Hello all,
New to php and this website, just started with trying to create a contact form as my first project, all seemed to be going well until I put the form online. When the form is filled in, it does no keep the data put into the form rather it send me a email like the example below:
Name: name
Email :email
Comments: comments
I have try and research all I can but now I'm running out of energy on this, if any experienced phpfreaks (pun intended) could help me by looking over my code I would be very grateful for any advice given.
Many thanks in advance Jeff.
<?php $errors = array(); $missing = array(); if (isset ($_POST['send'])) { $to = 'myemail'; $subject = 'Feedback from contact form'; $expected = array('name', 'email', 'comments'); $required = array('name', 'email', 'comments'); $headers = "From: \r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain: charset=utf-8"; $authenticate = '-myemail'; require './mailprocess.php'; if ($mailSent) { header('Location:thankyou.php'); exit; } } ?> <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Contact Form</title> </head>
<body> <h1>Contact Form</h1> <?php if (($_POST && $suspect) || ($_POST && isset($errors['mailfail']))) { ?> <p class="warning"> Your mail was not sent.</p> <?php } elseif ($errors || $missing) { ?> <p class="warning"> Please fix highlighted item(s).</p> <?php }?> <form name="contact" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>"> <p> <label for="name">Name: <?php if ($missing && in_array('name', $missing)) { ?> <span class="warning">Please enter your name</span> <?php } ?> </label> <input type="text" name="name" id="name" <?php if ($errors || $missing) { echo 'value="' . htmlentities($name, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8') . '"'; } ?> > </p> <p> <label for="email">Email: <?php if ($missing && in_array('email', $missing)) { ?> <span class="warning">Please enter your email address</span> </label> <?php } elseif (isset ($errors['email'])) { ?> <span class="warning">Invalid email address</span> <?php } ?> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" <?php if ($errors || $missing) { echo 'value="' . htmlentities($email, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8') . '"'; } ?> > </p> <p> <label for="comments">Message: <?php if ($missing && in_array('comments', $missing)) { ?> <span class="warning">Please enter your message</span> <?php } ?> </label> <textarea name="comments" id="comments"><?php if ($errors || $missing) { echo htmlentities($comments, ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); } ?></textarea> </p> <p> <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Send Message"> </p> </form> </body> </html>
And the mail process code is below here :
<?php $suspect = false; $pattern = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
function isSuspect($val, $pattern, &$suspect) { if (is_array($val)) { foreach ($val as $item) { isSuspect($item, $pattern, $suspect); } } else { if (preg_match($pattern, $val)) { $suspect = true; } } } isSuspect($_POST, $pattern, $suspect);
if (!$suspect) { foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { $temp = is_array($value) ? $value :trim($value); if (empty($temp) && in_array($key, $required)) { $missing[] = $key; $$key = ''; } elseif(in_array($key, $expected)) { $$key = $temp; } } } if (!$suspect && !empty($email)) { $validemail = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL); if ($validemail) { $headers .= "\r\nReply-to: $validemail"; } else { $errors['email'] = true; } }
if (!$suspect && !$missing && !$errors) { $message = ''; foreach ($expected as $item) { if (isset($$item) && !empty($$item)) { $val = $item; } else { $val = 'Not selected'; } if (is_array($val)) { $val = implode(', ', $val); } $item = str_replace(array('_', '-'), ' ', $item); $message .= ucfirst($item) . ": $val\r\n\r\n"; } $message = wordwrap($message, 70); $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $authenticate); if (!$mailSent) { $errors['mailfail'] = true; } }
