I have this PHP code here, which should sent the Names, Email and comment of the user to an email. Although it doesn't seem to be working any more. I've been using this code as a basis for my contact form for many years. Now they're just not working.
Your message is being sent...
<?php
$emailSubject = 'A message from: '.$_POST['name'] .' '.'-'.' ' .'Email Adress: ' .$_POST['email'];
$webMaster = 'webmaster#gmail.com';
$name1 = $_POST['name1'];
$name2 = $_POST['name2'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$sub = $_POST['sub'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
<b>First Name: $name1 </b><br>
<b>Last Name: $name2 </b><br>
Email: $email <br>
Subject: $sub <br>
Comments: $comments <br>
EOD;
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body,
$headers);
$theResults = <<<EOD

It's very confusing and annoying. Messages when sent to Hotmail don't even appear, so that'll force the clients to get a new email because of it, and when sent to Google... Does it not accept $_POST or something?
As you can see, the SCRIPT does work, it's just with G-mail none of the important information seems to show up, and on Hotmail the messages don't even send/appear!! Thanks for your help. Here is the HTML if needed.
<div class="contactwrap">

<div class="ContactTitle">CONTACT US</div>
<form action="Scripts/contact.php" method="post">

Your form fields are incorrect. id is NOT used in form submission. the name parameter is. Since you've named your form fields as text1, text2, etc... but are looking for name1 and similar in your PHP code, you're trying to retrieve non-existent fields.
e.g. you have:
<input name="text1" type="text" class="inputstyle" id="name1" value="First Name" size="5" maxlength="5" />
$_POST['name1'];
no, that field will actually be $_POST['text1'].

I've found a form that works well with multiple file uploads and am trying to work in some validation, i'm just trying to make some fields required for now.
Currently some validation is occuring with error messages however the form always posts regardless. My php knowledge is limited and it may look messy but I would be grateful if anybody could help me as to how to amend the following code..
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
// we'll begin by assigning the To address and message subject
$to="paul#thedesignbank.co.uk";
$subject="Parts Request";
$subject = trim($_POST['namefrom']);

$chassisnumber = trim($_POST['chassisnumber']);
$contactnumber = trim($_POST['contactnumber']);
$emailfrom = trim($_POST['emailfrom']);
$address = trim($_POST['address']);
$town = trim($_POST['town']);
$postcode = trim($_POST['postcode']);
$comments = trim($_POST['comments']);
// get the sender's name and email address
// we'll just plug them a variable to be used later$from = stripslashes($_POST['fromname'])." <".stripslashes($_POST['fromemail']).">";
// generate a random string to be used as the boundary marker
$mime_boundary="==Multipart_Boundary_x".md5(mt_rand())."x";
// now we'll build the message headers

Using if (!$_POST['emailfrom']) will only check if the posted field exists. Regardless if it's empty or not.
Instead you could use empty:
if (empty($_POST['emailfrom'])) {
echo 'error'
}
You also can add some additional checks to the fields like a valid email check or phonenumber validator:
if (empty($_POST['emailfrom']) || !isValidEmailCustomFunction($_POST['emailfrom]')) {
echo 'error'
}
something like
if(!isset($_POST['namefrom']) || $_POST['namefrom']=="" ){
$error[]="Please enter your name";
}
I'm making a signup form (signup.html) with a php handler (signup-form-handler.php).
But it seems like I'm doing something wrong.
This is my code:
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'example#domain.com';//<-----Put Your email address here.
if(empty($_POST['FirstName']) ||
empty($_POST['LastName']) ||
empty($_POST['City']) ||
empty($_POST['Country']))
{
$errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}
$FirstName = $_POST['FirstName'];
$LastName = $_POST['LastName'];
$City = $_POST['City'];
$Country = $_POST['Country'];
$Int1 = $_POST['Int1']; // <---- Here's what seems to be the issue
$Int2 = $_POST['Int2']; // <---- Here's what seems to be the issue
if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;
$email_subject = "Udfyldelse af test på Gamification: $FirstName";
$email_body = "Du har fået en ny besvarelse. ".
"Her er besvarelserne:\n Fornavn: $FirstName \n Efternavn: $LastName \n By: $City \n Land $Country \n".
"De fire personlige interesser: $Int1 og $Int2";
$headers = "From: $myemail\n";
mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
//redirect to the 'thank you' page
header('Location: contact-form-thank-you.html');
}
Here's the relevant html code:
<form id="contact_form" name="contact_form" action="signup-form-handler.php">
<!-- Personlige oplysninger -->
<div class="next">
<h3>Personlige oplysninger<a class="info" href="#" title="Testing"><img style="height: 15px; width: 15px; margin-left: 5px;" alt="Time" src="img/signup_form/info_simple.png"></a></h3>

