <input name="email" id="email" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
EMAIL.PHP:
<?php
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$body ='A sample email';
$mailer->IsSMTP();
$mailer->SMTPDebug = 0;
$mailer->SMTPAuth = true;
$mailer->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mailer->Port = 465;//587;
$mailer->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mailer->Username = 'YYYYYYYYYY#gmail.com';
$mailer->Password = 'XXXXXXXXX';
?>
when run this code,
following error displayed,
Fatal error: Call to a member function MsgHTML() on a non-object online 6
note: where is got phpmailer.php source code from this link
I m new to php, but i want to know, particular this section.
Can anyone help me to fix this,
Thanks in advance,
Perhaps $mail is not instantiated, and spelled wrong (did you mean $mailer?). Also, you should set $body before MsgHTML($body). From your link, you may want to add this
$mailer = new PHPMailer;
and make changes like so:
$mailer = new PHPMailer;
$body ='A sample email';
//$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mailer->MsgHTML($body);
$mailer->IsSMTP();
...
Here is an example of an HTML-form and PHPMailer:
HTML
<form method="post" action="email.php">
Email: <input name="email" id="email" type="text" /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
mail.php
<?php
// $email and $message are the data that is being
// posted to this page from our html contact form
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
// set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->IsSMTP();
// As this email.php script lives on the same server as our email server
// we are setting the HOST to localhost
$mail->Host = "localhost"; // specify main and backup server
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
// When sending email using PHPMailer, you need to send from a valid email address
// In this case, we setup a test email account with the following credentials:
// email: send_from_PHPMailer#bradm.inmotiontesting.com
// pass: password
$mail->Username = "send_from_PHPMailer#bradm.inmotiontesting.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
// $email is the user's email address the specified
// on our contact us page. We set this variable at
// the top of this page with:
// $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$mail->From = $email;
// below we want to set the email address we will be sending our email to.
$mail->AddAddress("bradm#inmotiontesting.com", "Brad Markle");
// set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->WordWrap = 50;
// set email format to HTML
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = "You have received feedback from your website!";
// $message is the user's message they typed in
// on our contact us page. We set this variable at
// the top of this page with:
// $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$mail->Body = $message;
$mail->AltBody = $message;
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
exit;
}
echo "Message has been sent";

Best if you use a dedicated script for sending emails. Such as PHPMailer which gives you various config options including SMTP:
// Send Mail
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // initiate
$mail->IsSMTP(); // use SMTP
// SMTP Configuration
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // set SMTP
$mail->Host = "myhost"; // SMTP server
$mail->Username = "email#email.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->Port = 465; // change port is required
