I currently have a contact form, from which e-mails are composed and sent using php. I use a separate php file for that.
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'mail#gmail.com';//
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['phone']))
{
$errors .= "\n Будь ласка, заповніть усі поля";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['phone'];
$page = getRequestURI();
if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i",
$email_address))
{
$errors .= "Некоректна адреса e-mail";
}
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
$email_body = "Нове замовлення туру: $page".
"Деталі:\n Ім'я: $name \n Email: $email_address \n Телефон \n $message";
$headers = "From: $myemail\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html');
}
I need to put such forms on different pages. And there should be information about the page on which form was submitted in the message sent by e-mail.
Is there a possibility to do that without creating separate php files for every page?
In other words how can I get the name (or url) of the page, on which form was submitted?
You can get the current request URI by using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
Assuming your script is located at http://example.com/some/page-here/more, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] would be /some/page-here/more.

Relying on HTML 'required' for simple form validation
(4 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am a beginner helping my aunt build a personal website. I have an HTML form where users can contact her (slightly simplified for clarity):
<form id = "contact-form" method = "post" action = "contact-form-handler.php">
<input name = "name" type = "text" required><br>
<input name = "email" type = "email" required><br>
<textarea name = "message" class = "form-control" required></textarea><br>
<input type = "submit" class = "form-control submit" value = "SEND MESSAGE">
</form>
The script contact-form-handler.php reads,
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email_from = "SEND_EMAIL#ADDRESS.com";
$email_subject = "Message from fziastories";
$email_body = "Name: $name.\n".
"Email: $visitor_email.\n".
"Message: $message.\n";
$to = "RECIEVE_EMAIL#ADDRESS.com";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
mail($to,$email_subject, $email_body, $headers);
header("Location: index.html");
?>
This form works great. When I enter various tests, the message goes through perfectly. And when I don't enter a value for one of the three inputs, I am not able to hit the 'SEND MESSAGE' button.
Except, every once in a while, maybe once or twice a week, I receive an empty message with no values filled out. This is confusing to me because I figure the current setup precludes users from submitting the form without entering value but also through the tests I have ruled out the possibility that a valid response is being entered as blanks.
I would greatly appreciate any advice! If you have any follow-up questions, do not hesitate to ask. Thank you!
The required tag in HTML forms is not very secure!
You should always validate the data on your server.
This could look something like this:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if (empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['message'])) {
header("Location: index.html");
exit;
}
$email_from = "SEND_EMAIL#ADDRESS.com";
$email_subject = "Message from fziastories";
$email_body = "Name: $name.\n".
"Email: $visitor_email.\n".
"Message: $message.\n";
$to = "RECIEVE_EMAIL#ADDRESS.com";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
mail($to,$email_subject, $email_body, $headers);
header("Location: index.html");
?>
So my website has multiple pages where I want people to have an option to send us a message. I already have setup a php mailer but all the mails have the same layout.
How can I make to where if the message has been send form a specific page I add specific words to the mail?
The mailsender works on both the pages but the layout and everything is the same.
THIS IS THE CODE THAT WORKS FOR ME:
<?php
// Check for empty fields
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['phone']) ||
empty($_POST['message']) ||
!filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo "No arguments Provided!";
return false;
}
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone']));
$message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']));
$URL = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
// Create the email and send the message
$to = 'boonwijkkermis#gmail.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname#yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name";
$email_body = "Nieuwe mail ontvangen via boonwijkkermis.com.\n\nNaam:\n $name \n\nEmail:\n $email_address \n\nTelefoon nummer:\n $phone \n\nBericht:\n$message \n\nURL:\n $URL";
$headers = "From: no-reply#boonwijkkermis.com\n"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply#yourdomain.com.
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;
?>
What you need to do is to add an hidden field in each specific page to be able to understand where the message request came from, such as:
On a page:
<input type='hidden' name='from' value='page1'>
On another page:
<input type='hidden' name='from' value='page2'>
Then in your php file check for the $_POST['from'] value to be able to tell from which page the request came from.
So you would do something like that:
<?php
// Check for empty fields
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['phone']) ||
empty($_POST['message']) ||
!filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo "No arguments Provided!";
return false;
}
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone']));
$message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']));
if(!empty($_POST['from'])) { //if the from post var is not empty
if($_POST['from'] == 'page1') { //if request came from page1
$message .= " requested from page1"; //we append this text in the $message var
}
}
// Create the email and send the message
$to = 'boonwijkkermis#gmail.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname#yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name";
$email_body = "Nieuwe mail ontvangen via boonwijkkermis.com.\n\nNaam:\n $name \n\nEmail:\n $email_address \n\nTelefoon nummer:\n $phone \n\nBericht:\n$message";
$headers = "From: no-reply#boonwijkkermis.com\n"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply#yourdomain.com.
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;
?>
In alternative if you are not able to add that hidden field, you can use the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] header in your php code, that would contain the full URL from where the request came from.
This works for me
<?php
// Check for empty fields
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['phone']) ||
empty($_POST['message']) ||
!filter_var($_POST['email'],FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
echo "No arguments Provided!";
return false;
}
$name = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']));
$email_address = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['email']));
$phone = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['phone']));
$message = strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message']));
$URL = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
// Create the email and send the message
$to = 'boonwijkkermis#gmail.com'; // Add your email address inbetween the '' replacing yourname#yourdomain.com - This is where the form will send a message to.
$email_subject = "Website Contact Form: $name";
$email_body = "Nieuwe mail ontvangen via boonwijkkermis.com.\n\nNaam:\n $name \n\nEmail:\n $email_address \n\nTelefoon nummer:\n $phone \n\nBericht:\n$message \n\nURL:\n $URL";
$headers = "From: no-reply#boonwijkkermis.com\n"; // This is the email address the generated message will be from. We recommend using something like noreply#yourdomain.com.
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
return true;
?>

PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm trying everything but this PHP script show this error "Please fill out all the mandatory fields."
Please help me with how to solve this problem.
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['phone'])) {
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8"."\r\n";
$headers.= 'From: <'.$email.'>'."\r\n";
$mailto = "google#gmail.com";
$subject = "Web Design & Development Service";
$msg2send = "Hi $fullname,
Hi, we have received one fresh query for you.
Name: $fullname
Email: $email
Phone: $phone ";
$msg2send = nl2br($msg2send);
if (mail($mailto, $subject, $msg2send, $headers)) {
echo "Thanks for writing to us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
} else {
echo "Please fill out all the mandatory fields.";
}
} else {
echo "Your enquiry could not be sent for some reason; please try sending us again.";
}
?>
Your if else statements are positioned incorrectly.
They point to wrong conditions.
The rearranged code:
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['fullname']) && isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['phone'])) {
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8"."\r\n";
$headers.= 'From: <'.$email.'>'."\r\n";
$mailto = "google#gmail.com";
$subject = "Web Design & Development Service";
$msg2send = "Hi $fullname,
Hi, we have received one fresh query for you.
Name: $fullname
Email: $email
Phone: $phone ";
$msg2send = nl2br($msg2send);
if (mail($email, $subject, $msg2send, $headers)) {
echo "Thanks for writing to us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
} else {
// #1: Swipe with #2
echo "Your enquiry could not be sent for some reason; please try sending us again."; // Flip this with #2
}
} else {
echo "Please fill out all the mandatory fields."; // #2
}
?>
Too many nested IF statements is a bad practice because it is difficult to debug. Instead, you should break them to small statements
For example:
<?php
session_start();
if !(isset($_POST['fullname']) || isset($_POST['email']) || isset($_POST['phone'])) {
echo "Your enquiry could not be sent for some reason; please try sending us again.";
exit();
}
$fullname = $_POST['fullname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0"."\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8"."\r\n";
$headers.= 'From: <'.$email.'>'."\r\n";
$mailto = "google#gmail.com";
$subject = "Web Design & Development Service";
$msg2send = "Hi $fullname,
Hi, we have received one fresh query for you.
Name: $fullname
Email: $email
Phone: $phone ";
$msg2send = nl2br($msg2send);
if (mail($mailto, $subject, $msg2send, $headers)) {
echo "Thanks for writing to us. We will get back to you as soon as possible.";
} else {
echo "Please fill out all the mandatory fields.";
}
?>
Now the code becomes clearer and you can trace back. Seem your code has error at mail function so it return False, then the message shows up.
I've recently started using HTML, Javascript and PHP to create my own website.
I have been trying to make a PHP script that takes inputs from a form, validates with javascript and php, then sends the email.
I know the script is executed and runs fine, as it sucessfully redirects me to the new page at the end. However, it does not actually send any emails for some reason.
Here is the code:
<?php
$errors = '';
$myemail = '<removed due to privacy>';
if(empty($_POST['name']) || empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['message']))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if (!preg_match("/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i", $email_address))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address";
}
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
" Here are the details:\n Name: $name \n ".
"Email: $email_address\n Message \n $message";
$headers = "From: $myemail\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html');
}
?>
Now I did see a few similar questions, but as I am very incompetent at php, they didn't really help.
If you can identify the reason, I'd be very grateful.
$sent = mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
put a condition like this
if($sent){ header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html'); } else { echo 'mail failed';}
if it show "mail failed" configure your localhost to sent mails

I made a form for contacting me on my website.
This is the php code:
<?php
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'yourname#website.com';//<-----Put Your email address here.
if(empty($_POST['name']) ||
empty($_POST['email']) ||
empty($_POST['message']))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email_address = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if (!preg_match(
"/^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*#[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$/i",
$email_address))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address";
}
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "Contact form submission: $name";
$email_body = "You have received a new message. ".
"name: $name \n\n email: $email_address \n\n\n $message";
$headers = "From: $myemail\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email_address";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact_thanks.html');
}
?>
When I use the form on the website, I receive a mail with weird symbols. That is because I write in Hebrew in the form- English letters are delivered well.
When I change "myemail" to another mail, the message is delivered well, even in Hebrew, but I want the message to pass to the first mail.
I changed many times the encoding, but none seems to solve the problem, perhaps I hadn't tried the correct one yet.
I am not the one who wrote the code and my I don't know php well, so please give me answers that are easy to comprehend.
You have to specify content encoding in your mail header. For this reason, add this line:
$headers .= "\nContent-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8";
