send a mail from your website - Page 2

d a v e · 05-12-2015, 12:44 PM

hmm - put in the new html and php and used my email address http://gekkoweb.com/hl2015/form.html but now when i fill it in and press submit it simply refreshes the form or empties it. no email arrives, it isn't redirected to the thank you page. no error message

edbr · 05-12-2015, 02:03 PM

Thats odd.ill check in the morning when i get in the office. I did test it live this time so im not sure at the moment

d a v e · 05-12-2015, 02:11 PM

probably me then

i'll try it again when i get time and let you know

d a v e · 05-12-2015, 02:15 PM

tried again - copy and pasted you code and only modifed the email (to mine) same thing. form just resets

edbr · 05-13-2015, 01:15 AM

sorry Dave the error is at the form i suspect, when i tested this i used as a one page, ie the php block above the html code. i then just split it and posted separately.
I retested it today and it is working. BTW to debug change in the form

Code:

<input class="robotic" type="text" name="myrealname" id="myrealname">

to <input class="robotic" type="text" name="myrealname" id="myrealname" value="anything">

that should kill the script as if a spambot filled the form

d a v e · 05-13-2015, 04:32 AM

not sure i understand - changed that line and it still doesn't work - did you mean something else?

edbr · 05-13-2015, 04:47 AM

ok im rambling again. on your form you have send.php as the action so are you changing the php in send.php?
in any case here it is again but as one page, so it calls itself once submitted. this definitely works this time it sends an html mail. give it a whirl

Code:

<?php
  $machine = $_POST['myrealname'];
    if ($machine != "")
    { echo 'naff off spammer';
        exit(); //if a spambot filled out the "machine"
                //field, we don't proceed
    }
        else{
 
 
    if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && $_POST['name'] != "") {
		
		$th_url= "thankyou.html";   // modify to page redirect after mail succsessfully sent
 
        if ($_POST['name'] != "") {
            $_POST['name'] = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
            if ($_POST['name'] == "") {
                $errors .= 'Please enter a valid name.<br/><br/>';
            }
        } else {
            $errors .= 'Please enter your name.<br/>';
        }
 
        if ($_POST['email'] != "") {
            $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
            if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
                $errors .= "$email is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid email address.<br/><br/>";
            }
        } else {
            $errors .= 'Please enter your email address.<br/>';
        }
		
	/*	Validating  web address in form field  **********************************************     */
		
		   if ($_POST['website'] != "") {
            $website = filter_var($_POST['website'], FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
            if (!filter_var($website, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
                $errors .= "$website is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid URL.<br/><br/>";
            }
        } else {
            $errors .= 'Please enter your home page.<br/>';
        }
	/*	 end Validating  web address in form field  **********************************************     */	
 
      
        if ($_POST['Message'] != "") {
            $_POST['Message'] = filter_var($_POST['Message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
            if ($_POST['Message'] == "") {
                $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>';
            }
        } else {
            $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>';
        }
 
        if (!$errors) {
            $to = 'myemail@gmail.com';
            $subject = 'New Mail from  ' . $_POST['email'];
			
			  $headers = "From: " . strip_tags($to) . "\r\n";
  $headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($to) . "\r\n";
   $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

acctually i just tested your fornm and it retured the error please enter home page which is not on the form.

the validaytion for that is

Code:

/*	Validating  web address in form field  **********************************************     */
		
		   if ($_POST['website'] != "") {
            $website = filter_var($_POST['website'], FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
            if (!filter_var($website, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
                $errors .= "$website is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid URL.<br/><br/>";
            }
        } else {
            $errors .= 'Please enter your home page.<br/>';
        }

its not my favorite as it must include http:// and i think that can be a problem. you can remove or comment that out if you choose

edbr · 05-13-2015, 04:57 AM