</br>

<input class="user_field" placeholder="indsæt by" id="City" name="City" type="text" maxlength="60" />
<b>,</b>
<input class="user_field" placeholder="indsæt land" id="Country" name="Country" type="text" maxlength="60" />
</br>
</br>
<b>Beskriv dig selv med 4 interesser</b>
</br>

<input id="Int2" name="Int2" class="tag_btn user_field" style="color: #FFFFFF;" placeholder="Interesser 2" />
<input class="tag_btn user_field" style="color: #FFFFFF;" placeholder="Interesser 3" />
<input class="tag_btn user_field" style="color: #FFFFFF;" placeholder="Interesser 4" />
</div>
As you can see from my code example, I'm trying to get input from my an html form. I've commented in to the code, where the problem occurs. If I retrieve input from Int1 and Int2, I get the answer, that all required fields need to be filled in, but I don't want to require Int1 and Int2. Also I didn't add Int1 and Int2 in the beginning where I check if the other variables are empty.
If I remove Int1 and Int2 it all works fine.
When I send the form after inserting all the inputs, I get the following message:
"Error: all fields are required"
What am I doing wrong?
Hope I gave enough info to find the issue, thanks!
The default method is GET. Set your form method to POST:
<form id="contact_form" name="contact_form" action="signup-form-handler.php" method="POST">
So basically you're not passing the values to the script. If you wanted to use the GET method, switch all instances of $_POST to $_GET and you can leave your form as is.
In the inputs Int1 and Int2 the attribute type is missing.
ok, for starters, the "< b >" for bold tag is depricated, use "< strong > < /strong > "
if you add this to your php page it works, play about with the form though as i couldnt understand the danish to know what was what. this is a one page solution, no need for a HTML file
<?php
$form = '<form id="contact_form" name="contact_form" action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="post" >

First time posting here. I have a php contact form on a CMS site that is sending me duplicate emails. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes it send two copies, sometimes it sends as many as 8 copies. Sometimes it works normally. The issue started after removing some fields from the form.
The form submits to a separate page that sends the email to 3 recipients. This page also serves as a thank you page that displays the information submitted by the user. "Thanks for contacting us the following information has been received".
The embeds are expresionengine code. Thanks for your help!!!

If someone double-clicks (or clicks it 8 times) your submit button, your script could be run more than once. Try disabling the submit button on click (using Javascript).
Another, probably unnecessary, solution would be to lock your form script (e.g. using semaphores), create a database entry with the provided info, then check to see if you've sent the same info recently (e.g. within the last five minutes), and don't sent it again if you have.
I'm sure the Javscript disable functionality will suffice :)
Or, if you want to find out what's really going on, you could just create a log file that logs "sent [some distinct piece of data that might tell these posts apart] at [timestamp]". If you see a couple of these, with the same [distinct info] entry and really close timestamp, then your problem is multiple clicks to the submit button.
so i finally got my feedback form to be working and sending emails to my email address but i have another problem. The content of the forms are not showing, don't know what is wrong. I'm new to php tho so i'm very sure its simple.. posted the code below
<?php
$name = $_POST ['name'];
$mail = $_POST ['mail'];
$number = $_POST ['number'];
$feedback = $_POST ['feedback'];
$to = 'ATotallyRandom#Email.net';
$subject = 'Feedback from atetaconsult.com';
$msg = "Your name: $name\n" .
" Your email: $email\n" .
" Feedback: $feedback\n";
mail ($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' . $email);
echo ' thank you <br/>';
echo ' your name ' .$name .'<br/>';
echo ' Your email ' . $email .'<br/>';
echo ' Your feedback ' . $feedback . '<br/>';
?>
The HTML code for the form is below too
<form method="post" action="send.php">
<p class="head" style="font-style: italic; color: #fff; line-height: 24px; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 47px; margin-top: 20px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;">

