PHP and HTML Contact box: how much for it

[london11]

Hi there

I would like some one to help me with a contact box for my website. when you submit an email that i not filed i want it to give an errror message to go back and fill in the blank filed. once submited i want it to take them to a page that say thank you for submiting, once that is done they get taken automaticaly to the home page.

Well here is the code I have on my one which works fine, just change the parts that are different for you such as e-mail etc.

The HTML FORM:


<form action="send.php" method="post">
Name:
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<br />
E-Mail:
<input type="text" name="email"/>
<br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name="message" cols="60" rows="7"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Message!" />
</form>

then in send.php have:


<?php
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "webadmin@woprid.com";
$subject = "Contact From";

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$time = time();
$status = "Attempted to send message at: $time";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

$status = "Message Failure! Please wait 10 minutes then try again, if the error persists you may contact the web admin at webadmin@woprid.com.";

}
?>

To have it auto go back to the home page I think you could add:


header(location: http://www.example.com/);

HI there

thanks for that i will try it today

[london11]

were do i add header(location: http://www.example.com/); part

[evildrummer]

the end of the send.php before the ?> but so send.php becomes:


<?php
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "webadmin@woprid.com";
$subject = "Contact From";

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$time = time();
$status = "Attempted to send message at: $time";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

$status = "Message Failure! Please wait 10 minutes then try again, if the error persists you may contact the web admin at webadmin@woprid.com.";

}
header(location: "http://www.example.com/");
?>

it works but when you dont fill in the fileds and you send the mail it sends you an empty email. this will mean people can spam your website and send you a lot of emails with just one click

can you help me

[evildrummer]

You can check if You can check if the variables are set, I think you could do something such as:


<?php
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$valid = 0;
if (isset($name_field)) {
$valid++;
}
if (isset($email_field)) {
$valid++;
}
if (isset($message)) {
$valid++;
}
if($valid == 3;) {

$to = "webadmin@woprid.com";
$subject = "Contact From";

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$time = time();
$status = "Attempted to send message at: $time";
mail($to, $subject, $body);

} else {

$status = "Message Failure! Please wait 10 minutes then try again, if the error persists you may contact the web admin at webadmin@woprid.com.";

}
header(location: "http://www.example.com/");
?>

Ok, maybe this send.php might work:


<?php

if(isset($_POST['name']) || isset($_POST['name']) || isset($_POST['name'])) {
$name_field = $_POST['name'];
$email_field = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "webadmin@woprid.com";
$subject = "Contact From";

$body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message";
$time = time();
$status = "Attempted to send message at: $time";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
header(location: "http://www.example.com/");

} else {
echo 'ERROR!!!!!';
//insert extra error code if needed
}
?>

[london11]

do you have the compleate code with the html thamks man

[LooInSpain]

Here is the one I use for one of my websites:

html code:

<p class="style3">Please complete our form and click the SUBMIT button to send us an email with your details and requirements. We will contact you as soon as possible.</p>
<FORM ACTION="contact.php" METHOD=POST>
<p align="left" class="style5 style2">Name <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name" SIZE="30"></p>
<p align="left" class="style5 style2">E-Mail Address <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="email" SIZE="30"></p>
<p align="center" class="style2">
<INPUT name="Submit" TYPE="Submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT TYPE="reset">
</p

and a seperate php sheet entitled contact.php
<?php
$mailto = 'you@youremail.com';
$subject = "Email Title" ;
$formurl = "http://www.yoursite.com/contact.html" ;
$errorurl = "http://www.yoursite.com/error.html" ;
$thankyouurl = "http://www.yoursite.com/thanks.html" ;
$uself = 0;
$headersep = (!isset( $uself ) || ($uself == 0)) ? "\r\n" : "\n" ;
$name = $_POST['name'] ;
$email = $_POST['email'] ;
$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );
if (!isset($_POST['email'])) {
header( "Location: $formurl" );
exit ;
}
if (empty($name) || empty($email) ) {
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
}
if ( ereg( "[\r\n]", $name ) || ereg( "[\r\n]", $email ) ) {
header( "Location: $errorurl" );
exit ;
}
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$comments = stripslashes( $comments );
}
$messageproper =
"This message was sent from:\n" .
"$http_referrer\n" .
"------------------------------------------------------------\n" .
"Name of sender: $name\n" .
"Email of sender: $email\n" .
"\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n" ;
mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper,
"From: \"$name\" <$email>" . $headersep . "Reply-To: \"$name\" <$email>" );
header( "Location: $thankyouurl" );
exit ;
?>

With this you need to create seperate error and thanks pages whether they enter all the info needed or not. Once all the data has been completed they will get the thanks message and you will receive an email with their name and email as they have filled in.

If you need extra input boxes just copy one of those in the html code and change the NAME of it, then make sure you copy that onto the php sheet as well.

Let me know if this is what you needed.

[xoxspankyxox]

I am new to these sort of thing so i am not so sure how to go about this.
I am looking for a code to use in my website as a form of contact/feedback code
i have seen many. i also have made one myself or updated one for a friend for her site
i am not so sure i understand where i need to put the email addy at to where i want the replies an so forth done. I was wondering if this is differnt for html codes as it is for php type code.
could someone offer me some assistance??

[london11]

this is were you add your email code:
<?php
$mailto = 'you@youremail.com'; when they fill in the contact box, this part of the code will send it to your email code. just change that part 'you@youremail.com'

[london11]

[xoxspankyxox]

Thank you so much for the help. I will be trying this out in the next couple days to see if it works.
