So I have published my website, but am making minor improvements to it as time progresses. Just a note: I am impatient and this is making me want to obliterate myself. Help!
So the question is the title. I have a contact form on my website which uses HTML and PHP.
Here is the form on HTML:
<form action="contact.php" method="post">
Name<br>
<input type="text" name="cf_name"><br>
E-Mail<br>
<input type="text" name="cf_email"><br>
Message<br>
<textarea name="cf_message"></textarea></br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>
And here is the PHP for it:
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];
$mail_to = 'amir#arshak.co.uk';
$subject = 'ALERT! Somebody has viewed your website!'.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thanks. I have recieved your message. I may reply to the given e-mail.');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Sorry, your message failed to send. Send an email to amir#arshak.co.uk');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
I can't figure out what is wrong with the code!
If the problem is that the email won't send...
You are allowing the from and reply-to addresses to be set to whatever is entered into the form.
A lot of mail servers will only allow an email to be sent where the from address matches the email address used to authenticate with the server.
This could possibly be causing your issue although it's hard to say without much more information.
Currently My contact form goes to another page when submitted with an alert that says thankyou for contacting us but, what I want it to do is say thankyou for contact us as a pop up or text on the screen, anywhere to say thank you but just on the same page as the contact form
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];
$mail_to = ' dsaas#asadsd.asdasd';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');
window.location = 'contact_page.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon#template-help.com');
window.location = 'contact_page.html';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
<form action="contact.php" style="height:auto;" class="form" method="post">
<h1>Your name</h1>
<input type="text" class="form textbox" name="cf_name"><br>
<h1>Your e-mail</h1>
<input type="text" class="form textbox" name="cf_email"><br>
<h1>Message</h1>
<textarea class="form textbox" name="cf_message"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
I have tried replacing the if statement to
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<div><h1>thank you for submitting the contcat form</h1> </div>
<?php
}
But this still went to another page
You need to validate your data before sending.
if(isset($_POST['submit']){
$field_name = isset($_POST['cf_name'])? $_POST['cf_name']:'';
$field_email = isset($_POST['cf_email'])? $_POST['cf_email']:'';
$field_message = isset($_POST['cf_message'])? $_POST['cf_message']:'';
if(empty($field_name){
$error = 'Field Name is blank';
}elseif(empty($field_email) || filter_var($field_email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$error = 'Email is invalid';
}elseif(empty($field_message)){
$error = 'Message is blank';
}else{
$mail_to = ' dsaas#asadsd.asdasd';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if($mail_status){ ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message. We will contact you shortly.');
document.getElementById("myForm").reset();//reset the form
</script>
<?php }else{ ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to gordon#template-help.com');
//document.getElementById("myForm").reset();//Reset the form
</script>
<?php }
}
}
Since you don't want to go to another, you can post in the same page by specifying the action like below or you don't necessarily need to do.
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"
style="height:auto;" class="form" id="myForm" method="post">
<h1>Your name</h1>
<input type="text" class="form textbox" name="cf_name"><br>
<h1>Your e-mail</h1>
<input type="text" class="form textbox" name="cf_email"><br>
<h1>Message</h1>
<textarea class="form textbox" name="cf_message"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<div class="error">
<?php if(!empty($error)){ echo $error; } ?>
</div>
Hope this may help.
I have tried looking in similar questions posted here, but cannot find an answer (got about 1900 questions popping up).
I have a contact form on a page at a site I am creating on the webpage hosting site
https://www.one.com/en/
Here is the form on the page contact/contact.shtml
<form action="contact/mail.php" method="post"><br>
Your name<br>
<input type="text" name="cf_name"><br>
Your e-mail<br>
<input type="text" name="cf_email"><br>
Message<br>
<textarea name="cf_message"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
</form>
Here is the content of the contact/mail.php file
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];
$mail_to = 'clashton#gmail.com';
$subject = ' Contact Form '.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";

else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. Please, send an email to clashton#gmail.com');
window.location = 'contact.shtml';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
When I try to send a message a window pops up containing the error message "Message failed. Please, send an email to clashton#gmail.com". In other words the "else" action is happening.
If it seems that this question has a trivial answer, please keep in mind that I am completely new at this.
Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to add a contact form to my website but each time I click send it takes me to a black window and the address bar says contact.php. Also it doesn't redirect back.
My website is hosted as an application using the google app engine.
I tried literally everything but I can't get it to work.
Below is my HTML code:
<form action="contact.php" method="post">
<p>Your name</p>
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<p>Your e-mail</p>
<input type="text" name="email"/>
<p>Message</p>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Send"/>
<input type="reset" value="Clear"/>
</form>
and here is my PHP code:
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['name'];
$field_email = $_POST['email'];
$field_message = $_POST['message'];
$mail_to = 'email#here.com';
$subject = 'Message from a site visitor '.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message.');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed.');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
You need a mail server, PHP doesn't sent mails by itself. Install one first. And yea, text area is missing close tag.
You're missing the closing textarea tag in your form. I tried the code as contact.php on my server and it works. I agree with itachi, you need to turn on error reporting.
Why not make contact.php a full page and get rid of the redirect altogether?
Working fine for me. Your if else condition is not working properly if fields has no values then still it gives thank you message.