Here:
$msg = "Your name: $name\n" .
" Your email: $email\n" .
" Feedback: $feedback\n";
you are asking for the variable $email
but you have specified it as $mail at the top.
See: http://markpetherbridge.co.uk/StackOverflow/phpmail.php?name=Mark&mail=test#test.com&feedback=testfeedback
I have changed it to $email and the type to $_GET for demonstration purposes, but it seems to be working. Try that.
Here is the Full code for the file:
<?php
$name = $_GET ['name'];
$email = $_GET ['mail'];
$number = $_GET ['number'];
$feedback = $_GET ['feedback'];
$to = 'ATotallyRandom#Email.net';
$subject = 'Test from Mark P';
$msg = "Your name: $name\n";
$msg .= " Your email: $email\n";
$msg .= " Feedback: $feedback\n";
mail ($to, $subject, $msg, 'From:' . $email);
echo ' thank you <br/>';
echo ' your name ' .$name .'<br/>';
echo ' Your email ' . $email .'<br/>';
echo ' Your feedback ' . $feedback . '<br/>';
?>
<br /><br />
Here is the result from $msg: <br /><br />
<?php
echo $msg;
?>
You need to add name into your html:
<input name="name" id="name" class="name" type="text" placeholder="Name">
<input name="mail" id="mail" class="mail" type="text" placeholder="Email">
<input name="number" id="number" class="phone" type="text" placeholder="Phone">
Put all these code in between:
if($_POST){
// Your coding
}
Also show me the Javascript/Jquery coding you are using on contact form.
You haven't set a name value on the input.
Change in:
<form method="post" action="send.php">
<p class="head" style="font-style: italic; color: #fff; line-height: 24px; font-size: 19px; margin-bottom: 47px; margin-top: 20px; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;">

Since the Wordpress form seems to not want to send me the password to my account for help on their forums I figured I would start here.
I have created a form for my website so that someone can contact us.
But when the person clicks the 'send' button it takes them to a 404 page, which the address reads:
website address - /working/mail.php
I know Wordpress supports .php files and I have mine correctly named and wasn't sure if I am missing something
<div id="FGSform">
<form action="mail.php" method="post" name="contactFGS" id="contactFGS">
<ul>

I have never created a form before, but Wordpress plug-ins are terrible designed and/or over complicate the form giving me little control over what I want in it.
Any help is much appreciated.
I cannot post comments yet or I would add this as a comment but it seems there is no mail.php file. Can you check the full path to the file? It's not in / or in /working/.
Edit in response to your comment:
You should try two things in that order:
Output the result of the form just to check that you are reaching
the form processing file and that everything is working on that
side.
Send an email to yourself using basic parameters, in a file with no
link with the form. This way you'll know if you are able to send
emails properly and you'll be closer to a solution.
Let us know what you find.
After time spent with the OP to find out what the problem was, have determined the following solution:
Set your your form action to this
<form action="/working/wp-content/themes/NEW/mail.php" method="post" name="contactFGS" id="contactFGS">
Since the mail.php file (handler) was inside a themes folder, and not as previously thought.
Change the path in the form tag to /mail.php or whatever is the url of mail.php
EDIT:
Incase it's not clear, just change the form action to the url of your mail.php..
