Is there a way to make a modal window popup when a input is skipped ?
For example, if someone forgets to put in their email, my current php mail file opens a blank page thats says please enter email, but I want a modal window (preferably with an image), that says the same thing without leaving my page.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="9;URL=Thankyou.html">
</head>
<?php
$EmailFrom = "mail#live.com";
$EmailTo = "mail#live.com";
$Subject = "REQUEST";
$Name = check_input($_POST['Name']);
$Phone = check_input($_POST['Phone']);
$Email = check_input($_POST['Email'], "Enter a Email");
$Message = check_input($_POST['Message']);
if (! preg_match("/([\w\-]+\#[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $Email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
if ($Email != 'Email')
{
$message = "Name: ".$Name;
$message .= "\n\nEmail: ".$Email;
$message .= "\n\nPhone: ".$Phone;
$message .= "\n\nMessage: ".$Message;
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $message, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
if ($success)
{
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="0; URL=Thankyou.html">';
exit;
}
else
{
print ("<b>I'm sorry, there was a technical glitch, please send your email to me#gmysite.com directly.</b>");
}
}
else
{
echo "Please fill the required fields, thankyou";
}
function check_input($data, $problem = '')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<html>
<body>
<p>Please correct the following error:</p>
<strong><?php echo $myError; ?></strong>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>
There are a few solutions.
The easiest is to add the html5 required attribute to the form fields that are required. That will not give you any options for a pop-up with images though, just a warning in modern browsers that the user cannot submit the form until the field is filled in.
To add a global pop-up window on the same page, you would need javascript. Just check if any of the required fields is empty when you submit the form and display your global overlay if there is. You'd have to write it yourself though...
The HTML5 standard includes the dialog element with a javascript api to open and close it. However, this is not supported cross-browser yet. You always could use the polyfill tough, which will allow you to use the dialog element before it is supported cross-browser.

I currently have a contact page that emails me when it gets submitted. I want to send the fields to another htm page on the server instead so staff can access the information by viewing the page in their browser. So even if they don't have access to email, they can view the page from their browser.
The information sent must accumulate on the form, ie new submissions must submit to the ame form without deleting previous submissions.
Do I amend the code? Do I make a few changes like changing the 'mymail' to 'myform = "form.htm" ' I made a few changes and tried submitting but have no idea how to make the form work.
Below is the code that sends the email.
<?php
/* Set e-mail recipient */
$myemail = "mail#abc.co.za";
$subject = "Contact Form";
/* Check all form inputs using check_input function */
$name = check_input($_POST['name']);
$contactnr = check_input($_POST['contactnr']);
$email = check_input($_POST['email']);
$phoneoremail = check_input($_POST['phoneoremail']);
$message = check_input($_POST['message']);
$ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$iphost = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
/* If e-mail is not valid show error message */
if (!preg_match("/([\w\-]+\#[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/", $email))
{
show_error("E-mail address not valid");
}
/* If URL is not valid set $website to empty */
if (!preg_match("/^(https?:\/\/+[\w\-]+\.[\w\-]+)/i", $website))
{
$website = '';
}
/* Prepare the message for the e-mail */
$message = "Contact form has been submitted
Details:
Name: $name
Phone Number: $contactnr
E-mail: $email
Message: $message
Sender IP Address: $ipaddress
Form submitted via server: $iphost
End of message
";
/* Send the message using mail() function */
mail($myemail, $subject, $message);
/* Redirect visitor to the thank you page */
header('Location: thankyou.htm');
exit();
/* Functions we used */
function check_input($data, $problem='')
{
$data = trim($data);
$data = stripslashes($data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
if ($problem && strlen($data) == 0)
{
show_error($problem);
}
return $data;
}
function show_error($myError)
{
?>
<html>
<body>
<b>Please provide missing information so we can assist you:</b><br />
<?php echo $myError; ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
exit();
}
?>
If you want to post this to an HTML page aswell as sending it per E-Mail, why don't you just write to an HTML file?
