    Issue with contact form within Word Press

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Thanks for the reply. So I tried those two changes, changing the header didn't seem to resolve it, and replacing mail as you suggested seemed to trigger the last part of the code, as it redirected me to the page saying it hadn't sent.

     

    Its interesting, as the mail function works using the example provided in my first post, so it doesn't seem to be the web server rejecting the messages (but I understand what you are thinking).

     

    It must be the poorly written code (which I inherited by the way!). I am really out of touch with coding these days. Anyone have any other ideas?

    Issue with contact form within Word Press

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    Hope you can help. I've moved a word press site from one cPanel host to another. Since doing so the contact form doesn't work. The PHP versions are the same, with similar modules and php settings.

     

    The issue is, the form appears to send properly from the site, but the email never actually arrives. I tried changing the email its sending to, to a gmail account, a hotmail etc.

     

    To make sure the server use the mail() function i did the below and received the email straight away:

     

    <?php 
    ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
    error_reporting( E_ALL );
    $from = "bob@test.com";
    $to = "blah@example.co.uk";
    $subject = "PHP Mail Test script";
    $message = "This is a test to check the PHP Mail functionality";
    $headers = "From:" . $from;
    mail($to,$subject,$message, $headers);
    echo "Test email sent";
?>

    Here is the code to process the contact form, I've changed the email address for obvious reasons! Also, the eregi function is deprecated but not sure how to replace it with the new email validation function, if someone could help with that too that'd be awesome. I removed the eregi check to ensure that wasn't causing the issue just FYI.

     

    <?php
if(trim($_POST['checking']) !== ''){
  $capchaError = true;
} else {
  if(trim($_POST["name"]) === ''){
    $formError = true;
  } else {
    $name = trim($_POST['name']);
  }
  if(trim($_POST["email"]) === '') {
    $formError = true;
  } elseif (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST["email"]))) {
    $formError = true;
  } else {
    $email = trim($_POST['email']);
  }
  if(trim($_POST["number"]) === '') {
    $formError = true;
  } else { // validate phone to be either 10 or 11 digits
    $number = trim($_POST["number"]);
    $pattern = "/(((\+44)? ?(\(0\))? ?)|(0))( ?[0-9]{3,4}){3}/"; // allows for numbers 8 - 12 digits in length, starting 0 or +44
    $match = preg_match($pattern,$number);
    if ($match === 0) { // if validation fails
      $formError = true;
    } else { // if valiudation passes
      $phone = trim($_POST["number"]);
    }
  }
  if(trim($_POST["subject"]) === ''){
    $formError = true;
  } else {
    $msgSubject = trim($_POST['subject']);
  }
  if(trim($_POST["message"]) === '') {
    $formError = true;
  } else {
    if(function_exists("stripslashes")) {
      $comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['message']));
    } else {
      $comments = trim($_POST['message']);
    }
  }
  if($formError !== true) {
    $email_to = "removed@gmail.com";
    $subject = "Message from the website";
    $message = 'Name: '. $name . "\n\nPhone: " . $phone . "\n\nEmail: " . $email . "\n\nSubject: " . $msgSubject. "\n\nMessage: " . $comments;
    $headers = 'From: '.$name.' <'.$email.'>';
    mail($email_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    $sent = true;
  }
  if(isset($sent) && $sent == true) {
    header("Location: /thank-you/");
  } else {
    header("Location: /message-not-sent/");
  }
}
if($capchaError == true) {
  header("Location: /message-not-sent/");
}
?>

    The code for the form on the contact page is as follows (some details changed again):

     

      <form action="http://www.site.co.uk/wp-content/themes/site/php/contactprocess.php" id="contact" method="post" class="threeQuarter">
                            <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>
                            <input type="email" id="email" placeholder="Email" name="email" required>
                            <input type="tel" id="number" placeholder="Number" name="number" required>
                            <input type="text" id="subject" placeholder="Subject" name="subject" required>
                            <textarea id="message" placeholder="Message" name="message" required></textarea>
                            <span id="screenReader">Spam Protection - <i>Do not enter anything in this field</i>
                                <input type="text" name="checking" class="checking" placeholder="Ignore" value="" />
                            </span>


                            <button class="button fifth" name="serviceFormOne" type="submit">Send</button>
                        </form>

     

    Thanks for any help.

     

    Help with WHMCS - Smarty php tags now have to be hooks?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Thanks for your reply. That seems to return the following error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting ')' in /home/galaxy/public_html/includes/hooks/header.php on line 16

     

    Also I'm not quite sure the logic is correct, the idea is to put something like this in the title tags on the header file i.e. <title>{$pagetitle}</title>, obviously the {$pagetitle} bit would come from the hook, which would contain a list of page titles for each page, it does mean i have a list of variables for each page title, but theres only 20 or so, so its not too bad.

