When I click my submit button, It pulls up my form-to-email.php source code. This is my first time using any PHP. How do i get it to send the email? It could just be linked incorrectly or formatted incorrectly.
<form method="post" name="myemailform" action="form-to-email.php">
<div>
<label for="name">Name:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="name" name="user_name" size="45"><br>
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">Email:</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="user_email" size="45"><br>
</div>
<div>
<label for="message">Message:</label><br>
<textarea type="text" id="message" name="user_message" size="600"></textarea><br>
</div>
<div>
<input type = "submit" value = "Send Form">
<input type = "reset" value = "reset">
</div>
</form>
here is my PHP code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "codymaheu#yahoo.com";
$email_subject = "Testing";
function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}
// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['user_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['user_email']) ||
!isset($_POST['user_message'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}
$name = $_POST['user_name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['user_email']; // required
$comments = $_POST['user_message']; // required
$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$name)) {
$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Message you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}
$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Message: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
#mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>