$file = 'formdata.html';
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new person to the file
$current .= "Details:<br>
Name: $name<br>
Phone Number: $contactnr<br>
E-mail: $email<br>
Message: $message<br>
Sender IP Address: $ipaddress<br>
Form submitted via server: $iphost<br><hr>";
// Write the contents to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);
Maybe include formdata.html then as an iFrame on a page only the staff can access?
So I have a contact form where customers can fill in their details. When submitted, the form posts the information across to a PHP script that then formats it into html and emails it to my business email.
The only problem I have is that I keep receiving blank emails at random. Obviously the PHP script is being triggered and an email is being sent but I'm not sure why.
The form has required fields so even if someone tried to submit it blank, it wouldnt let them. When I recieve these emails, there should at least be something in them.
I've thought about adding some extra validation to the PHP script to check if any of the required values are empty/missing, but the form deals with this anyway.
Does anyone know what is happening? It's probably something simple i've overlooked.
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$budget = $_POST['budget'];
$timeframe = $_POST['timeframe'];
$desc = $_POST['desc'];

"You have received an enquiry",
"<html>

I have looked at several different tutorials on how to complete this but none of the solutions seem to be working.
I think your problem is at this line
if($_POST['headphones'] == Yes){
It needs to be
if($_POST['headphones'] == "Yes"){
You dont have a variable named Yes so i think you want to check if the content of headphones is "yes".
I read this post: What is a good invisible captcha? about using a hidden field in a web form to stop basic bots from pelting your website with spam mail via your web sites form mail. I'm currently using a php script to process my form mail. I built the script by following a 'bullet proff web form' tutorial I found. It looks like this:
<?php
// Pick up the form data and assign it to variables
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$topic = $_POST['topic'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
// Build the email (replace the address in the $to section with your own)
$to = 'hello#cipherbunny.com';
$subject = "New message: $topic";
$message = "$name said: $comments";
$headers = "From: $email";
// Data cleaning function
function clean_data($string) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$string = stripslashes($string);
}
$string = strip_tags($string);
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
// Mail header removal
function remove_headers($string) {
$headers = array(
"/to\:/i",
"/from\:/i",
"/bcc\:/i",
"/cc\:/i",
"/Content\-Transfer\-Encoding\:/i",
"/Content\-Type\:/i",
"/Mime\-Version\:/i"
);
$string = preg_replace($headers, '', $string);
return strip_tags($string);
}
// Pick up the cleaned form data
$name = remove_headers($_POST['name']);
$email = remove_headers($_POST['email']);
$topic = remove_headers($_POST['topic']);
$comments = remove_headers($_POST['comments']);
// Send the mail using PHPs mail() function
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// Redirect
header("Location: http://foobar/success.html");
I'd like to modify this script so that if a hidden field with the identifier 'other_email' was filled in then the form email wouldn't get sent. I'm guess it's as straight forward as wrapping the above code in an if statement to check if the field is complete. I've tried adding this under the "//Pick up the form data and assign it to variables" code:
$testBot = $_POST['other_email'];
then writing:
if(other_email == "") //If other_email form section is blank then...
{
run all the code above inserted here;
}
else
{
Don't know what I should put here to stop it posting, yet still show the success form so
the spam bot don't know
}
any help much appreciated. I have to say I don't really have a lot of php knowledge, I'm just starting to learn about it and thought form mail would be a good start.
How do I make this work in PhP?
if(other_email == "") //If other_email form section is blank then...
{
run all the code above inserted here;
}
else
{
header("Location: http://foobar/success.html");
}
keeping it very simple, it will work for you..
actually, it will
not submit / mail you anything...so NO SPAM
a simple bot will take it as it did it...
if you can use php on success page, then set a session variable (to make bot think it did its job, something like email_sent=true or success=true) and use that variable in success page, you will do it in else case where bot submitted the form..
Do you mean send message with fields?
