I know it has been asked a lot on this website but i just need to know how to do it.
I've got a code in html on CSS3 for an e-mail form. The only thing that is left for me is to make it work. My website is on the same server as my e-mail.
This is the coding.

If some one can help me out it would be a blast.
OK. I created the PHP code that tested and worked.
Firstly replace your HTML cede with this
<form class="contact_form" action="submit.php" method="post" name="contact_form">
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Contact Us</h2>
<span class="required_notification">* Denotes Required Field</span>
</li>
<li>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="John Doe" required />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="john_doe#example.com" required />
<span class="form_hint">Proper format "name#something.com"</span>
</li>
<li>
<label for="website">Website:</label>
<input name="website" type="url" name="website" placeholder="http://johndoe.com" required pattern="(http|https)://.+"/>
<span class="form_hint">Proper format "http://someaddress.com"</span>
</li>
<li>
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="6" required ></textarea>
</li>
<li>
<button class="submit" type="submit">Submit Form</button>
</li>
</ul>
</form>
Your CSS will be the same and PHP code is this:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = 'your#email.com';
$headers = 'From: '.$email."\r\n" .'Reply-To: '.$email."\r\n" .'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$subject = $subject;
$body.='Name: '.$name."\n";
$body.='Email: '.$email."\n";
$body.='Website: '.$website."\n";
$body.='Message: '."\n".$message."\n";
if(mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
die('Mail sent');
}
else {
die('Error: Mail failed');
}
?>
In $to on PHP write your email.
Note: You need to write PHP code on submit.php

This question already has answers here:
Send email with PHP from html form on submit with the same script
(8 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
So, I want to set up a feedback section on my site, and the code seemed to work just fine in w3school's TryIt Editor but for some reason it didn't work on my site.
I found another question, also here on stack overflow which is pretty similar but I saw this answer...
mailto: form actions depend on browsers and local email clients playing together nicely. They do this so rarely that mailto: form actions are unusable on the WWW.
Replace it with a server side program that sends the email.
Could someone possibly give an example of what this meant? It was pretty vague, I'm assuming they meant something like PHP, but I'm not quite sure.

Replace it with a server side program that sends the email.
Means, mailto will not work, you need to use any server side
programs to process the email like PHP mail function.
Example:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Learn detail about PHP mail function from PHP.net
You can retrive data from the form and use in the mail function of PHP.
I'm a newbee in Laravel and i start to do a dropdown login menu
but i don't know how to directly login from this form in Laravel, which don't need using auth/login. Thank you so much!
This is the dropdown sample i try
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.active-links').click(function () {
if ($('#signin-dropdown').is(":visible")) {
$('#signin-dropdown').hide()
$('#session').removeClass('active');
} else {
$('#signin-dropdown').show()
$('#session').addClass('active');
}
return false;
});
$('#signin-dropdown').click(function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
$(document).click(function() {
$('#signin-dropdown').hide();
$('#session').removeClass('active');
});
});

It is because you do not upload the images therefore sending the location of file does not help.
I am not going to provide the implementation as it depends on the abstract solution you choose:
a) upload the image to your server and send the image to you
b) upload the image to a file sharing website and send the image to you
First, You need to upload image to your server, then create a link http://abcd.com/directory/uploaded-image.jpg and send it in email. For this you could use very simple php function
move_uploaded_files
see example here
Recently I've given a task to create a data inquiry system. The system required user to fill in the form. When it is submitted, the data will be validated by the admin and connected to the database.
This is my form.html:

