I have a form that sends info to php doc. When testing, I submit and array displays but won't go to email address.
<?php require_once("/includes/fbcheader.php");

This is the sending php execute code
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact-Send</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(null!==($_POST["name"])) {
$name = $_POST["name"];
/* echo "Please enter 'Name'<br />"; */
} else {
$name = "";
}
if(null!==($email = $_POST["email"])) {
$email = $_POST["email"];
/* echo "Please enter 'E_Mail'<br />"; */
} else {
$email = "";
}
if(null!==($email = $_POST["subject"])) {
$form_email = $_POST["subject"];
/* echo "Please enter 'Subject'<br />"; */
} else {

}
if(null!==($message = $_POST["message"])) {
$message = $_POST["message"];
/* echo "Please enter your message<br />"; */
} else {
$message = "";
}
/*echo "{$name}, {$email}, {$message}";*/
$email_from = '$Email';
$email_subject = "New Form submission";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
"Here is the message:\n $message".
$to = "me#myaddress.com";
?>
<br>
<?php
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $form_email \r\n";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
header("thank-you.html");
?>
</body>
</html>
On submit I simply get the array displaying the content of the input fields
A quick look at your PHP code I see the following:
This: if(null!==($email = $_POST["email"])) will fail because you are running a check against nothing. it should be: if(null!==($_POST["email"])).
You have an undefined variable here: $email_from = '$Email'; this will simply output "$Email". It should be $email_from = $email; (as per your code). However you are simply re-assigning the variable here which you dont really need to be doing at all.
Your concatenating the $email_body and $to address.
You header("thank-you.html"); will fail because as per your code, output has already started here <?php (line 6).
You should be aiming for something closer to this for your contact-send.php:
<?php
if(null!==($_POST["name"])) {
$name = $_POST["name"];
/* echo "Please enter 'Name'<br />"; */
} else {
$name = "";
}
if(null!==($_POST["email"])) {
$email = $_POST["email"];
/* echo "Please enter 'E_Mail'<br />"; */
} else {
$email = "";
}
if(null!==($_POST["subject"])) {
$form_email = $_POST["subject"];
/* echo "Please enter 'Subject'<br />"; */
} else {
$subject = "";
}
if(null!==($_POST["message"])) {
$message = $_POST["message"];
/* echo "Please enter your message<br />"; */
} else {
$message = "";
}
/*echo "{$name}, {$email}, {$message}";*/
$email_subject = "New Form submission";
$email_body = "You have received a new message from the user $name.\n".
"Here is the message:\n $message";
$to = "me#myaddress.com";
$headers = "From: $email \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email \r\n";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
header("Location: thank-you.html");
?>
Remember to set $to to your email address!

I have a contact form which is working fine. I have Integrate Google ReCaptcha v2 with it and it is showing below my contact form but form will be submitted either user checked reCaptcha or not. I want to verify it that form only goes submit if user has checked google ReCaptcha otherwise it shows a message to the user to check it.
Here is my HTML Form (contact.html):
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer>
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="contact_us.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Your
Name *" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email *" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="phone" class="form-control" placeholder="Contact Number">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<textarea class="form-control textarea" name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="g-recaptcha" data sitekey="have_enter_my_site_key_here"></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="submit" name="submit" class="form-control btn-
submit" Value="Send">
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here is PHP code as (contact_us.php):
<?php
ob_start();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email_from ='';
$email_subject = "Contact Form";
$email_body = "User Name: $name \n".
"User Email: $email \n".
"Phone Number: $phone \n".
"User Message: \n $message \n";
$to = "my_Email_here";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers = "Reply-To: $email \r\n";
$result = mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
if($result) {
echo "Sent Successfully";
}
else{
echo "Something Went wrong. Please try again";
}
?>
Help me how should I verify google ReCaptcha with my HTML form.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['g-recaptcha-response']) && !empty($_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])) {
// Your site secret key obtained from Google
$secret = '#####################################';
$grResponse = $_POST['g-recaptcha-response'];
// Verify with Google Servers
$verifyResponse = file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=' . $secret . '&response=' . $grResponse);
$responseData = json_decode($verifyResponse);
if ($responseData->success) {
ob_start();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email_from = '';
$email_subject = "Contact Form";
$email_body = "User Name: $name \n" . "User Email: $email \n" . "Phone Number: $phone \n" . "User Message: \n $message \n";
$to = "my_Email_here";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n";
$headers = "Reply-To: $email \r\n";
$result = mail($to, $email_subject, $email_body, $headers);
if ($result) {
echo "Sent Successfully";
}
else {
echo "Something Went wrong. Please try again";
}
} else {
echo "################################";
}
} else {
echo "################################";
}
?>
Please check below code:
I used the mail function to do a contact form and it all works fine. However, I just noticed that after sending an email, every time a refresh the page, even though the fields are empty, an email keeps being sent.
My code looks like this:

