I have a pretty standard contact form with inputs for name, email address and phone number. As well as sending the email to the specified email address as per a standard form,
$to = 'diysoakwells#hotmail.com';
I would also like to send the email to the user using the address from the email address input from the form. I was thinking using the post variable from the email input like this would work:
$to = 'diysoakwells#hotmail.com', $email;
but no luck. Can someone point me in the right directiona and are there any security risks in using this approach? I ultimately aim to provide the user with a checkbox that if checked sends a copy of the email to themselves.
Here is a link to my form

Thankyou in advance : )

What your doing is not what you want to do. Concatenating two strings in PHP is done with the . not the , so the correct syntax is:
$to = 'diysoakwells#hotmail.com'.", ".$emaile;
or simply
$to = "diysoakwells#hotmail.com, $emaile";
That's assuming that the code in charge of sending the email uses php's mail() function, which allows multiple emails in the $to argument. If that doesn't work, I can't be of more use without seeing the actual code.
The 'to' field on emails accepts a string, with the email address comma-separated.
$to = 'diysoakwell#hotmail.com, ' . $emaile;
should do the trick.
You should check the email address that they provide is formatted as an email address, and it would be a good idea to have a CAPTCHA to prevent automated bots from using your form as a spamming tool.
If you use php mail() function you can send copy by specifying additional headers like that:
$headers = 'Cc: '.$emaile;
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I've created a web site and I'm using this link for a JS pop up form to be emailed using PHP.
I also used the code from here and everything works except for a couple things. When I don't remove some variables, the order of information is out of place when it emails.
And when I keep all the variables, I get the following error in a log and nothing sends until I remove them:
PHP Warning: mail() expects at most 5 parameters, 7 given in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/quote.php on line 41
Below is the code where the error is coming from:
else{
$Company = $_POST['company'];
$Email = $_POST['vemail'];
$Name = $_POST['name'];
$Number = $_POST['number'];
$Info = $_POST['info'];
$headers = 'From:'. $email2 . "\r\n"; // Sender's Email
$headers .= 'Cc:'. $email2 . "\r\n"; // Carbon copy to Sender
// Message lines should not exceed 70 characters (PHP rule), so wrap it
// $message = wordwrap($message, 70);
// Send Mail By PHP Mail Function
mail("info#bvcdenver.com", $Company, $Email, $Name, $Number, $Info, $headers);
echo "Your quote request has been sent successfuly ! Thank you for your interst. You are being redirected back to xxxxxxxxxxxx in 5 seconds.";
}
How can I send all the variable? Order won't matter if I can get them all to send.
Note: I don't have a lot of scripting experience. This site is created using only HTML/CSS and these PHP and JS sections. So ideally I'd like to not change the entire site.
You need to proper use the php mail function() as it is stated here http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php.
The max number of parameters is 5:
- TO ( in your case: "info#bvcdenver.com" )
- SUBJECT ( in your case: $Company )
- MESSAGE ( in your case: $Email )
the last 2 are additional headers and additional parameters.
If you want to send all the data "email, name, number and info" you should organize a string/text variable and put it on the 3rd place
like:
$message = $Email . " - " . $Name . " - " . $Number . " - " . $Info;
mail("info#bvcdenver.com", $company, $message, $headers);
This should do the work and you can customize the message numbers how you want, with html or raw new lines, and get a proper template.
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';//pass every variable into message
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Hi I asked this question a year ago but couldnt solve it and am now having another go.
link to the original question:
Send email to address from form input
I need to send the form data from my form to the specified address 'diysoakwells#hotmail.com' and also the email address from the form field which is assigned the variable $emaile. As it is the email arrives at diysoakwells#hotmail.com but not the variable address ($emaile). I cant understand why but it is definitely picking up the form data as it has all the details included in the email when I receive it at diysoakwells#hotmail.com. I basically want a copy of the order sent to the user as well as myself.
