sorry but i didn't learn PHP yet so can any one help me . i want the out put of the form written in txt file and a messege like " thank you " be the answer if the visitor complete the form and press submit
<form role="form" method="post" id="contact-form">
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" name="Name" id="Name" required>
<input type="email" placeholder="Email" name="Email" id="Email" required>
<input type="text" placeholder="Phone" name="Phone" id="Phone">
<select name="test">
<option selected disabled="disabled"> Where do you live?</option>
<option value="test12"> Al Amirat</option>
<option value="test13"> Other</option>
</select>
<br>
<button type="submit" id="submit"> Submit</button>
<div id="success"></div>
</form>
the last PHP code was to make it to email
<?php
$name = $_POST['Name'];
$email = $_POST['Email'];
$phone = $_POST['Phone'];
$subject = $_POST['Subject'];
$message = $_POST['Message'];
$to = 'test#email.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'FROM: '.$name.' Email: '.$email.' Phone: '.$phone.' Subject: '.$subject.' Message: '.$message;
$headers = 'From: youremail#domain.com' . "\r\n";
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { // this line checks that we have a valid email address
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); //This method sends the mail.
echo "Your email was sent!"; // success message
}else{
echo "Invalid Email!";
}
?>
but after the client need to add the choose from place and making it in txt not email i didn't know how it solved
Here is one example,
$file = 'people.txt';
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new person to the file
$current .= "John Smith\n";
// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);
Check more the example Here,
There are few things you might get stuck with.
Folder Permission:
PHP must have write permission to the folder you are going to save the file. Which 777 permission. So be very careful about security.
Path Separator
Path separators are different for linux and windows. So choose accordingly.

ob_start();
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "info#example.com"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$name = $_POST['name'];
$country = $_POST['country'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = "From: ". $from . "\n\n" . "Subject: ". $subject . "\n\n" . "Country: ". $country ."\n\n"."Name: ". $name ."\n\n". "Wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
mail($to,$subject,$message);
mail($from,$subject2,$message2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $name . ", we will contact you shortly.";
header("Location: ../thank-you-for-contacting.php");
}
ob_end_flush();
?>
First of all you don't need the output buffer at all. What you're doing here is simply loading a single echo line into memory and dumping it on the end.
Have a read on:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ob-start.php
Your current code doesn't even look for attachments, you'd need something along the lines of:
if (count($_POST['attachment'])) {...}
Next thing you need to figure out is the structure of the email itself. For basics have a quick read on:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail
Keeping the headers and message itself separate is always a good idea, creating variables only used once is a bad one. SO you might try something like:
if (filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$headers[] = 'To: '.filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
}
// They're both really bad filters, for application security You should do your research and define your own. Character encoding is a big deal btw.
Once you have a email formatted properly you should look at the attachments mentioned earlier. To understand how those are sent have a read on:
https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc1341/7_2_Multipart.html
TLDR; // If you want to code things, nothing is too long... but this should provide some clarity
header[] = "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=$UNIQUE_string";
$message = "--$UNIQUE_string".PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-type: text/plain;".PHP_EOL;
$message .= $content.PHP_EOL;
$message .= "--$UNIQUE_string".PHP_EOL;
$message .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myFile"; filename="foo.txt"'.PHP_EOL;
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain".PHP_EOL;
$message .= file_get_contents('foo.txt').PHP_EOL;
$message .= "--$UNIQUE_string--".PHP_EOL;
I recently made a website using HTML, CSS, and JS. Since I don't know PHP, I am stuck at building the contact form where it is vital on the website. I learned a bit from YouTube tutorials and have the following HTML & PHP code:
<div class="contact_form">
<form action="/action_page.php">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name*">
<input class="contact_even" type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email id*">
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" placeholder="Phone No.">
<input class="contact_even" type="text" id="city" name="city" placeholder="City">
<textarea id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="How Can We Help You?"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$mailTo = 'example#something.in';
$headers = 'From: '.$mailFrom;
$txt = $name.'('.$phone.') from '.$city.' says:\n\n'.$message;
$headers = "MIME-VERSION: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
mail($mailTo, $headers, $txt);
header("Location: index.html?mailsent");
}
?>
Why do I need the MIME and content-type headers at the bottom as that bit I added from another tutorial.
When I use the form and try sending the message, I get the "?mailsent" after the URL but I receive no email which is a professional plan by GoDaddy.