And the form will be transfered to submit.php (I did the database using mysql). I use wampserver.
<?php
//debug mode
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
//to show some error is smthng went wrong
$errors = array();
function connect(){
$connection = mysql_connect(localhost, root, "" ); //I have no idea what the password is. where could I set one?
$db = mysql_select_db(permohonan_data,$connection);
if (!$connection || !$db){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
}
echo "first stage";
//will run if user did submit the form
if (!empty($_POST)){
echo "second stage";
//connect sql server:
if (!connect()){
$errors[] = "Can't establish link to MySql server";
}
$name = $_POST['name'];
$position = $_POST['position'];
$unit = $_POST['unit'];
$institute = $_POST['institute'];
$telefon = $_POST['telefon'];
$faks = $_POST['faks'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$data = $_POST['data'];
$purpose = $_POST['purpose'];
echo "third stage";
//no error til here
if (empty($error)){
//prevent SQL injection
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($name);
$position = mysql_real_escape_string($position);
$unit = mysql_real_escape_string($unit);
$institute = mysql_real_escape_string($institute);
$telefon = mysql_real_escape_string($telefon);
$faks = mysql_real_escape_string($faks);
$email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
$data = mysql_real_escape_string($data);
$purpose = mysql_real_escape_string($purpose);
}
echo "fourth stage";
//try insert value
$query = "INSERT INTO 'user'
(name,position,unit,institute,telefon,faks,email,data,purpose)
VALUES ('$name', '$position', '$unit', '$institute', '$telefon', '$faks', '$email', '$data', '$purpose')";
if (!mysql_query($query)){
//
//die(mysql_error());
$errors[] = "Can't insert the values";
}
else {
//on success
header('location:C:\wamp\www\FORM\thankyou.php');
}
}
?>
Which the result gives no errors, I've put the reporting error syntax, but also nothing is displayed to the screen. The script are still visual at the page source though. And when I put the echo part, the script just runs until "first stage". It didn't redirect to thankyou.php. What did I do wrong? And how can I connect this to the database? I did the $connect part, but it still vague to me. please help.
This is the thankyou.php:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>thank you!</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="stylesphp.css" >
</head>
<body bgcolor="#13b4ff">
<div class="boxed";>
<div id="thankyou" style= "text-align:center; font-size:50px;">THANK YOU</div><br>
Your inquiry has been submitted. Please wait 24 hours. <br>
You will be notify by email.
<p> return to <a class="a" href="http://www.moe.gov.my/en/home" target="_self">main page.</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EDIT, thanks to Fred -ii- and Joni Salmi, I have fix the error.
but it shows this instead:
Notice: Undefined index: email in C:\wamp\www\FORM\submit.php on line 39.
this is line 39
$email = $_POST['email'];
As per your original question
$_POST is a "superglobal" and MUST be in uppercase.
You have:
if (!empty($_post)){
Change it to:
if (!empty($_POST)){
That seems to be the most likely part of the problem.
As far as I can tell, the rest of your code seems OK to me, besides the fact that you're using a deprecated mysql_ function.
EDIT
As Joni Salmi pointed out in a comment,
you are using msql_connect which should be mysql_connect
Credit to Joni (Salmi)
Change:
$connection = msql_connect(localhost, root, "" );
missing "y" => ^
to:
$connection = mysql_connect(localhost, root, "" );
Also as per your comment about Undefined index: email error message.
Change this line:
<input type="email" name="name" placeholder="name#something.com"/ required>
to:
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="name#something.com"/ required>
You had:
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" required />
with the same named input field of name="name" as your email input.
Edit #2
Use backticks instead of quotes for your table name.
You have:
$query = "INSERT INTO 'user'
Use (backticks):
$query = "INSERT INTO `user`
You can even remove the quotes: (but backticks are better)
$query = "INSERT INTO user
RE: Undefined index:
You have incorrectly named the input fied that is to hold the email address in the HTML
<input type="email" name="name" placeholder="name#something.com"/ required>
Change it to
<input type="email" name="email" placeholder="name#something.com"/ required>
Note the name="email"
The names you give the fields in HTML control the fieldnames used in the $_POST array.
In the below code i have placed the controller.the actual result is ligin is in center position but it is in the bottom.My expected result is login should come in center of the page.pls help me to do this.