     

     

    Thanks

    Help with WHMCS - Smarty php tags now have to be hooks?

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I am looking to update whmcs from 5.3.x to 6 however some of my template files contain {php} tags...

     

    I tried enabling the legacy php tag support within whmcs but it doesn't help - none of the php tags are parsed on a test copy of the site.

     

    I have found this article which suggests the php code needs to be loaded through a hook http://docs.whmcs.com/Templates_and_Custom_PHP_Logic, but I can't quite grasp what is required to get it working.

     

    Heres an example.. if someone can explain how this would work within a hook I think I can figure the rest out on my own!

     

    {php}
    if( $qrystr = strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?' ) ) $url = substr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, $qrystr ); elseif( $qrystr = strpos( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '#' ) ) $url = substr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, $qrystr ); else $url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $titleprefix = "Title";
    $titledefault = "$titleprefix - blah blah blah";
    $title[$url]="$titledefault";
    $title["/"]="$titledefault";
    $title["/index.php"]="$titledefault";
    $title["/affiliates.php"]="$titleprefix - Affiliates";

    {/php}

     

    and so on.... for each page.

    and there are further lines for other functions like setting meta tags and robots prefs, but they are the same format as above..

     

    Thanks for any help!

    Help with GET - Set session to override mobile redirection

    in Third Party Scripts

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    Just looking for some help.

     

    The code is part of a mobile redirection script, to redirect certain user agents to a mobile page.

    The GETs are being used to allow mobile users to override the mobile redirection so they can view the desktop site on their mobile by setting a session that disables the redirection.

     

    I have the following code, which works however I have some niggles/concern.

     

    1) Could the script be used to inject code onto my site, as there is no sanitising on the GET funcitons.

     

    2) When using the GET function, sometimes ?goclient=true / ?gohome=true is appended to the url even though it has redirected them to the correct page.

     

    3) There are two different links to the normal desktop site, one to the home page, and another that goes straight to the client login page.

    Is it a problem using the same session name?

     

    4) Can I put the 'if ( $_GET['gohome'] != 'true' ) and if ( $_GET['goclient'] != 'true' )  into one statement, as i did them seperately.

     

    5) Is there a way to tidy up the code? At the moment the if statements are seperate out, perhaps it can be coded more efficiently?

     

    Obviously this isn't the full code, and the list of vars has been shortened to iphone and ipod - really there are over 30 vars.

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

     

    
// redirect to mobile site because session doesnt exist
if ( $_GET['gohome'] != 'true' ) {
if ($iphone || $ipod) {

  if (!isset($_SESSION['moboverride'])) {

header('Location: http://www.site.com/mobile/'); 

	}
}
}

// redirect to mobile site because session doesnt exist
if ( $_GET['goclient'] != 'true' ) {
if ($iphone || $ipod) {

  if (!isset($_SESSION['moboverride'])) {

header('Location: http://www.site.com/mobile/');

	}
}
}

// redirection override session exists and url contains ?goclient=true, so redirect to client login page, dont redirect to mobile
if ( $_GET['goclient'] == 'true' ) {
if ($iphone || $ipod) {

  if (!isset($_SESSION['moboverride'])) {
    $_SESSION['moboverride'] = true;

header('Location: http://www.site.com/clientarea.php');

	}
}
}

// redirection override session exists and url contains ?gohome=true, so redirect to normal home page, dont redirect to mobile
if ( $_GET['gohome'] == 'true' ) {
if ($iphone || $ipod) {

  if (!isset($_SESSION['moboverride'])) {
    $_SESSION['moboverride'] = true;

header('Location: http://www.site.com/');

	}
}
}

    if statement based on php time

    in Third Party Scripts

    Posted

    Thank you very much for that. One question though,

     

    what is this code for?

     

    for($i = 0; $i < 50000; $i++)
{

     

    Its confuzzled me a bit..

     

    Would it work like this?

     

    <?php

$handle = fopen('time.txt', 'r');
$old_time = fread($handle, 10);
fclose($handle);

$now_time = time();
$final_time = ($now_time - $old_time);

if($final_time > 30)   {
function would go here..
}else{
echo 'You must wait';die;
}

$time_end = time();
$handle = fopen('time.txt', 'w');
fwrite($handle, $time_end, 10);
fclose($handle);
?>

     

     

     

    if statement based on php time

    in Third Party Scripts

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I need a basic if function to run based on time.

     

    How it will work is, the script is called.

    If the script was ran in the last 30 seconds then nothing happens, else it carries out the function.