How can I make the site forget all the details from the input fields once an email is sent?
I tried to follow this question here but I don't seem to be able to make it work on my site
The easiest way is to add an forwarding in your code, like that:
EDIT: at #CD001 commentary
if (mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
$result='<div class="alert alert-success">Thank You ! We will be in touch soon</div>';
echo $result;
// header('Location: ?successfull-submit'); exit; // this one would fail because above is an output.
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=?successfull-submit">'; // its not a good /nice alternative but it "works".
Redirect to ?sent=1 without sending any output. And check 'sent' to determine whether or not to display the success message. Try below (assuming your script is contact.php). Also make sure
contact.php
<?php
$result = '';
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$subject_line = $_POST['subject'];
$situation = $_POST['situation'];
$from = 'myemail#email.co.za';
$to = 'myemail#email.co.za';
$subject = 'SchoemanLaw lead ...';
$body ="From: $name <br/> E-Mail: $email <br/> Mobile: $mobile Subject: $subject_line <br/> Situation: $situation";
//$body ="From: $name\r\n E-Mail: $email\r\n Mobile:\r\n $mobile Subject: $subject_line\r\n Situation:\r\n $situation";
// set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
// More headers optional/headers
$headers .= "From:$from";
// Check if name has been entered
if (!$_POST['name']) {
$errName = 'Please enter your name';
}
// Check if email has been entered and is valid
if (!$_POST['email'] || !filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$errEmail = 'Please enter a valid email address';
}
// Check if mobile has been entered
if (!$_POST['mobile']) {
$errMobile = 'Please enter your number';
}
// If there are no errors, send the email
if (!$errName && !$errEmail && !$errMobile) {
if (mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
//$result='<div class="alert alert-success">Thank You ! We will be in touch soon</div>';
//echo $result;

exit;

while redirect to another page you can restrict that duplication problem....
Just try redirecting to another page or another function that discards the old $_POST data.
You could use session variable and reset it after each request.
Or, prevent reloading same page using javascript.
Or, redirect to some other page upon completion (if possible)
You can try to add CSRF token to your page to prevent double submission.
Refer to this link: How to prevent multiple form submission on multiple clicks in PHP
When the user refreshes the page, it is possible that the same parameters are getting posted again. As a result, if (isset($_POST["submit"])) This condition becomes true and mail will be sent every time user reloads.
One solution is to redirect to the same page or to a different page on success full completion.
ie,
if (mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers)) {
$result='<div class="alert alert-success">Thank You ! We will be in touch soon</div>';
echo $result;
}
Instead of the above method, redirect user to the same page or different page and show a message there. If you want to show the same page you can redirect with a flag in the query string as ?show_success_msg= true.
Then do this.
if(isset($_GET['show_success_msg']) && $_GET['show_success_msg'] == 'true') {
$result='<div class="alert alert-success">Thank You ! We will be in touch soon</div>';
echo $result;
}
Complete solution here:
<?php
// Handle PHP code always on Top of the page (ie, Not after your HTML), You cant send headers if you have any content above it.
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mobile = $_POST['mobile'];
$subject_line = $_POST['subject'];
$situation = $_POST['situation'];
$from = 'myemail#email.co.za';
$to = 'myemail#email.co.za';
$subject = 'SchoemanLaw lead ...';

There's a couple of things that I need some help on:
I have a function called isValid that is not checking if the emails entered in my form are valid?
How can i have my error messages display inside the form's text field?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Below is my code:
<?php

if (filter_var($email_a, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo "This ($email_a) email address is considered valid.";
}
if (filter_var($email_b, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo "This ($email_b) email address is considered valid.";
}
?>
for second question, change your code like this:
if (empty($_POST["Email"]))
{
$error['Email'] = "** Enter a valid email";
}
.
.
.
if (empty($_POST["Name"]))
{
$error['Name'] = "** Enter your name";
}
.
.
.
<input type="text" size="35" name="Email">
<span class="error"><?php echo $error['Email'];?></span>
<input type="text" size="35" name="Name">
<span class="error"><?php echo $error['Name'];?></span>
I am new to php and I have post forms down but not I want some of my imput fields to be required.
I want this form to force the user to fill out the required fields but then be directed to my process.php page which will send me an email with the data the form collected. Right now the data is being posted at the bottom of the page. Please help me direct the data to an email.

I have the code to collect that data and email it. i just don't know how to get the form to validate and then direct to the process.php page.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$gender = $_POST['gender'];
$to = 'str#xxxxxxxx.com';
$subject = 'Executive Plaza Contact Form Response';
$message.= "Name: $name \n";
$message.= "Email: $email \n";
$message.= "email: $email \n";
$message.= "comment: $comment \n";
$message.= "gender: $gender \n";
$headers = "From: Eleven55\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header('Location: thank-you.php');
Read up on the PHP mail() function here. It is basic and should get you started.
$to='you#domain.com';
$subject='Form data';
$body = "{$name} says {$comment}. \n Contact {$name} at {$email} or {$website}. \n {$name} is a {$gender}";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
$to='youremail#yourdomain.com';
$subject='Form data';
$body = "Name :$name \n ...";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
Read the mail function documentation for more info
My bad. Do this
document.forms.onsubmit = function(){ //onsubmit event
//validate form data using getElementById().val and so on
if(formdataisnotvalid){
alert('descriptive error message');
return false; // this will prevent the form from submitting
}
I am an eager novice with PHP so please forgive my errors as I am learning as I go. Basically, I am building a simple contact form for my website and have successfully been able to have the form send the user's first and last name, subject, email address and message. I am using a second file, "form_process.php" to process the form data from "index.php".
The problem is that the email address does not seem to be validating and will send any words typed. I would greatly appreciate it if some more seasoned eyes could take a look and help me sort this out. Thank you in advance.
Michael.

You should be using it like this:
if(filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
// is email
$sender = $email;
}else{
// isn't email
$sender = '';
}