<?php
include_once("wsp_captcha.php");
if(WSP_CheckImageCode() != "OK") {
header('location:/form-rejected.php');
die();
}
$subject = 'Order Inquiry';
$jcitems = " <p><b>ORDER:</b></p><p> " . $_POST['jcitems']."<p/>" . "<p><b>Total:</b> $" . $_POST['jctotal']."</p>";
$time = date ("h:i A");
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: inquiry#DIYSoakwells.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: noreply#diysoakwells.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$emaile = $_POST['emaile'];
$textbox = $_POST['textbox'];
$to = "diysoakwells#hotmail.com,$emaile";
$text = "<html><body><p>This form was submitted on Your Web Site on \n $date at\n $time</p><p><b>Message:</b>\n$textbox</p><p><b>Customers Email Address:</b> $emaile</p><p><b>Customers Name:</b> $name </p><p><b>Customers Phone Number:</b> $phone </p></html></body>";
$body = $text . $jcitems;
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
Header('Location: ../form-accepted.php');
?>
Please help if you can I will be monitoring this for the next few days. Open to suggestions/explanations!!!
$to = "diysoakwells#hotmail.com;" . filter_var($emaile, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL);
You may also want to try this....
$to = "diysoakwells#hotmail.com;<" . filter_var($emaile, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) . ">";
I'm using dreamhost for my mailing.
I'm having an issue with php mail function additional headers parameters.
This code works, and the email is sent:
$to = 'myemail#gmail.com';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From: $name <**webmaster#example.com**>\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $name <**webmaster#example.com**>\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
but when I replace webmaster#example.com to the variable $email
$headers = "From: $name <**$email**>\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $name <**$email**>\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
The email doesn't get sent. I did do a print_r($_POST), and the elements are there. I also did another test where I typed the email: webmaster#example.com into the form, to see if it would send, and it did. So my question is, how do I remedy this issue, if a user types their email address into the form with another mailing extension, that mail will not get sent, but if the extension is #example.com, then the mail will get sent.
$name variable should be the full emailaddress:
"$name = " 'a name' email#whatever.com> "
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
works on my servers. Add the leading < to the email addtress. This system won't display the string at all if I include it. If your form has different variables for the responders nam and email address you'll have to concatenate them to get $name in the right formate.
I'm using PHP's mail() function and noticing that my mail is being shown from being sent by 'My Website' in my inbox, but when I click on the actual email it shows it being sent from mywebsite#sitename.localdomain.
Ideally I'd like to have it say being sent from 'My Website', but the reply email being 'no-reply#mywebsite.com', and not to have it say anything about #sitename.localdomain.
$to = trim(strtolower($_POST['to']));
$from = trim($_POST['from']);
$message = trim($_POST['message']);
$subject = $from . ' has shared a link with you';
$headers = 'From: My Website' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To:' . $to . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Is this an issue that I need to fix in Apache, or can I modify the headers within PHP?
Try this:
$to = trim(strtolower($_POST['to']));
$from = trim($_POST['from']);
$message = trim($_POST['message']);
$subject = $from . ' has shared a link with you';
$headers = 'From: My Website <no-reply#mywebsite.com>' . "\r\n" . // <- change your email here
'Reply-To:' . $to . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
The Question and Answer #1 contains a serious security vulnerability -
$to = trim(strtolower($_POST['to']));
Will allow an attacker to use your website to email arbitrary spam and your site will be blocked from most search engines.
See
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Top_10_2010-A1
My recommendation is to
Sanitize the to and from fields
Never ever ever copy the message in the post to the output unless carefully sanitized.
I am using a simple HTML form for an event registration and I would like to send a PHP confirmation email to the registrant with the same information that is going to the administrator.
Here are the details:
$emailFromName = $_POST['name'];
$emailFrom = $_POST['email'];
$emailFromPhone = $_POST['phone'];
I would like to use the value from $emailFrom in the following email address to:
$emailTo = "name#domain.com", \"$emailFrom\";
edit: Added new configuration:
$emailHeaders = 'From: "Conference" <noreply#conference.org>' . 'CC: . $emailFrom .';
This obviously doesn't work, but you get the idea of what I am trying to.
Thanks!
You will need to add headers to the mail function...
for example:
$headers = 'From: Family History Conference <noreply#familyhistoryconference.org>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: noreply#familyhistoryconference.org' . "\r\n" .
'CC: ' . $emailFrom . "\r\n";
and then
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
References:
PHP Mail Function
You put "From: $name <$emailFrom>" in the additional parameters of the mail() function:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
So, basically you want to CC a copy of the message to the user as well as the administrator?
It depends on which PHP library you're using to send it. If you're using the default PHP mail() function, you'll need to add additional headers:
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'Cc: ' . $emailFrom . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail('admin#email.com', $subject, $message, $headers);