     

    The last access time would have to be stored so the script could see if the current time is more than 30 seconds past the time in the file, a simple text file would be sufficient for this.

     

    Can anyone advise how I'd achieve this?

     

    Thanks for any help!

    Comma problems!

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi,

    If I need to put commas within a variable how can this be achieved?

     

    i.e. if statement..... {

    $output = "text1,text2,text3";

     

    Incase your wondering what I'm trying to do.. basically im using a header file on my site... i want different keywords within the meta tags depending on the page the user is on, so i want to include aprox 20 keywords in the $output which will be inserted in the comma area of the meta tags.

     

     

    Probably quite an easy way to do it but I'm not sure how to do it! Any help appreciated!

     

    Form validation problem

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    $email is inputted via a form, I think its this bit of coding thats causing the problem as when I remove this bit of code the problem goes away, but I need to ensure proper emails are entered. Any ideas?

     

    The form consists of name, businessname, email, phonenumber and message, the problem arrises when the person fills out their email, they can leave the message field empty and the form still sends, if they dont enter an email and only enter a phone number (which is acceptable) they then need to enter a message before the form sends (which again is correct) but its only when entering an email the rest of the validation following the code provided stops working.

     

    I think the way I've coded it is halting any following validation.. but only when an email is inputted

    Form validation problem

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I need it so that if the email field isn't blank then the validation be ran against it, but the form is sending even when the message is left empty even though the validation in place is correct, I think the way the below is coded is causing the issue, can it be improved?

     

    Here is the current code I've got:

     

      else if ($email != "") {

  if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $email)) {

  $error = "The format of your email address is not valid.";

       } 
       }

     

    Sorry if thats not clear enough but hopefully you get what I mean!  :confused:

     

    Thanks for any help!

    [SOLVED] Help setting data in header file from a seperate file

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    This may sound a little confusing but I will explain as best as I can!

     

    I am using includes to build up my pages, for example the contact page would be made up of the following includes; header.tpl, contact.tpl and footer.tpl

     

    What I am trying to do is make it so that when I navigate between pages the relative navigation button will be set to "active" in the header.tpl file, so that the user can see what page they are on when they look at the navigation buttons. If this isn't possible then any other way of acheiving the same outcome is fine. But this has got me a little stuck.

     

    So if I was on the home page the header would be something like this (I've removed a lot of div tags etc to make things as simple as possible for any one who can help).

     

    <a href="home" title="" class="active">Home</a><a href="example" title="">Example</a><a href="contact" title="">Contact</a>

     

    If i then navigated to the contact page the header should look like this:

     

    <a href="home" title="">Home</a><a href="example" title="">Example</a><a href="contact" title="" class="active">Contact</a>

     

    Hopefully you guys will be able to help! Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    [SOLVED] after submitting a form half the page doesnt load

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Thats worked perfectly! Job done.

     

    Now I've created myself another problem. Ideally if the user doesnt pass the form validation, i.e. they miss a required field I want it to display an error on a page without the form showing (like the thank you msg), I've done this, but when there is an error the page shows fine but when you try to go back it doesnt let me go back.

     

    I am using a php session to remember the contents of the entered fields, so I assume this is causing the issue.

     

    I have also noticed that when the form is sent, if you leave the page and go back to the page it shows the thank you page (until the session expires anyway). Is there a way to overcome this?

     

    Im using the following to retain the data:

     

    <?php
session_start();
?>

      if ($submit) {

  foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
    $_SESSION[$key]=$value;
  }

    <input class="form" name="name1" type="text" size="26" maxlength="20" value="<? print("$_SESSION[name1]");?>" />

     

    Any further help would be appreciated.

    [SOLVED] after submitting a form half the page doesnt load

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted 

      die(include('footer.php'));

     

    Works a treat, but I also need to include some text.

     

    I.e. Form subimitted bla bla bla. and then have the footer file included.

     

    Having two die functions doesnt work, is there another way of achieving this?

     

     
die ("<br /><b>Thank you $name1.<br/ ><br />Your message has been received and will be answered shortly.</b><br /></div></div>");

die(include('footer.php'));

     

    Thanks

     

     

    [SOLVED] after submitting a form half the page doesnt load

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    When the form has passed all validation I am using the die function to display a page saying the form has been sent etc. However only half the page loads, it seems that the footer file is not loaded although the header file is loaded. If i paste the contents of the footer file within the die command the page appears as normal. This is a temp fix though as this causes a problem because when I update my footer file I would need to keep manually updating my contact forms footer data.

     

    Is there a solution to this? Can i somehow include the footer file as part of the die command or something like this?

     

    Hope some one can help

     

    Thanks