They are also hosting my website. I contacted them to know whether the server allows me to make my contact form with the plan I have and they said yes. So, I must be missing something important here.
refer to the documentation of mail function
there are 3 required parameter : email destination (to), subject and the message, and two additional options are: headers and parameters.
your code didnt respect that, because you missing to add the subjuct as parameter.
and you get ?mailsent because you use header("Location: index.html?mailsent") without any test if the email send successfully or not.
i suggest you to replace the last two lines of your php code with this
$subject = "some subject"; // you can replace it with $subject = $_POST["subject"]
$result = mail($mailTo, $subject , $txt,$headers);
if ($result){
// mail send successfully
header("Location: index.html?mailsent");
} else {
// error
}
EDIT:
you can get the error message with error_get_last() function.
thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/20203870/195835
$subject = "some subject"; // you can replace it with $subject = $_POST["subject"]
$result = mail($mailTo, $subject , $txt,$headers);
if ($result){
// mail send successfully
header("Location: index.html?mailsent");
} else {
print_r(error_get_last());
}
You are missing the form action, So PHP doesn't know what to do with your variable data.Try adding method="post" inside <form> tag. Like this
<div class="contact_form">
<form action="/action_page.php" method="post">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name*">
<input class="contact_even" type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email id*">
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" placeholder="Phone No.">
<input class="contact_even" type="text" id="city" name="city" placeholder="City">
<textarea id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="How Can We Help You?"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</div>
And also. If you use your computer as localhost(using xampp , wamp, or something without a hosting service) You have to make some changes to the config files.
Also try this modified php code
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mailFrom = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$title = "replace this";
$mailTo = 'support#udichi.in';
$txt = $name.'('.$phone.') from '.$city.' says:\n\n'.$message;
$headers = 'From: '.$mailFrom . PHP_EOL .'Reply-To:' .$mailFrom . PHP_EOL . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($mailTo,$title,$txt,$headers);
header("Location: index.html?mailsent");
}
?>

PHP email form shooting blank emails
(4 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have a contact form on two different websites I have made for clients.
At around 8-9pm everyday a blank message is sent using the contact form and straight to my clients' respective email addresses.
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['full-name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = $_POST['full-name'];
$to = 'mobileguitarworkshop#hotmail.com';
if(!empty($_POST['field'])) die();
$email_from = 'mobileguitarworkshop#hotmail.com';
$email_subject = "Enquiry from $name.\n";
$body = "From: $name.\n".
"Email: $email.\n".
"Message: $message.\n";
$headers = "From: $email \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email \r\n";
mail($to, $email_subject, $body, $headers);
header("Location: http://mobileguitarworkshop.co.uk/success.html");
exit();
?>
HTML:
<form action="contact.php" method="post" class="contact-form">
<label for="full-name">Name</label>
<input name="full-name" type="text" id="full-name" required>
<input type="text" id="field" name="field"/>
<label for="phone">Phone</label>
<input name="phone" type="tel" id="phone">
<label for="email">Email address</label>
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" required>
<label for="message">Message</label>
<textarea name="message" id="message"></textarea>
<input name="send" type="submit" value="SEND" id="sendBtn">
</form>
I've tried adding 'required' to the Name and Email Address inputs to stop spammers, and also a hidden field that, if filled, directs them to 'success.html' without posting the message.
If anyone can explain why this is happening that would be great. The hosting service I'm using is 1&1 IONOS.
Thanks,
Jack
The spammers may be sending a request directly to the contact form endpoint, bypassing your form entirely. This means that required fields in the html wont do much to stop that. You'll need to check those properties on the backend to prevent those submissions. Something like this would work:
if(empty($_POST['full-name']) || empty($_POST['email'])) {
die();
}
If I were you, I'd also look into implementing a CSRF token. See How to properly add CSRF token using PHP
While we're talking, we really should sanitize the $_POST['message']; with something like the below to remove any questionable html content your users may have submitted:
$message = strip_tags($_POST['message']);
IF (I Started Receiving Spam Bot Forms)
THEN (I Implemented New PHP Email script using a basic Honey Pot Method)
$ERROR (New PHP is not sending ALL the forms fields. Upon sending the form, my email is only receiving the, textarea id="message", field)
$LOG_FILE (My previous PHP script implemented a dynamic catch-all solution for form fields)
$FAILED_SOLUTION (Conversely I attempted to add the individual, $phone & $address fields manually on lines #6 7 & 14 of the PHP but am still only receiving the, textarea id="message", field)
$NOTES (I am self taught & typically only deal with PHP on a need to know basis. Please try to keep it simple and include a step-by-step explanation. Feel free to suggest any "best practices" i may have overlooked unrelated to my problem!)
$QUESTION = "Can someone show me how to call the other form fields in the PHP script to send to my email?"