Try this:
<?php
// Pick up the form data and assign it to variables
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$topic = $_REQUEST['topic'];
$comments = $_REQUEST['comments'];
// Build the email (replace the address in the $to section with your own)
if($name !== null && $email !== null && $topic !== null && $comments !== null){
$to = 'hello#cipherbunny.com';
$subject = "New message: $topic";
$message = "$name said: $comments";
$headers = "From: $email";
// Data cleaning function
function clean_data($string) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$string = stripslashes($string);
}
$string = strip_tags($string);
return mysql_real_escape_string($string);
}
// Mail header removal
function remove_headers($string) {
$headers = array(
"/to\:/i",
"/from\:/i",
"/bcc\:/i",
"/cc\:/i",
"/Content\-Transfer\-Encoding\:/i",
"/Content\-Type\:/i",
"/Mime\-Version\:/i"
);
$string = preg_replace($headers, '', $string);
return strip_tags($string);
}
// Pick up the cleaned form data
$name = remove_headers($_POST['name']);
$email = remove_headers($_POST['email']);
$topic = remove_headers($_POST['topic']);
$comments = remove_headers($_POST['comments']);
// Send the mail using PHPs mail() function
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// Redirect
header("Location: http://foobar/success.html");
}
?>

I've never done that before and simply need a little advice how to do so …
I have a index.php file with a simple contact form.
<form id="contactform" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] ?>">
The index.php file has the following script on top.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
<?php
//Vars
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['author']));
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
$Type = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['type']));
$Comment = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message']));
$EmailTo = "address#something.com";
//Validation
$valid = true;
if ( $Name == "" ) $valid = false;
if ( isValidEmail( $EmailFrom ) == 0 ) $valid = false;
if ($Subject == "") $valid = false;
if ($Comment == "") $valid = false;
function isValidEmail( $email = null ) {
return preg_match( "/^[\d\w\/+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-][\d\w\/\.+!=#|$?%{^&}*`'~-]*#[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9.-]{1,61}[A-Z0-9]\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/ix", $email );
}
//Body
$Body = $Type;
$Body .= "\n\n";
$Body .= $Comment;
//Headers
$email_header = "From: " . $EmailFrom . "\r\n";
$email_header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$email_header .= "Reply-To: " . $EmailFrom . " \r\n";
//Send
if ($valid)
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $email_header);
?>
I have two questions now:
1.)
How exactly can I render/not-render certain stuff when either the validation went wrong or a success or an error comes back when submitting the mail?
e.g. I know that I can do that!
if ( !$valid )
print "Failed to make contact. Enter valid login credentials! <a href='/#contact' title='try again'>try again?</a>";
if ( $success )
print "Successfully made contact.";
else
print "Failed to make contact. <a href='/#contact' title='try again'>try again?</a>"; */
?>
However $valid will always be wrong on page-load when not submitting the form and also the email will always return the error message on the first page load. How can I only render or not render specific stuff when the form is submitted?
E.g. When submitting the form and a success comes back I don't want to render the #contactform anymore. I simply want to print "Successfully made contact" into an h1 or so.
How can I make that happen? It's probably rather simple I just can't find a solution for myself.
2.)
When using $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] or PHP_SELF as action the url after submitting the form will always change to "mydomain.com/index.php". Can I prevent that from happening? I want to submit the index.php file itself however I just don't like it when /index.php is written into the url. Is it possible to stop that from happening?
Thank you for your help!
Matt,
For the first question as to printing to the screen based on success or failure of the email, your checks seem fine, but you probably aren't going to get an email failure in time to display that to the screen. That said, you just need to wrap your second set of code in an if statement. Something like this:
if( isset($_POST['Submit']) ){ //only attempt to display if form submitted.
//Your code here
}
As for not including the directory in the form action, there are many ways to do this, but here's one:
$scriptString= explode('/',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$scriptSize = count($scriptString)-1;
$script = $scriptString[$scriptSize];
And then use $script in the form action.