$SUCCESS = "Thanks in Advance For Any Help That Maybe Given!";
PHP:
<?php
if($_POST){
$to = 'your-email-here#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Contact Form Submission';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$robotest = $_POST['robotest'];
if($robotest)
$error = "Spam Protection Enabled";
else{
if($name && $phone && $address && $email && $message){
$header = "From: $name <$email>";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message,$header))
$success = "Your message was sent!";
else
$error = "Error_36 there was a problem sending the e-mail.";
}else
$error = "Error_09 All fields are required.";
}
if($error)
echo '<div class="msg error">'.$error.'</div>';
elseif($success)
echo '<div class="msg success">'.$success.'</div>';
}
?>
HTML FORM:
<form method="post" action="Form_Email.php">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="name" required>
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" placeholder="phone" required>
<input type="text" id="address" name="address" placeholder="address" required>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="email" required>
<textarea id="message" name="message" placeholder="message" required> </textarea>
<p class="robotic">
<input name="robotest" type="text" id="robotest" class="robotest" autocomplete="off"/>
</p>
<input type="submit" id="SEND" value="Submit">
</form>
Your message contains only $_POST['message'] for now. If you want to append other values, use concatenation on your $message variable.
$message .= ($name . $phone . $address . $etc)
Notice: A $foo .= $bar construction stands for $foo = $foo . $bar.
Do not forget about whitesigns such as spaces or new lines wherever you want. Simply concatenate ' ' or "\n".
After that, just send a mail using your $message as message.
SOLVED - permissions
I want to walk through my debug process so that it might help anyone else working through the same thing... 1) I wiped both pages and replaced with the code that I knew worked. 2) I then changed the form piece by piece until I got it how i wanted and continued testing 3) I then copied the current php file completely and redirected my form to it. 4) it failed... I changed the permissions to 655 and wallah it worked. Now I can go about hacking about the PHP code to get what I want. thanks for all of the suggestions, you definitely led me down the road to my solution
SOLVED
I have two separate intake forms on a site. Intake form 1 works perfectly. I takes, name, email and comment and sends it through a sendmail script.
I also wanted an intake form for lead capture to track those that want to access the demo videos so I modified the code from the form (for the new page) and then created an additional php file called videoform.php - which is basically just a modified version of my sendmail.php file.
When I fill out the form it does nothing when I click on submit. It validates, as it not let you enter a null value in any of the fields but I am not sure what I am missing. Is it something simple (I am by no means PHP reliable) or can I simply not do that?
Here is the form and the php:
<div class="message"></div>
<form action="./php/videoform.php" method="POST" id="contact-form">
<p class="column one-half">
<input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your Name" required>
</p>
<p class="column one-half">
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Your Email" required>
</p>
<p class="column one-half">
<input name="phone" type="text" placeholder="Your Phone" required>
</p>
<p>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form>
</div>
This is the PHP
<?php if(!$_POST) exit;
$to = "xxxxx#example.com";
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$content = $_POST['content'];
$subject = "You've been contacted by $name";
$content = "$name filled out a request to view the online videos:\r\n\n";
$content .= "Phone: $phone \n\nEmail: $email \n\n";
if ($success) {
header("Location: /videos.html");
exit;
} else {
header("Location: /video-form.html");
exit;
}
?>
I am comfortable with a number of coding formats but I am so weak when it comes to PHP. Any insight would be both appreciated and get me on the road to understanding PHP better.
Working scripts for comparison
Form
Send us a message
<p class="column one-half last">
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Your Email" required>
</p>
<p class="clear">
<textarea name="comment" placeholder="Your Message" cols="5" rows="3" required></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Comment">
</p>
</form>
</div>
PHP sendmail.php file
<?php if(!$_POST) exit;
$to = "xxxxx#example.com";
$email = $_POST['email'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$subject = "You've been contacted by $name";
$content = "$name sent you a message from your enquiry form:\r\n\n";
$content .= "Contact Reason: $comment \n\nEmail: $email \n\n";
if(#mail($to, $subject, $content, "Reply-To: $email \r\n")) {
echo "<h5 class='success'>Message Sent</h5>";
echo "<br/><p class='success'>Thank you <strong>$name</strong>, your message has been submitted and someone will contact you shortly.</p>";
}else{
echo "<h5 class='failure'>Sorry, Try again Later.</h5>";
}?>
From your php:
//...
$content = "$name filled out a request to view the online videos:\r\n\n";
$content .= "Phone: $phone \n\nEmail: $email \n\n";
if ($success) {
header("Location: /videos.html");
exit;
} else {
//...
You never define $success. Since it doesn't have a value, if ($success) fails, and it always enters the else portion of the statement. It looks like you're missing a line that's something like $success = mail($to, $subject, $content);
